SDCC’09: Peter Jackson at Comic-Con

ICv2 is reporting that Peter Jackson will make his first apperance at the San Diego Comic-Con International to promote the alien sci-fi movie District 9.

District 9, which tells the story of an extraterrestrial race that lives in slums on Earth, will be released on August 14th.

I find it odd that this is his first appearance at SDCC, with all the success Lord of the Rings, King Kong and other related movies have had.  But then again, if he was spending all his time going to conventions we wouldn’t have had Lord of the Rings, King Kong, and other related movies.
