We can't wait to check out Elyisum, the latest film from District 9's Neill Blomkamp. While originally scheduled for release early in 2013, the movie got moved back to a more competitive summer release spot. We'll have a little bit of a wait until we get a really good look at the movie, but the first photo of Sharlto Copley as the film's villain was just released.
“In the year 2159 two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster), a hard the government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max (Matt Damon) is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.”
Elysium was directed by District 9's Neill Blomkamp and stars Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Diego Luna, Alice Braga, and William Fichtner. The movie will be released to theaters on August 9th.
