We don't even know what the film is about yet, but the second film from District 9's Neill Blomkamp is already generating a lot of buzz. We reported earlier that District 9's Sharlto Copley will star in the film and that they were going after Matt Damon for a lead role.
Now, Deadline has gotten word that Jodie Foster has officially committed to Elysium. Hopefully, this casting news will mean that distributor selection and production will move along quickly and we'll have some more plot news for you.
