While it doesn’t arrive until next March, the hype machine is already starting to spin for Neill Blomkamp’s next movie Elysium. The pic below has a shaven headed Matt Damon sporting a bad ass looking gun, that wouldn't be out of place in something like Halo.
Blomkamp had a fantastic feature debut with District 9 and not only is he taking the director’s credit for Elysium he’s also after writing it as well. Besides Matt Damon, Jodie Foster and the brilliant Sharlto Copley (who previously worked with Blomkamp in District 9). This is definitely one to add to your must see list for 2013.
Synopsis: 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, a 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 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
Released: March 1st 2013 (IRE / UK / USA)
