Elysium is an upcoming American science fiction film written and directed by Neill Blomkamp. The film stars Matt Damon and Jodie Foster, and is scheduled to be released on August 9, 2013.
The year is 2154. Two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a perfect man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, bankrupt Earth.
Earth has become a trash-filled landscape policed by robotic droids.
Matt Damon plays an ailing Earthling trying to infiltrate Elysium to find a cure for himself, and possibly all of humanity.
He is up against Elysium's Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces.
On Monday the director allowed a few hundred film fans in Los Angeles and Berlin an early look at the future home of the 1 per cent as he imaged it, and earned excited reactions.
Vulture's Kyle Buchanan noted that Elysium is an action movie for the "99 percent" while IGN.com's Jim Vejvoda wrote "Elysium certainly looks as daring and cool as District 9.
"Elysium looks very, very sweet. It seems as human and smart as District 9, but with even more action and visual effects, another piece of thinking man's sci-fi entertainment from Neill Blomkamp."
I loved the movie trailer and even paused it to see if Robert DeNiro was in it around 1.35 mark! What do you think? Is it him?
I loved the idea of the film, the 'white hat', ailing heroes against those 'black hatted' have it alls who aren't giving back to society. Then I remembered another movie which appeared to be of a similar 'rich floating in space - poor living on Earth' film. Wall-E.
Is Mat Damon the new Wall-E? I hope not, but you never know...
