'Earth has become a third world planet'
You likely know by now that we’re definitely anticipating Neill Blomkamp’s latest sci-fi pic, Elysium. And this new featurette, with the cast and director chatting about the world of the film, just adds fuel to that fire. Check it out at Moviefone.
Elysium takes place in a future where the world has basically become the polluted, dirty, overpopulated, crime-ridden nightmare we all think it’s headed for anyway.
Orbiting above the surface, tantalising out of reach to all but the mega-rich, is the eponymous space platform, a haven for the moneybags, boasting clear air, plentiful food, advanced medical technology (cancer? Sorted) and laughing, happy people.
Getting to Elysium is no easy task – it’s protected by weaponry and troops and the sniffy Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster) decides who gets in and who gets shot down. Max De Costa (Matt Damon) a former criminal-turned-working schlub needs what Elysium has to offer. But can he get there?
With Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, William Fichtner, Diego Luna, Wagner Moura and Talisa Soto also aboard, Elysium will be out on August 21. Check out the latest trailer below.
