You know it's going to be a good film if Postal makes a thread about it
A reason to love Matt Damon, and I guess Affleck since he's in the scene. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgMiLYF-sM4[/media] Around at 5:50 is when Matt really shines. But I do believe in this.
A new Neil Blomkamp film? Sign me up.
Postal is a prophet of good movies. None of the movies he has made threads about were bad. Shit forgot to quote Hezzy but w/e
[url]http://www.deadline.com/2011/01/neill-blomkamps-elysium-creating-heat/[/url] [quote=Deadline]EXCLUSIVE: District 9 director Neill Blomkamp has been meeting with studios today on Elysium, his futuristic science fiction next film. The pic, which stars Matt Damon, Jodie Foster and Sharlto Copley, is being financed by Media Rights Capital. Blomkamp, MRC's Modi Wiczyk and Simon Kinberg (who's producing with Bill Block) began the day by going from studio to studio, meeting with high-level decision makers who are reading the script, followed by a storyboarded presentation by Blomkamp. This is being repeated at every studio but Disney, which won't make[highlight] R-rated event films[/highlight]. I'm told this the movie has the social allegory present in the Sony Pictures Entertainment-directed District 9, but it's an unabashedly big movie, set 100 years in the future, with all of the obligatory gadgets and technological advances. [highlight]Blomkamp will have his sets designed by Syd Mead, famous for his work on films like Blade Runner. Mead's very hard to hire, but he responded because he so liked District 9.[/highlight] The film will prep in April, and start production in July in Vancouver before moving to Mexico City in the fall. The film will be delivered in time for [highlight]release during the 2012 holidays[/highlight]. It's a tent pole-sized proposition, but like Chris Nolan's Inception, it's a fully realized project that a studio can pencil into its release calendar. I don't think it's going to take long to sell.[/quote] [editline]19th January 2011[/editline] So it's rated R, it's gonna have awesome sets, it's not going to be a small film, and it's coming out holidays 2012. Fantastic.
[QUOTE=Carne;27177936]It's sort of funny how Sharlto Copley seems to be a better actor than most of the professionsals, even though District 9 was his first role, and he used to work as a animator before that. Unlike most people here, I don't mind Matt Damon.[/QUOTE] Matt Damon was fucking amazing in Good Will Hunting [editline]19th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=PunchedInFac;27215891]And now I know the plot. A person from the slums/shittier part of the planet (will probably be called Hades/the Depths/Depth of Hades) will uncover a plot about how a conspiracy in Elysium (the higher echelons of that planet) are planning to demolish the entire slum that is full of the sick, needy and jobless DUE to an overpopulation problem and over consumption of resources. The movie will delve into themes of: -What we are worth as humans -Human compassion -human malice. -Possibly how the rich/privileged are all (mostly?) self-serving backstabbing bastards. The story works just as well with a person from Elysium itself.[/QUOTE] quoting post for when you are wrong about the plot
[quote] Blomkamp will have his sets designed by Syd Mead, famous for his work on films like Blade Runner. Mead's very hard to hire, but he responded because he so liked District 9[/quote] This is fantastic news. Can't wait for it.
I'm expecting great things from this! Loved the environment in Blade Runner.
WELP that was fast. The article has been updated a bunch: [url]http://www.deadline.com/2011/01/neill-blomkamps-elysium-creating-heat/[/url] Sony has again stepped up to distribute the project, like they did for District 9, and Media Rights Capital will finance. We are good to go.
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;27224990]You know it's going to be a good film if Postal makes a thread about it[/QUOTE] I usually just scroll the movie section until I find a thread made by Postal :v:
Not only has Media Rights Capital agreed to finance and greenlight Elysium, but they've also already greenlit Blomkamp's next film, called Chappie, for production immediately after this one wraps production. Things are really going great for Blomkamp. And before you ask, there are absolutely no details on what Chappie is.
[QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;27177973]I thought Sharlto was a producer or something? Anyway, he really is a great actor, loved him in the A-Team.[/QUOTE] A director and writer, too. Anyway, can't wait to see it.
Release date is set for March 8th 2013. Hell of a wait but it's gonna be worth it. Also we have a villain now. This dude [url]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0609944/[/url] plays some 'powerful' guy with a 'crazy sense of humor'.
Holy shit, him? He was in Elite Squad, fucking awesome movie.
William Fichtner is in talks to join the film [url]http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118035071[/url] That is fucking awesome, i love that guy.
Syd Mead? I'm on it bro. I'm on it like a rich executive on a hooker's coke lined vagina.

He's a brilliant actor, but I'm not entirely sure how he'll do playing a role in english.
Fuck yes finally the news is coming in. [url]http://armadyne.net/[/url] Viral marketing is underway.
Well, this has peaked my interest. Everything Blomkamp does is gold, can't wait to see how this turns out.
This movie interests me
My only concern: One of the major reasons District 9 was so good for me was because it felt like I was watching a real documentary. How all the acting was flawless, how improvised most of the dialogue was and how it had pretty much completely unknown actors, whom most of them had never been in a movie before. Elysium on the other hand will have some big names, and I just hope, hope the actors will be given the same freedom like it was with District 9. Will it feel natural, or will it feel like the actors just read their lines straight off a script? I guess this is also up to the producers. Peter Jackson let Blomkamp do pretty much whatever he wanted, and I hope Hollywood doesn't get to twist the director around their fingers as much as they want.
Well, Jodie Foster and Matt Damon didn't get to where they were being shitty actors and Sharlto has already proved himself to be awesome.
Hmmm, so this "Elysium" sounds like a movie about a Generation Ship. Whether this is about the construction, the journey, or what they find at the destination, we dunno yet. But we'll probably get a bit more intel on Armadyne in the coming weeks/months.

[/QUOTE] I do hope they ease down on the camera shaking at least a little bit. Made me all dizzy and shit.
hi remember this movie [url]http://entertainment.inquirer.net/23433/%E2%80%98bourne-legacy%E2%80%99-to-shoot-in-ph-in-january[/url] [quote]“Elysium” takes place in the future, but Matt clarified that “there aren’t any aliens in it. It’s about what happened to Planet Earth. There’s a dynamic involving Taurus, an orbital habitat called Elysium that is hovering over Earth. That’s probably all I can say about it.”[/quote] Some pretty big details for such a short quote. No aliens, that's a surprise.
I wonder what the baddies are gonna be. Will it be terrorists or a rogue AI
Maybe humans that are pissed that earth sucks and that rich people get to live in the utopian space station?
I'd guess the baddies will eventually turn out to be the corporations stepping on the little guy.
Such a silent production news-wise when you compare it to the batman movie, but HEY filming is FINISHED. Now we have to wait 15 fucking months for it to hit theaters fucking hell, how much special effects does this film have?
