The official 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 (Jodie Foster), a hard the government of?cial, 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 (Matt Damon) 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.
Set in the year 2159, where the very wealthy lives on a man-made space station while the rest of population reside on a ruined Earth, a man takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds.
Last week we reported that director Neill Blomkamp was moving forward on his second big-screen outing, the sci-fi project entitled, Elysium. We also told you that Sharlto Copley, the star of the director’s blockbuster, District 9 had already signed on to star in the film.
Now,
Deadline reports that actor
Matt Damon (
True Grit, The Adjustment Bureau) is in talks to join the cast of the film. What role he could play will likely be a mystery for quite some time, Blomkamp has been fairly tight-lipped about
Elysium and has only said
“…I’ve got one science fiction idea that I’m absolutely in love with, which I’m pretty sure is going to be my next film. 99% sure…It’s totally original, it’s my own story…It’s set on another planet, but it’s cool. It’s violent, very violent, and very unique hopefully. We’ll see… It is science fiction and it has many sociopolitical ideas that interest me. Those ideas are wrapped up inside something that is like a Hollywood actionfilm…The setting for the next film takes place 150 years from now. There are two cities that I’m choosing between. They would play as themselves. They are not in South Africa.”
Elysium is slated to hit theaters in 2012.
