Holy shit y'all, there is a new Elysium photo!



Neill Blomkamp‘s Elysium was one of the best-looking films I saw at Comic-Con this year. The film is set in 2159, and two classes of people are divided: the wealthy live on a man-made space station called Elysium, while the rest of the humans inhabit an overpopulated and ruined Earth. Elysium was on track for a March 2013 release, but then the movie was pushed back to August 2013, and that’s probably the smart decision. March has become insanely crowded, and Elysium feels like a big summer movie anyway (it’s also coming out the same week as District 9 did back in 2009). Today, a new image of star Matt Damon has been released. Damon plays a man who’s forced to become a cyborg (lol what?) and travel to Elysium in order to retrieve a cure that would save his life.

Hit the jump to check out the image. The film also stars Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, William Fichtner, and Diego Luna. Elysium opens August 9, 2013.

Ugh, I'm so excited for this movie, I dont care if it is coming out in August 2013 (better chances of me seeing it midnight premiere, tbh), but can we please get a picture of Sharlto Copley next time? :(

Since the total recall remake was a total flop and looper was only okay, this will become my new future-sci-fi-hope-it's-good movie.

Also: Matt Daaaamon.

lol okay, sell me on why it better than just okay.

Plz note: you cannot use JGL's face, because of the prosthetics.

lol my parents did too. I loved it, and catched them one day watching it, and was all "OMG watch it all the way, best sci-fi movie since forever, etc". And when they finished it, they looked at me and dad actually said "are you kidding me".

I immediately though "L'cie brand" when I first saw his neck tattoo.

The name always reminds me of a terrible goth club in Austin that my friends and I went to only because they had a good '80s dance night.

I can never decide if Matt Damon is hot or not
ljubavirakija 19th-Nov-2012 05:19 pm (UTC)
I flip-flop too.

I don't find Jason Bourne hawt; but, I get a comedic crush on Damon when he's clearly doing a bit on Kimmel, or elsewhere
warsawed 19th-Nov-2012 05:21 pm (UTC)
MTE

I thought he was hot in Good Will Hunting but his head got really big since then (literally not figuratively)
loganx2 19th-Nov-2012 05:20 pm (UTC)
thin matt damon, not hot. chubby matt damon, not hot. In between thin and chubby matt damon, hot.

I will love him forever because I think he is a smart, funny, down to earth guy, but I can go back and forth on the hotness.
myblackass 19th-Nov-2012 05:40 pm (UTC)
He has his moments but sometimes he is straight up pig face.
bloblawslawblog 19th-Nov-2012 09:26 pm (UTC)
hot

loganx2 19th-Nov-2012 05:19 pm (UTC)
ugh Matt Damon I love you. I go back and forth on the bald head, right now I love it.

I cant wait for this movie, plus Matt really does need a hit.

Omg OT but ONTD wasn't loading for me, and I was terrified some epic thing was going on that was breaking it
maryhurt 19th-Nov-2012 05:22 pm (UTC)
wait, wasn't this district 9's sequel?

idgi
somnus_angel 19th-Nov-2012 05:26 pm (UTC)
This is a completely different movie all together its a sci-fi but with no aliens and more of a futuristic concept, there is no plans to make a District 9 sequel so far (unfortunately)
maryhurt 19th-Nov-2012 05:29 pm (UTC)
:(
vanishingbee 19th-Nov-2012 05:31 pm (UTC)
lbr if they got handed the perfect screenplay they would make it

but IMO you shouldn't make a sequel to a movie that god unless the sequel's gonna be perfect.

BUT I NEED TO KNOW IF CHRISTOPHER CAME BACK FOR WIKUS
arbiterin 19th-Nov-2012 05:24 pm (UTC)
My sci-fi loving heart is so fucking excited for this.

ps: still bitter we lost the chance to get a Blomkamp Halo movie :(

He's my husband.

Just came in to express my love for your icon OP!

Haytham was more of a badass than Connor tbh
somnus_angel 19th-Nov-2012 05:55 pm (UTC)
Thanks! finally another fellow Haytham fan on ONTD and yeah I agree, I got so use to playing Haytham that I was sad when we got to play as Connor, I was like "no go back, I want to play as the sassy British man :("
smileyjoe222 19th-Nov-2012 06:12 pm (UTC)
For real :( I was thinking "Oh, well since he's supposed to be the antagonist now, Connor has to be some pretty high levels of awesome to out do this guy and make us dislike him." Nope nope. Connor was a whiny kid and I couldn't handle it. When we got to hang out with Haytham again I just wanted to beg him to stay so I could go on adventures with him in Boston and the frontier.

My primary questions:

How does he change his clothing?
How does he potty in that thing?

/Why is my brain asking these questions at all?
azrielen 19th-Nov-2012 06:48 pm (UTC)
Knowing how graphically realistic the director likes to get with these things we will probably find out.
gabzillaz 19th-Nov-2012 05:36 pm (UTC)
Reminds me of Alita
arbiterin 19th-Nov-2012 06:00 pm (UTC)
One of my first thoughts as well.
gabzillaz 19th-Nov-2012 06:09 pm (UTC)
Flawless lady in your icon <3
writeontime 19th-Nov-2012 05:41 pm (UTC)
I was at the panel for this at CC. So much anticipation - the clips they showed were AMAZING, and Matt was so enthusiastic during the Q & A.
somnus_angel 19th-Nov-2012 05:48 pm (UTC)
So jealous :(

I'm going to try to get tickets for next years comic con, they better have a panel or else I'm going to kick something
anti_krypton 19th-Nov-2012 07:20 pm (UTC)
Oh man me too. I had no idea this film even existed before then. So so excited now!
