However, this movie is still in pre-production so I can't give you any further information. One thing for sure, the leading actors for "Elysium" will likely be 'star-studded'. Matt Damon has officially signed for the lead role, while Sharlto Copley, will reunite with Blomkamp in this movie as he landed the main actor for "District 9" before. Recently, Brazilian actor Wagner Moura also signed in, who is set to play a "powerful villain who has crazy sense of humor". Jodie Foster is being approached to star in this movie as well.
"Elysium" will come to theatres in March 8, 2013 as Sony Pictures announced. I don't know about Blomkamp's personal fascination to alien/sci-fi movie ideas, but looking back at "District 9", I'm just so optimistic about this movie. Blomkamp is a great director/writer, he could bring a 'heart' upon the blazing special effects and action. Hopefully he will receive more recognitions from his amazing works!
