Neill Blomkamp’s next project... ELYSIUM?

[Snow Queen]

Check out that leadership page. President Patel is listed as orchestrating peace talks in 2077,and elected president in 2158. Needless to say medicine is apparently awesome in the future.

Go to the home tour section and click on the medical pod thing. It says it virtually eliminates the effects of aging.

 

[redhawk23]

Yeah I've seen that now. I imagine access to such technology will be a clear dividing line between the rich and the poor.

 

[Thundercrack85]

It's not really that farfetched a concept. We have some ideas on how to achieve immortality (or at least, to ****** aging), we just don't have the technology yet. And, it would probably become fairly inexpensive over time, as most technologies become.

Ironically the actual achievement would cause a lot of problems, since it would result in overpopulation, and overburden most institutions.

Just imagine how many kids people would have if they could stay in their physical 20's and 30's, for decades.

I see they changed Jodie Foster's character name from the script. That's kinda odd to just change the name.I imagine they will sell this as "from the director of District 9"

 

[dark_b]

whats the april 8 date?

 

[addison81]

They are showing footage in L.A with Blomkamp in attendance.

 

[dark_b]

[addison81]

I'm thinking a trailer will be released with Oblivion.

I hope we finally get a trailer for this soon.

 

[hammerhedd11]

To think at one point this would've been in theaters right now...

 

[dark_b]

thank you for reminding me.

[dude stannis]

Dat Fitch? I didn't know he was in this?!?!?!?! Awesome!

 

[Team Andino]

I had forgotten all about this movie, I was very much looking forward to it when I first heard about it. When he got delayed it went out of mind but saw the thread pop up now was a nice reminder. August will be here before we know it.

 

[addison81]

Gotta love Fichtner. He's good in everything, even Ultraviolet, still have nightmares about seeing that in theaters, but he was good.

 

[Maximus One]

Fichtner!!!! Dude is like a damn god to me. He's never EVER been bad in anything. Blind dude in Contact? Check. Brett Butler's bf on Grace Under Fire? Check. Alex mother****ing Mahone on Prison Break? CHECK! He's just one of them dudes that you always recognize and you kinda underestimate but as soon as he's on screen and into **** just BOOM. Even his 2 minutes in TDK stood out. This used to be about honor! Respect! Lol yea, he got this

 

[redhawk23]

There is something about his face that is actually really believable for a 150 year old man kept young and healthy by future medicine.
