Neill Blomkamp’s next project... ELYSIUM?

[Octoberist]

of course. 300 isn't meant to be realistic either. It's a lucid dream of a movie. But what I meant was something like Star Trek or something more reality-based like Mission Impossible 4, it has to be believable enough that you can buy into it.

Like Ghostbusters isn't meant to be super realistic but you bought into it because they made Slimer and Stay Puft believable.

Even in Transformers, there's real weight to the bots, despite some of the gaudy designs. You believe that these robots have real scratches, etc.

It depends on the film. For a movie like Elysium, where there's real grit in a nasty future being depicted, the CGI has to sell.

The director in whom truly understand how to make CGI work (mostly) would be Neil Bloomkamp, Speilberg (except for Indy 4), JJ Abrams, Chris Nolan, G. Del Toro, and yes even Michael Bay. Even Roland Emmerich is very good with CGI.

Wow, this looks so good.

This trailer played before Man of Steel tonite. It looks amazing on the big screen. I'm definitely considering seeing it in IMAX. The trailer was actually a little different, it was shorter and with different music.

Im pretty sure Blomkamps next project (Chappie) is going to be based off this short film he did back in 06, it looks really awesome.

 

[Poeman]

This film is going to hit us like a freight train...Just like District 9 did

Wrong short, he announced this week that its based off this even shorter short from 2003. Good fine on that other one though.

He also said that the bunny ears are staying.

I saw this version too and I love the music to it.

After seeing Man of Steel ( and mostly enjoying it), I've come to the conclusion that this is the kind of cg I like. Just bits and pieces to enhance the visuals. Not to overload on it. I can't wait for this. I hope they don't release a red band trailer cause then they would give too much away.

 

[Boom]

Watched the trailer five more times.

God bless Neill Blomkamp.

like the saying goes ''less is more''


Does anyone have any idea who does the music for the shortened version of the new trailer towards the end ( I want to say its Florence and the Machine but im probably wrong).

 

[Van Petrol]

Only just seen the latest trailer, but WOW!!!

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Amazing trailer, wasnt that impressed with the last one but this one was simply sublime, cannot wait for this. District 9 is one of my favourite movies ever, this could very well end up being as well.

 

[addison81]

I love Damon's exchange with the robots. "Hair products". "Neg-A-tive"

Almost got a "Road Warrior" feeling, can't wait for this film.

$90 million.

LMFAO! Nice.

Jesus, the little details in Neils visuals are breathtaking. I feel like SO MUCH time was taken in the rendering/concept art design process.

...I think I`m in love.

 

[addison81]

I am not looking forward to people complaining about the politics of this film. NO time for that when there are force fields and swords and space ships I say.

 

[Octoberist]

I guess people don't like subtext these days. Always going about 'agenda this' or 'agenda that'.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I like Blomkamp's work, but he ain't exactly subtle when it comes to political messages.

All they need now is a fat racist sheriff.

nothing wrong with subtexts just not so heavy handed

[addison81]

Love that weapon and the way it's pushing Kruger with the force field.

 

[matrix_ghost]

Yup.
People really hate it when it's a in-your-face message.
Subtle references are what sell movies

 

[Octoberist]

I don't know if I agree...however....I do have to say this: Neill is nearly repeating the same themes here. Doesn't help that the visuals have nearly the same DNA as District 9 either.

Is that good or bad? We shall find out.
