More on Neill Blomkamp's follow-up to 'District 9'
According to the internet, and it's never wrong, some lucky folks are about to see District 9 director Neill Blomkamp's new film Elysium. Even though it doesn't come out until next March. Hmmm. Suspend disbelief for a minute and read through this synopsis reputedly taken from the screening invitation:
"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 line government official, 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".
