We’re just a few days away from the debut of Neil Blomkamp’s Elysium and now Sony Pictures has rolled out two new clips that deals with Kruger, as played by Sharlto Copley. The film is now tracking for a $35 million opening in North America, a place where new properties are becoming harder and harder to win people over with, on a $90 million budget. Which is certainly more palatable when you compare some of the really big films hitting lately with huge price tags and little return.
Plot Concept: 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. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the planet’s crime and poverty, and they critically need the state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium – but some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens’ luxurious lifestyle. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission – one that pits him against Elysium’s Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces – but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life,
