Neill Blomkamp's Elysium

[RIDDICK]

You are as cold as Russia.

And I love "The First Avenger" almost as much as "Iron Man"

 

[Biojex]

Looking really good.

 

[myc]

Well, a typical trailer - primitive plot around which you can promote designer's stuff and lots of action.
So there is no point to jump to conclusions now, must see the movie and judge the quality of the script.

Also I've rewatched 'District 9' and my opinion about it has not changed.
There were some interesting ideas and cool things but it's just not my kind of movie.

Anyway wanna see it at the cinema just coz exoskeletoned Matt Damon kicks ***!

I agree dont see what the hype is about distract was ok this new trailer is overhyped.

Sharlto deserved a credit in the trailer.

 

[FLOSI]

Can't wait for this! I love that it's coming in August too.

 

[intothevoid]

Sharlto deserved a credit in the trailer.

Yeah I was surprised about that. Maybe they will feature him more prominently in the 2nd trailer and give him the credit then?

 

[CelticPredator]

This trailer suffered from the lack of Sharlto.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Just watched the trailer. Looks good. Love the concept of the privileged in a perfect planet while the rest live on ****ty Earth

I'm sensing avatar sindrome here. A film whose trailers just don't do it justice and years of hype ended up going, that's it? I have no doubt the film will be great but that trailer was lacking, looked cool but I'm betting the movie will be way better.

 

[intothevoid]

Avatar movie was better than the trailer?

 

[CelticPredator]

The Avatar trailer pretty much was the movie.

 

[Niltusk]

Soooo...future movie where America is in space and called "Elysium" and crossing the border consists of a rocket into space.

Looks awesome. I liked the music.

https://www.civilcooperationbureau.com - Viral site where you can check out the weapons, vehicles, robots, and other tech from the film.

Wow. I am loving the weapons and vehicle designs. The bots are awesome too. I am wanting these things to be made so that I may purchase them.

Avatar movie was better than the trailer?

What i meant was the hype leading up to the trailer. Both had a lot of buzz but neither trailer seemed to show case the film that well. Regardless of what some might think of avatar there's a reason why it made two billion dollars. Any ways i think the movie will be a lot better than what the trailer showed.

Christian Pearce designed all of the droids, as well as a few spaceships and a gold-plated pistol that will appear in the film. He also designed a futuristic sub-machine gun.

Aaron Beck designed both HULC suits for Matt Damon and Sharlto Copley's characters. He also designed the modded AK-47, as well as the Chemrail.

TyRuben Ellingson designed the Raven (the camouflage colored aircraft that appears in the trailer).

And Leri Greer also contributed to the film. I think he did a lot of the graffiti and tattoo designs, but I'm not 100% sure.

And what's even cooler is, Neill Blomkamp originally designed the futuristic Bugatti by himself--but when he contacted the company to use their brand in the film, they offered to help design it by having Blomkamp work directly with the designers of the Veyron. Cool stuff.

If there's one thing the teaser established very well; it's how terrific and expansive a 'world builder' Neill Blomkamp is. Just in terms of the visuals and art design alone, he's certainly worthy of being compared to the James Camerons and George Lucases of the world.

Oh, and even if you guys don't like sports, you might want to tune into the NBA Finals tonight. They aired the first TV spot for 'Elysium' during game one and it contained a couple shots of new footage, including a shot of some of those red Homeland security droids being dropped off from a ship.

'Elysium' Composer on How to Write an 'Organic' Score (Hint: Hire Monkeys and Mosquitos) - The Hollywood Reporter

Ryan Amon is composing music for a feature film for the first time and Neill Blomkamp hired him after listening to his tracks on YouTube.

 

[CelticPredator]

Trailer music is a brilliant area to tap. I approve Mr. Blomkamp.

I didn't think much of the trailer to be honest. I thought it was very "meh" even though I hate using that term. Just didn't look very interesting to me. Too close to District 9 visually and the story seemed a bit forced (another social Sc-fi analogy). But I will still take a trip to see it when it's released as I thought D9 was great.
