Neill Blomkamp the co-writer and director of the surprise hit, District 9 is working on his long awaited and highly anticipated follow-up called Elysium.
Premise - Elysium is set on another planet in the far future. The film will combine sociopolitical ideas and action.
Matt Damon has forsaken his hair, too. Apparently, the new ‘do (or lack thereof?) is for his role in “Elysium,” director Neill Blomkamp’s follow up to “District 9.” The movie is a futuristic flick—the website teases “zero-g welders” and “quantum networkers”—and in it, Matt plays a hardened convict.
