Great post Vivek, :thumbsup
Can't wait to see what Syd Mead comes up with. Probably a good idea to add Syd Mead to the thread title. Tons of Syd Mead freaks on here.

Boo hoo. No Greg Broadmore?

Still, Syd. Wow. I look forward to the neon-lit circular things and many, many fine ruled lines. :lol

Expect the Blade Runner comparisons to go into high gear now...

Blade Runner is my favorite movie. They are definitely taking a step in the right direction getting Syd Mead. I am really looking forward to this.

I'm sure Greg is busy on other shows; but, yes, it does suck.

Pretty darn slick.

Damn...waiting for Blomkamp's next offering is going to be incredibly difficult. This'll will be the project that either defines him as one of this generation's greatest sci-fi writer/directors, or a one hit wonder.

I agree, and I'm certainly hoping for the former. I have high expectations for Blomkamp; projects like this and Scott's Prometheus have so much potential to become classics.

I was never so gutted when the "Halo" rug got pulled from under the feet of Neil B and Peter Jackson, and I rejoiced that "District 9" did as well as it did,as an illustration as to how wrong the studios were not to have faith in the pair of them. I realy am hoping that Blomkamp retains enough independance when filming this to turn out a classic.

First Synopsis for ELYSIUM

"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."

And this private screening was held yesterday for some lucky chaps.

The prop gun is titled Chem Rail and is likely one of many cool props we will see from this movie.
