Not feeling that poster at all, but I think this movie will be fucking awesome. At least I hope so.. anyways, I cannot wait til the trailer hits.

I'm excited just because I want to see Sharlto Copley as a badass hobo-bounty hunter.

Something more in line with this picture would have made a way better poster.
 
I worked on the vfx for this movie and am very excited to be able to show you guys the trailer tomorrow :) :) :)
 
Honestly the plot sounds terrible and obvious. Bioschock Infinite probably has a better story to tell with more meaning.
Bioshock Infinite was better written/executed than A LOT of big budget movies. Wouldn't be a surprise.

This will be amazing hopefully though. Neil Blomkamp is pretty much the shining beacon of hope in the shitpile of new-gen sci-fi directors.
 
Yeah appreciate the heads up, didn't realize the trailer was so close. As regards Elysium and our recent visit to the Weta Cave/Workshop (just some rambling thoughts, possible vague spoiler, and unintentional boasting, i guess?):,
managed to get down to Weta Cave/Workshop last weekend (gf wanted to go for her bday), and went on their 'Window in the workshop tour' (this is more than worth the 20 bucks, if people are down at the Cave and wondering). The absolute most impressive stuff during the 30 minute no-cameras-allowed tour, for us, were the props from District 9 (and, by extension, the abandoned Halo film). As good as the CG was in D9, the practical stuff was just as critical to the gritty feel. The Weta industrial designer who conducted the tour said it was her favorite stuff to work on. We had a chance to talk to her briefly after the tour and topics went from Jim Henson to Syd Mead, but there was a bit of Elysium stuff that she didn't want to elaborate on, only to say that Weta did significant amounts of work on the movie, and that Copley's character undergoes an epic transformation during the film. Now it could be nothing, I haven't looked into the plot much, and could be misinterpreting the comments, but knowing what Copley went through in D9, and judging from the Elysium pics currently released, it's fun to imagine what they might put him through this time.
Anyway thanks again looking forward to checking out the trailer.

Ok you guys cannot complain about that poster.

No blue/orange, no sparks, no blurry explosions in the background, and he's not holding a gun!

It's a pinnacle of creative expression for a modern action movie poster!
