Elysium Comic-Con 2012 Panel - Matt Damon, Jodie Foster



I'm pumped up for this one. Brought to you by Director Neill Blomkamp, the man behind the awesome District 9.

Saw it.  Dug it.  It was more cyberpunk than I had anticipated, but in a good way (and can I say that I love that the computer interfaces look almost old-fashioned).  While (spoiler alert) we don't spend too much time on the big E, that was the type of design style I had been hoping the reboot of Star Trek would have embraced, it was almost retro sleek without feeling old-fashioned, you know?  I probably should do some doodling of my own now.

Well ok then. The cyberpunk is news to me. In a good way. Love that stuff.

I had read they don't spend much time on Elysium. Maybe in pt. 2?

I would love to see more on Elysium, but when you get down (up?) to it, it's really just Bel Air on a big bike wheel with tunnels underneath.  Earth is actually much more futuristic, just less sleek.

The cyberpunk thing was such a welcome change of pace, and can I say that I love when computers in the future in film actually look kind of old, they look like sleek HD version of 1990s software interfaces, complete with a text font that looks even older (80s! ... I have no idea what the typeface is called) and even code and MS-DOS style start-up screens.
