It’s crazy to think how little is known about Elysium and that the damn thing has been done for so long, There still is so little info out there, even though it was originally set to be released a week from today, before its shift to August 9th. Eat your heart out JJ.
Still, director Niel Blomkamp has to be good and ready to let this one out of the bag and move on, and he’s already actively prepping his third feature Chappie– a scifi comedy he’s co-written with his wife. Today we learn that he’s rolled up his sleeves and dug into the project already, and that the film will shoot in Johannesburg with Media Rights Capital (Elysium, Ted, House Of Cards) backing it.
There are no details on the plot of the film, but he’s described it as a more sentimental, small comedy with a scifi backdrop.
As for another District film, there are no concrete plans and Blomkamp has been decidedly non-committal on the subject, to the point of being kinda cold about it. I wouldn’t hold my breath, in other words.

What do you mean that it’s hitting theaters in a week? Festival? Trailer? Don’t leave us hanging, Renn!
I think Renn might be going off old info. The current release date I’m seeing is August 9th. I reserve the right to be wrong.
Oh what, like I’m supposed to keep up with release dates for major motion pictures that change drastically, just because I TOTALLY WROTE THE COVERAGE OF THE CHANGE FOR THIS SITE AND FUCK YOU GOOGLE.
So yeah… fixed.
“a scifi comedy he’s co-written with his wife.”….hmmmmm…sounds….cute….
I thought District 9 was the sci-fi comedy he’d written with his wife. Seriously don’t get the worship for it. Films that are standalone masterpieces and absolutely do not warrant a sequel – Blade Runner and Inception. They can crank out Districts 10 – 20 for all I care.
