First Look at Jodie Foster in Neill Blomkamp’s ELYSIUM
Here’s our first look at Jodie Foster as Secretary Rhodes in Neill Blomkamp’s (District 9) upcoming sci-fi thriller ELYSIUM. The film is set in the year 2159, where the very wealthy lives on a man-made space station while the rest of population reside on a ruined Earth, and centers on a man (Matt Damon) who takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds. Elysium is scheduled to hit theaters August 2013.
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.
