Comic-Con: Neill Blomkamp's 'Elysium' Plus 'Looper', 'Total Recall'&'Resident Evil 5'

Luke Y. Thompson is contributing to Deadline’s coverage of Comic-Con. The most-anticipated moment of the Sony panel was easily the presentation of Neil Blomkamp‘s Elysium, and it did not disappoint, looking like a 2001/District 9 hybrid, or maybe even Wall-E with humans. It’s another stylish sci-fi class-struggle parable with Matt Damon as a shaven-headed working-class guy on an overpopulated earth (downtown LA is shown covered with tent encampments, even atop the skyscrapers).
