i think nerf makes a cheaper versionj/k but seriously, it kind of looks like a nerf rifle.
I'm really looking forward to this film and the props but I have to agree.

The scope looks a bit like the one that comes on the nerf nitron, which I think those nerf disc guns all owe a lot of their look to district 9, and avatar.
My first impression of that gun was "Looks like an RDA rifle from Avatar."
I'm hesitant about this one. I don't care for Matt Damon in action films. Well, in any film.

I dunno, 2097. I don't think I will be around to see it.

Are they kidding with that info kiosk and the molded attendant? It's horrible. Reminds me of the "Johnnie Cab" drivers from "Total Recall". And the huge "CHEMRAIL" logo on Damon's gun says to me "LOOK, I AM A MOVIE PROP!" Bad logo and way too large and showy for what seems to be a military weapon.

I'd really like to see the footage first but it sounds like this is going to the top of my "must go to see" films of 2013. Has a "Neuromancer" vibe to it with the "Sprawl" type projects and the "jacking data from an orbital spa" storyline but with much more hard and fast action. Great team of designers, futurists and actors involved in this and Neil B brings a real visual style that hugely impresses. From the feedback so far I think this will be a stunner. Hope the lass from "Predators" gets some decent screen time, and I think Copleys "Kruger" will be THE MAN to hate as Matts opponent. Looks like Syd Meads been able to incorporate alot of his showcase future designs into Elysium itself and that is very goodnews indeed

Heavy Future: Elysium Comic-Con Video Interview with Matt Damon and Jodie Foster
Since the year 2013 began, whenever I am online catching up on movie updates, I keep hoping to see some news about the Elysium trailer or more so for the actual trailer to be online. The movie releases on August 9 and I'll be waiting another week until its India release on August 16. (Damn you Sony Pictures India).
So now in anticipation of the trailer I began going through the various comic-con videos which I had watched and saved from movie sites back in July 2012, but I forgot to share them online before.
If you enjoyed District 9 and if you're remotely excited about Elysium, you should consider watching these interview videos which are embedded in the above page.
Matt Damon gets into more details as to how the movie took off and how he got the role, Neill Blomkamp's creative approach, importance of comic-con, among other things. Jodie Foster talks about comic-con, her movie Contact, her role in Elysium, themes explored in the film, the studio's involvement with Neill, her approach in acting, her directing projects.
There is a moment in the video where Matt Damon mentions, "there was a whole separate book on weaponry". And I couldn't stop smiling while thinking about the awesome weapons and props this movie is going to showcase.
You can now pre-order the book Elysium: The Art of the Film, which will also include inputs from designer Syd Mead.
Also check out that great TED talk given by Neill Blomkamp on aliens and possible future Earth civilizations, which I have also discussed here.

I wish they had released her official photo early on; before these set photos got leaked. Maybe that's what this photo shoot was about, for the official release.
My eyes keep going back to the weapons and the movie set in the background. Hoping a trailer arrives soon, this wait is torture.

Quint chats with fantastic character actor William Fichtner about WRONG, ELYSIUM and THE LONE RANGER - Ain't It Cool News
"Quint (Eric Vespe): Whatever you’re doing, keep doin’ it because it’s working out so far. I actually can’t wait to see Elysium. I’m a big fan of Neill Blomkamp’s stuff so far and I’m dying to see what you guys do with the movie.
William Fichtner: Let me tell you something. I had to do a little ADR (additional dialogue recording) on Elysium… I can’t really tell you what it is, but I had an out loud vocal reaction of how freakin’ cool it was.
You know how there are no new things? There’s no new war movie, there’s war movies. Over time stuff like The Deer Hunter and Platoon ups it. All of a sudden somebody presents it to you in a way you’ve never seen before. It’s a new bar, a new mark of definitively telling you what something is. In the clips I saw from Elysium I felt like it did that. It really felt like I never saw that movie. It redefined something."
