Alice Braga has joined the cast of “Elysium”
The new project from the director of "District 9" is still gaining stars. Neill Blomkamp will continue to work in the genre of fiction - the action of "Elysium" will develop in the future, in one hundred years. Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley and William Fichtner are already approved for the roles and now them has joined a star of "Predator" Alice Braga.
Whom, exactly, will play Brazilian actress, is not yet known. Moreover, the plot of "Elysium" is carefully concealed. It is known that, as in the "District", in the next movie of Blomkamp will open one of the social problems.
Matt Damon got the role of former prisoner, Jodie Foster headed alien race, but the villain will be Wagner Moura, the star from Jose Padilla novels "Tropa de Elite". Brazilian actor makes his debut in the English-language film, while his compatriot Alice Braga is prefigured in Hollywood. The last time Braga can be seen in "Repo Men" and "Predator" and in mystical thriller "The Rite".
In January of this year, Blomkamp persuaded the 77-year old artist Syd Mead's work on the design of his new movie. Mead had a hand in a number of films that have become classics in the genre of fiction, such as "Blade Runner", "Tron" and "Aliens." Get to work Mead is very hard: designer refuses virtually to all. But he fell in love "District 9", so that Blomkamp has managed to reach an agreement.
Release of "Elysium" in the U.S. is expected on March 1, 2013.
