Sharlto Copley In Elysium - First Official Image

[Brendon Connelly]

In publishing this picture of Sharlto Copley in Neill Blomkamp's Elysium, Empire refer to the character, Kruger, as the film's villain. Well, that's maybe a little too black and white, judging from the footage I saw at Comic-Con. I would like to think Blomkamp's story - about class, healthcare, privilege, a life of labour and so on - would manage some sophistication and shade.

Still, "villain" or not, here's Kruger.



Seems to be wearing the same kind of exo-skeletal device that Matt Damon had in the firstand second images from the film. That alone should tell you something...

That looks pretty sweet. When's this thing supposed to come out?

District 9 was an instant classic IMHO, can't wait for his follow up..
