Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Elysium’ Has a Villain, and a Release Date
Our good friends over at Latino Review broke the news that Wagner Moura, best known to film audiences for playing Colonel Nascimento in the kickass Brazilian films Elite Squad 1 and 2, has booked a villain role in District 9 director Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium.
Moura will join Sharlto Copley, Matt Damon, and Jodie Foster in the sci fi film which shoots this summer. Sony will release on March 8, 2013.
They also report that the sci fi film is set 100 years in the future and according to Blomkamp “is set on another planet, but it’s cool. It’s violent, very violent, and very unique hopefully.”![]()

‘It Ends’ Official Poster Paves the Way for the Trailer Premiere Tomorrow
NEON is hitting the road this summer with Gen Z horror hangout movie It Ends, and the distributor promises this afternoon that the trailer will be released online tomorrow, July 22.
While you wait, check out the brand new It Ends poster below.
The feature debut by writer-director Alexander Ullom will arrive in theaters on August 21.
“Four recent college grads on a night time drive find themselves stuck on a road that sprawls on forever, with seemingly no end in sight. They are occasionally attacked by stragglers and have to find a routine to plan their rest stops, but after a few thousand miles it all feels the same. Still, they keep on driving, only in the belief something better will come eventually.“
Akira Jackson, Phinehas Yoon, Mitchell Cole, and Noah Toth star.
“This was always a movie that was more about how we live with horror than about the actual horror. I make this joke too much, but I always wanted to see the family in Hereditary give a postgame interview and just be like, ‘Yeah, that was terrifying. That was absolutely terrifying.’ Then, they all die, obviously, but like they go about their lives. The movie is constantly recontextualizing the things that happen in it,” Ullom previously told BD.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her 4-star festival review for Bloody Disgusting, “It Ends captures a universal fear, that anxiety-inducing transition into full-blown adulthood where we’re all expected to become responsible contributors to society. It’s a lot of pressure with no clear guide. As such, it runs through every emotion that comes with that journey.”
Alexander Ullom is already a filmmaker to watch; the newcomer has already been tapped to helm 4 X 4: The Event, which is being described as Battle Royale meets Saw meets Climax.
