There hasn’t been any new news since around May. But that hasn’t stopped Imdb from churning out “articles” that are merely copy-and-pastes from many months old info like the article I posted.

    For me Elysium was sooo full of plot holes and garbage shaky camera action sequences that couldn’t be visually parsed, that I gave up on him as a director. Absolute rubbish. 2/10

      It’s like he forgot that the shaky cam enhanced District 9 because it’s literally filmed like a documentary of events by an unprepared film crew making do with what they have. Meanwhile Elysium is not shot with the kind of style and just feels bad by doing that. If you’re going to use that kind of camera work you need to ground the audience in feeling like it’s appropriate.

          District 9 was 2009 so yeah there’d been 3 Bourne movies beforehand. But in District 9 it didn’t matter because the camera work enhanced the tone of the movie as a documentary of events that transpired.
