Elysium, Neill Blomkamp‘s follow-up to District 9, has been under development for quite some time. Heavy security stopped anyone from taking photos on the set and prevented us from getting an early look at what the film contains.

Earlier this year, an official photo debuted featuring District 9 star Sharlto Copley in a space suit. We also learned that the film will be set on another planet and combine sociopolitical ideas and action.

Now comes word that an early screening of Elysium was held. But for those (including myself) who could not attend the event, we were treated to an updated synopsis of the film. It pretty much clarifies what sociopolitical ideas we will be seeing in the film. Thanks to Collider providing the new synopsis for Elysium.
