Cool, they made a District 9 sequel called 'Elysium'


Official plot summary,

In the year 2159 two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster), a hard line government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max (Matt Damon) is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

There's still going to be a Jodi Foster in 2159?

My base reading is to have faith in those resposible for District 9, but that hardly sounds like the sequel I was expecting.

It's not a sequel to District 9! It's a totally self-contained original film.
