Sharlto Copley Interview - Elysium

South African actor Sharlto Copley made a huge impression on North American audiences when he starred in the hit film District 9, directed by his good friend Neill Blomkamp. Copley re-teams with Blomkamp in his much-anticipated follow-up Elysium, a sci-fi action film set in the not-too-distant future about two separate societies, inhabited by the extreme rich and the dirt poor.

Tribute.ca spoke with Sharlto in Los Angeles about playing the bad guy, why it works so well with him and Blomkamp, and how he is dealing with his success in Hollywood.
