Elysium

An original costume used in the production of Elysium, the 2013 science fiction picture directed by Neill Blomkamp.

This costume and HULC exoskeleton were designed and fabricated by noted effects house Weta Workshop and worn by Matt Damon as Max. The costume comprises of production distressed shirt and jeans with modified Adidas brand trainers to include the addition of armour, these each hand inscribed with the character name 'MAX' in pen and custom made armoured gloves. The complex HULC exoskeleton is entirely custom made largely from flexible rubber with some metal components and covers the chest, back arms and legs, this intricately designed and connected by a series of bolts and attached to the body via a spandex under shirt and shorts which feature numerous fixing points.

The costume and exoskeleton remain in generally very good intentionally distressed condition, the latter lacking some of the connecting bolts but essentially complete and exhibiting minor wear from use during the production.

A fine example of principal character wardrobe from this well received science fiction picture.
