Sony’s “Elysium” Switches Around Some Websites for Viral Campaign Dan Koelsch, April 10, 2013April 25, 2013 With 5 months to go until the film’s theatrical release, it looks like Sony is finally going to do something with this puttering viral campaign for Elysium. While there aren’t technically any new websites to report on, there have been some changes worth noting. Get the details after the break.
