Elysium and it was Matt Damon. I suspect it will be something close to that. Earth will be the shit hole and they will build some sort of orbiting satellite housing platform for those whom can afford to leave.
Then again.. it's probably easier to instead build a sheltered city underground or under water here on Earth as even if we turn this planet to shit, we would still have a better chance here in some sort of protective environment than out in space or on a second planet with no atmosphere.
The biggest thing a second colony on a place like Mars would do, is make sure we all can't be wiped out by a killer asteroid or perhaps a nuclear war..
