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.


And here is the domestic version of the trailer:




Directed by Neill Blomkamp, and starring Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, Wagner Moura, Diego Luna and William Fichtner, Elysium is set to hit theatres on August 9, 2013.

Yum Wagner Moura. He could get a real career in Hollywood if he got rid of the accent. And this looks awesome. I just hope it's not one of those really great movies that will scar me for life
