Matt Damon Sports Futuristic Hardware In New ELYSIUM Poster
Summer of 2009, fans of science-fiction films were blown away by Neill Blomkamp's directorial debut, District 9. And now they eagerly await his next film, Elysium, which stars Matt Damon. The first trailer for the film will arrive tomorrow!
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.
ELYSIUM is an upcoming science fiction film written and directed by Neill Blomkamp ("District 9"). The film stars Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Wagner Moura, Alice Braga and Carly Pope. It opens in theaters August 9th, 2013.
