Two New Images from Neill Blomkamp’s ELYSIUM Featuring Matt Damon & Alice Braga
Two new images from Neill Blomkamp’s (District 9) upcoming sci-fi thriller ELYSIUM have been released. Set in the year 2159, where the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth, a man (Damon) takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds.
As part of their recently launched viral campaign, the studio will unveil new footage to residents in four cities worldwide on April 8. Four cities … thanks a lot. Elysium is my second most anticipated film of the year, right behind Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity, and I really can’t wait to see the first trailer that will be released next Tuesday. Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Wagner Moura, and William Fichtner also star. Elysium opens August 9th.
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.
