First Trailer for Elysium
by 
The first trailer has arrived for the highly anticipated upcoming sci-fi action film Elysium. This is the first project for director Neill Blomkamp since debuting with District 9 in 2009. Starring Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, and Sharlto Copley Elysium is slated to release on August 9.
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.
