New Stills Released From Neil Blomkamp’s ‘Elysium’

Following the release of yesterday’s phenomenal trailer, a new batch of images from Neil Blomkamp’s Elysium have made their way online. Neil Blomkamp had his feature-length directorial debut with 2009’s District 9, and was long attached to helm the now-defunt Halo film.

Elysium looks fantastic, and I can’t wait to see what Blomkamp and his team have to show us. Check out the images below, and let us know what you think. Elysium hits theatres on 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.
