Sony Debuts The Trailer For Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Elysium’

Following the release of the first poster for the film, Sony has debuted the trailer for Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium starring Matt Damon. I’ve seen over ten minutes of footage from the film directed by the District 9 director and it looks gre….you know what. Just watch the trailer below and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

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 set to hit theaters August 9, 2013
