Sony Releases First Poster For Neil Blomkamp’s ‘Elysium’

Sony has released the first poster for Neil Blomkamp’s Elysium starring Matt Damon. The first trailer for the film from the District 9 director is set to hit tomorrow. Footage from the film was shown at a special screening earlier today and all I’m going to say is that you have every reason to be excited about this one.

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
