ELYSIUM is Neill Blomkamp’s follow-up to the tremendous DISTRICT 9 and we’ve got a little treat for you with the first image of a shaven Matt Damon (WE BOUGHT A ZOO) wielding a tremendous weapon and arm-cast type thingy (if anyone knows pass it on). Along with this we have the official synopsis which we broke last week replicated for your reading pleasure:
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 of?cial, 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 released 1st March next year and also stars Jodie Foster, William Fichtner and Diego Luna.
