Excitement for writer/director Neill Blompkamp’s sci-fi thriller ELYSIUM was given more than a little lift when the superb trailer debuted online earlier this week, along with the first poster, great new stills and the official website launch. Matt Damon headlines as a man who volunteers to bring equality to the planet in a future that sees the rich living a life of luxury on a man-made space station in the sky, while the rest of the population reside on a ruined Earth, starving and desperate.
Check out these two new images from the film co-starring Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Wagner Moura, Alice Braga and Carly Pope. It opens in US theatres from the 9th August and the 20th September in the UK.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
