Neill Blompkamp’s ELYSIUM has to be one of the last remaining hotly anticipated movies of the summer. We’ve actually seen the film here at The Hollywood News, and you can expect to see our full review in due course, but to whet your appetite for the sci-fi actioner, we’ve sought out this brand new featurette that has debuted overnight over at Moviefone.
In the year 2154, 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 planet. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the crime and poverty that is now rampant throughout the land. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission – one that pits him against Elysium’s Secretary Delacourt (Foster) and her hard-line forces – but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.
ELYSIUM stars Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, Diego Luna and William Fichtner, and is released in the UK on the 21st August, and in the US a little earlier on 9th August.
