Neill Blomkamp‘s ‘Elysium’ Trailer with Matt Damon

Here’s the debut trailer for Neill Blomkamp‘s Elysium starring Matt Damon, Jodie FosterSharlto CopleyWagner Moura, and Alice Braga. Blomkamp previously directed the surprise hit District 9, which I was a huge fan of, so naturally I’m very excited about his next foray into science fiction.

Elysium is set to hit theaters August 9th, hit the jump for the trailer provided by Yahoo and the synopsis.

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.
