    Here is trailer #3 for Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster. Most of the footage has already been seen in the previous two, but the new small snippets are still worth watching. You do get some exciting new shots of Matt Damon and Sharlto Copley playing human mech action figures and that alone should sell you on a ticket.

    Elysium releases on August 8th.

    Here is the new trailer for Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium with a ton of new footage. The trailer actually begins on a humorous note which is a nice surprise before all the drama, exploding things and part-cybernetic Matt Damon. We also find out the true situation for Damon’s rush to get to the favored city in the sky. Blomkamp is obviously sticking very close to the social issues he brought up in District 9.

    Elysium releases on August 9th.

    How exactly do you follow up your first film which happened to be nominated for Best Picture? You get Matt Damon and Jodie Foster to star in your second sci-fi epic of course.

    Elysium takes place in the year 2154 where the rich and privileged live on board a floating utopia named…you guessed it, Elysium. Matt Damon stars as Max Coburn, an ex-con that lives on the ruined shambles of Earth with the rest of the sick and poor. He has a plan to infiltrate Elysium to find the medical care he needs to save his life. To do this he is outfitted with a robotic device that connects to his spine and connects to his arms giving him super strength.

    I will go ahead and say that, personally, I was not the biggest fan of District 9. I thought it was a pretty good movie, but couldn’t heap all the praise on it that was given. I am decidedly more excited about Elysium.

    Check out the first trailer for the huge sci-fi film below. Elysium releases on August 9th.
