Here’s The Trailer For ‘Elysium’ – The Sci-Fi Film Matt Damon Is Doing With Neill Blomkamp (District 9) [VIDEO]

The sci-fi movie Elysium is set for release in August with Matt Damon starring in the lead role. This is the official trailer from the famed director of Dirstict 9, Neill Blomkamp.

Hollywood actor Matt Damon is starring in the sci-fi movie Elysium directed by South African director Neill Blomkamp. Blomkamp directed the 2009 sci-fi movie District 9 and that is what garnered the attention of Damon. Damon will play the lead role of Max. Damon said:

The big appeal was Neill. I saw District 9 and flipped out like everybody else. I had my eye on him as somebody that I wanted to work with and then the next thing he was doing suddenly came my way, so it was a really easy decision for me.

I love [sci-fi] but there aren’t many sci-fi movies that have come out while I’ve been around that have been great. There was The Matrix, obviously, but I never got a shot at that. They’re the funnest movies as a moviegoer to see, so I’d been looking for one but just nothing had come around.

The movie is set in a futuristic world. The wealthy live in a paradise in space while the remainder of the population live on Earth where they are policed by robots.

Elysium is set for release in theatres on 9 August 2013.
