If you need a bit of a sci-fi pick up today then this new gun toting clip from upcoming thriller ‘Elysium’ should appease. Matt Damon (‘The Bourne Identity’) gets caught up in a futuristic gun fight in this latest clip from the Neill Blomkamp helmed epic which sees Damon escaping the overpopulated Earth in the year 2159 to head for the space station ‘Elysium’ in order to bring equality to all. Sharlto Copley (‘Europa Report’), Jodie Foster (‘Silence of the Lambs), William Fichtner (‘Drive Angry’), Michael Shanks (‘Saving Hope’), Alice Braga (‘I Am Legend’), Diego Luna, Talisa Soto and Carly Pope all co-star. Check out the new clip below.
“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. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the planet’s crime and poverty, and they critically need the state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium – but some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens’ luxurious lifestyle. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt 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 (Jodie 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’ arrives in the US on 9 August and in the UK on 20 September.
