Film Preview: Elysium

Matt Damon goes from being a gay partner to Liberace with superbly manicured hair in Behind the Candelabra to big machine gun toting skinhead in Elysium, certainly trying to prove that he can play a variety of roles. Jodie Foster plays the supporting role and the main antagonist in the movie. The director is Neill Blomkamp who rose to prominence with his film District 9 and some of same themes and motifs are expected to run through this more action packed movie.

Set in the year 2154, the very wealthy live in paradise on a spaceship whilst the poor are left on what is left of Earth in its ruined state. Max Da Costa (Matt Damon) decides that the worlds should be equal so starts a mission to invade the spaceship to get state of the art medicine that many of the people on Earth need.

Elysium is released in the UK on 23rd August and the trailer is embedded below:
