Entertainment Weekly just released this photo of Matt Damon in Neill Blomkamp‘s latest film Elysium. This is the first official photo we have seen from the film and also gives us a cool look at the technology and guns that we can expect to see too.
Elysium is Blomkamps first film since his highly successful District 9. While we havent seen a lot regarding the film, we do know that it will have a panel at Comic-Con and will probably result in us seeing the first trailer for the film.
Here is a brief synopisis for the film:
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
Elysium is set for release on March 1, 2013 and also stars Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Wagner Moura, Alice Braga and Diego Luna
