Just two days away from the release of director Neill Blomkamp‘s latest action sci-fi adventure, Elysium, Machinima now has a new red-band clip from the Sony/Tristar release. The clip is literally an explosive look into what sci-fi fans can expect from Blomkamp’s latest work of art since debuting the unexpected 2009 sci-fi masterpiece, District 9, with childhood friend and lead actor, Sharlto Copley.

Based on several TV spots and clips I have seen, I can already tell that Copley will have brought his A-game as he is truly turning into one of Hollywood’s most bankable actors of the new millenium as of late. This, in addition to starring opposite actor Matt Damon playing a bio-suited armor-wearing freedom fighter, and actress Jodie Foster playing an intergalactic dragonlady with her own space planet and the weapons necessary to destroy anything attempting to get close to it, are sure to make Elysium the hit it will become once it is released on August 9, 2013.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am going to see this movie, and that is a fact I can live with.

Elysium also stars Alice Braga, Diego Luna, Wagner Moura and William Fichtner.

SYNOPSIS:

In the year 2154, 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 planet. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the crime and poverty that is now rampant throughout the land. 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.
