While we’ve had a few trailers and the first clip debut recently, Sony is also ensuring that fans can get into the behind the scenes aspect of the film Elysium prior to its debut on August 9th. The two new featurettes that have debuted brings us a look at the technology that exists in this particular time and place as well as a general look of the world as well. The film brings Blomkamp back to the science fiction side of things after District 9 and also stars Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, Wagner Moura, Diego Luna and William Fichtner.
Plot Concept: 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.
