TriStar Pictures and Media Rights Capital have released the first official trailer for Elysium, director Neil Blomkamp’s eagerly anticipated follow-up to his acclaimed 2009 feature film debut District 9. The film stars Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, William Fichtner, Diego Luna, Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga and Ona Grauer.

Set in the year 2159, Elysium is a man-made space station where the wealthy live prosperous, crime and disease free lives far above the earth, where the poor are left to die in squalor. In dire need of medical care, working-man Max (Damon) sets out to infiltrate Elysium and overthrow Secretary Delacourt (Foster).
