2013 has being a great year for science fiction so far, and the quality is set to continue with long awaited follow-up to 2009's District 9, Elysium. With it's class war amongst the stars premise, and a fantastic cast including Matt Damon, Sharlto Copely, and Jodie Foster, it will definitely be one to watch out for. Sony Pictures have given us another look at the movie, with this new still of Copely and Damon in the midst of battle.
Synopsis: 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, a 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 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.
