New Trailer for 'Elysium,' Now with More Robots!

by Caroline Pate

I know utopian fantasies gone wrong are all the rage right now, but guys, this one has everything. Bald android Matt Damon! Jodie Foster as a super elitist space president who really hates illegal space immigrants! Frightening bureaucratic robots! Matt Damon doing a sarcastic robot voice! Police robot brutality! Lasers, because duh, lasers!

Oh, and did I mention that this one that this is from writer-director Neill Blomkamp, who created District 9? I mean, it's set in 2149 and its got a major class-warfare vibe going on, so even if it turns out to be terrible, at the very least it will be interesting. You can see bald Matt Damon invade Jodie Foster's fancy people spaceship when this sci-fi action flick hits theaters August 9.
