Watch: 2 New Featurettes & TV Spots For ELYSIUM, Opening Next Month

We already shared one awesome featurette from Neill Blomkamp‘s upcoming movie (where you had a chance to check out that luxurious space habitat, remember?), now it’s time for a behind the scenes look at the fascinating Elysium technology. Head inside to find the latest videos and let us know what you think!

Written and directed by Blomkamp, Elysium is set to hit theaters on August 9th, 2013, and in case you forgot – the movie takes place on both a ravaged Earth and a high-tech utopian space station.

The citizens of Elysium live a life of luxury which includes access to private medical machines that offer instant cures, while the citizens of the Earth struggle to survive on a daily basis and are desperate to escape the planet.

But all that will change thanks to:

Max De Costa, 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 and her hard-line forces. If he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.

Beside Matt Damon who plays the above mentioned Max, and Jodie Foster who stars as Secretary Delacourt, the rest of the cast includes Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, Diego Luna, William Fichtner and Wagner Moura.

In case you’ve missed our previous reports, we definitely recommend you to check out the latest trailer, another TV spot, more images and posters for this sci-fi spectacle.
