District 9 is probably the best science fiction film in recent times, which is why it's no surprise that directlor Neill Blomkamp's next sci-fi Elysium starring stalwarts Matt Damon and Jodie Foster is so eagerly anticipated. The first look poster of this hot summer release was unveiled recently and we have it for you right here.

In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on an immaculate man-made space station that is disguised as a massive floating city called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth.

It is left to one man on Earth to take on a dangerous mission to Elysium , in order to bring equality to mankind and not only save his own life, but millions of other lives too.

Also featuring Sharlto Copley (District 9, The A Team), Wagner Moura, Alice Braga and Carly Pope, Elysium releases on 9 August 2013.
