While some of the footage in this new trailer for Elysium was in the first trailer released, there is a lot of new content, and from what I hear, they have yet to show us anything from the film’s third act! How cool is that?

I’ve been very excited for director Neill Blomkamp’s next movie ever since the credits for District 9 stopped rolling, so to see it come together so well is awesome to see. This is going to be the big movie of the summer for the hardcore sci-fi nerds, and could wind up being the best movie of the summer, period.  At the least, the response to the future-set class warfare should be interesting to gauge in audiences, especially in a post Occupy world.

Elysium, starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster, hits theaters on August 9th.
