As we told you last week, the first trailer for Elyisum will be released tomorrow. Ahead of the trailer premiere, Sony has just released the first poster for the movie.

“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 (Jodie Foster), a hard the 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 (Matt Damon) 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.”

Elysium was directed by District 9's Neill Blomkamp and stars Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Diego Luna, Alice Braga, and William Fichtner. The movie will be released to theaters on August 9th. To check out the first photos from the movie, visit: http://dailydead.com/new-photos-from-neill-blomkamps-elysium/
