14 DAY TRIAL // Matt Damon is bringing back the fierce and the dangerous. Above is the first shot of him in character for Neill Blomkamp's new film, “Elysium” – click to enlarge.
The photo first emerged in Entertainment Weekly, and was scanned by The Playlist.
The e-zine notes this is the first hint we get of Blomkamp's new film, which has been kept tightly under wraps so far.
“Set in 2159, Damon plays a man who takes on a daunting mission in a world where the very wealthy live on the pristine, man-made space station called Elysium, and fight to keep the citizens of Earth from illegally immigrating. Political subtext!” The Playlist writes.
Damon stars opposite Sharlto Copley, Jodie Foster, William Fichtner, Diego Luna, Alice Braga and Wagner Moura. The film will be out in March 2013.
