First Look At Matt Damon In ELYSIUM

Three things we know about District 9 director Neill Blomkamp's upcoming Elysium: Matt Damon is bald, he wears some sort of exo-skeleton suit, and he's got one big ass gun. Actually, we know this, too:

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.
