Babylon A.D. Movie Trailer, New Movie Poster
They’re really playing up the dystopian poncho fashion with the new poster and teaser trailer for the perma-loomingVin Dieselsci-fi vehicleBabylon A.D.Might the eventual tagline be “Thisway latesummer, put on your poncho as we journey into a future where anything can happen and it rainsa lot”? You’ll find out nothing about the film’s plot from this hyper-edited clip, but the ambiance/marketing equation seems to beBlade Runner+Children of Men/xXx= “serious Vin Diesel action” from the mind of directorMathieu Kassovitzwho brought AmericaGothika. That said, after last month’s barrage, seconds of anything that isn’tIron Manlooksslightly interestingmildly original. Here’s the Slashfilm synopsis…
Veteran-turned-mercenary Thoorop (Diesel) takes the high-risk job of escorting a woman (Mélanie Thierry) from Russia to China. Little does he know that she is host to an organism that a cult wants to harvest in order to produce a genetically modified Messiah. Based on the French novel by Maurice G. Dantec, who was strongly influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche, Philip K. Dick and punk rock. The film also co-stars Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Sunshine) as a nun.
