Maybe I was mistaken after seeing the trailers for Vin Diesel’s upcoming “Babylon A.D.”, but it sure didn’t look like a glitzy sci-fi actioner to me. Well that’s probably what the powers that be are selling to the Russian people — a slick sci-fi movie where Vin Diesel saves the world with a cute girl in one arm. Or something like that. Anyways, here’s another international (Russian) poster for “Babylon A.D.” I think it’s okay, but nothing extraordinary.
Veteran-turned-mercenary Thoorop takes the high-risk job of escorting a woman 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.
Starring Vin Diesel, Mélanie Thierry, Michelle Yeoh, Lambert Wilson, Mark Strong, Jérôme Le Banner, Charlotte Rampling, and Gérard Depardieu. Frenchman Mathieu Kassovitz directs.
Get A.D.dicted August 29.
