Vin Diesel, yes, the guy from THE PACIFIER, is finally trying to break out of his children's PG movie mold by, get this- playing a ex-veteran mercenary who takes a dangerous job in which he must escort a gorgeous young woman from Mother Russia to Father China in a futuristic BLADE RUNNER-esque world. Strangely enough, the woman is special. No, she isn't the only pregnant female in a infertile population, she is actually host to an organism that a cult direly wants to produce it's own genetically engineered version of the Messiah. Wicked. So ya, the trailer is actually really fun and impressive and looks to be a great watch. Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, who I believe was in Spielberg's MUNICH, also directed the only film that has made Penelope Cruz look unattractive, GOTHIKA.
But this, BABYLON A.D. does look very...exciting. The trailer looks like a futuristic version of THE TRANSPORTER complete with bald headed protagonist, mixed with a CHILDREN OF MEN-ish plotline with REQUIEM FOR A DREAM soundtrack, yes it does look intense indeed. Don't take my word for it though, here's the trailer from IGN. Baw siÄ™ dobrze.
