Yep, Vin is back in Sci-Fi mode and above is the international poster for his new movie, Babylon A.D. The poster tells you absolutely nothing about the movie apart from the fact Vin and the French looking woman look like giants compared to the bit of cityscape behind them!
A veteran-turned-mercenary (Vin Diesel) agrees to escort a woman from Russia to
Germany, not realizing that she's the host for an organism that a cult wants to
harvest into a genetically-modified Messiah. Based on the novel by Maurice G.
Dantec.
So no giants mentioned there. Damn misleading film posters and their false promises of giants. When was the last time we had a giant in a movie (apart from most Terry Gilliam movies - even when they don't have a giant they always feel as if there is one just off camera). The plot sounds a bit like Children of Men with a bit of The Fifth Element thrown in.
Apart from Vin, the film stars Gerard Depardieu, Michelle Yeoh, Charlotte Rampling, Mark Strong, Radek Bruna, Melanie Thierry and Lambert Wilson. Some good actors and action stars in there so it may be worth watching.
Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz (who starred in Munich) for 20th Century Fox from a script by Eric Besnard.
