Web Exclusive! Sneak Peek At Babylon A.d.!

News Tuesday, August 26 by Captain



We've been tracking Vin Diesel's latest Sci Fi extravaganza and the kind people at Fox have managed to slip us a sneak peek at Babylon AD, releasing in Oz on October 2.



Star and director take a break from blowing up the future.


For those who haven't cottoned on yet, the Matthieu Kassovitz directed film goes a little something like this:

"A mercenary is hired to deliver a “package” – an innocent young woman raised in a monastery – from the ravages of a post-apocalyptic landscape of Eastern Europe to a destination in the teeming megalopolis of New York City. But this is hardly a typical job for the hardened gun-for-hire. As he, the young woman, and her fearsome guardian make the 6,000-mile trek, they are threatened by a religious sect that has taken a special interest in the woman – who may hold the secret to mankind’s salvation."



You want me to stick it where?


Michelle Yeoh, Gerard Depardieu and Charlotte Rampling also star in what looks to be a very Euro Sci Fi outing, without the brassy wall-to-wall hype that usually comes with this sort of thing.

So, please to enjoy these subtle, delicate moments from our exclusive Babylon AD scene, in SPECTRUM, click here



Now, once we make it through the paparazzi, up the red carpet, and into the theatre, we should be fine!

BABYLON AD

Is Babylon AD dystopian Sci Fi at its best, joining the ranks of Children of Men and Bladerunner? Or is it of the 'not quite' variety, more Chronicles of Riddick than Pitch Black? Is Vin Diesel still the King? What do you think? For the trailer in SCI FI SPECTRUM click here. For the lowdown on the B.A.D. info, check out SCI FI PI click here.
