Exclusive Poster: Vin Diesel's Babylon A.D.
October 18, 2007
by Alex Billington
Wrapping up our brief coverage here in Orlando at ShowEast, we bring you an exclusive look at the teaser poster for Vin Diesel's upcoming sci-fi movie Babylon A.D. I'm sure there are a few of you who are expecting this to be another terrible Vin Diesel film, but this poster is purely badass. Although the version below isn't the highest quality, seeing this thing lit up from behind and live in person, I can tell you it looks wonderful. Something about the colors and close-up of his face and the sci-fi look of it.
Veteran-turned-mercenary Thoorop (Diesel) 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. There has not been a teaser trailer for the film yet, just a few production photos.
Babylon A.D. is directed by French filmmaker Mathieu Kassovitz, who also directed 2003's Gothika. The film hits theaters on Leap Day next year, February 29th, 2008.

[...] Alex has the first poster for the Vin Diesel sci-fi flick Babylon A.D. He likes it but I’m kind of indifferent. I think there’s too much of an overt effort to ape Blade Runner. [...]

[...] Alex at FirstShowing has scored the poster for Vin Diesel’s upcoming sci-fi movie Babylon A.D. I know, I know, it’s Vin Diesel, and you probably don’t care, but the poster looks kinda bad ass (but not completely bad ass). [...]

Wow, they really spared no expense on the logo. Gotta love those cheap, easily-available, over-used fonts!

[...] Do you remember back in the day? Back when Vin Diesel was making films like Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick? Back then he was on the verge of being cool with the fanboy population. Then he made films like xXx and The Pacifier and we all lost hope. Still, the thought alone of Diesel headlining a Babylon A.D. flick was enough to pique the interest of some. But then again, once you combine the fact that there were tons of production problems with the following poster, it’s back to the world of pain and frustration . Take a look at the new poster below, courtesy of First Showing’s ShowEast coverage. [...]
