First Look: Paul Bettany as Michael in Scott Stewart's Legion
July 21, 2009

by Alex Billington
When the last angel falls, the fight for mankind begins. Out of all the movies on the line-up at Comic-Con, there was only one that I found that I had never heard of before - Legion. It has an impressive cast - Dennis Quaid, Paul Bettany, Doug Jones, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Durand, Kate Walsh - and is directed by first-time feature filmmaker Scott Stewart, a former visual effects artist from The Orphanage (which shut down last year). It seems like it could be awesome, but we haven't seen anything yet. However, thanks to Maximum PC, we have our first look at a banner from Comic-Con and it looks exactly as I expected it would - badass!
Having lost faith in the human race, a legion of angels descend to Earth to bring about the Apocalypse. Humanity's only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner and the Archangel Michael himself (Paul Bettany). I have a feeling this is going to be one of those very stylized, highly visual movies that involves a lot of CGI. But considering it's coming from a former CGI artist, it'll look incredible, and this first look proves that. I mean, just seeing Paul Bettany as angel is awesome. But as the Archangel Michael with a knife and an MP5, now that is badass! The official website also just launched: legionmovie.com.

Badly shooped in gun appearing on Photoshop Disasters in 3.. 2..
Seriously, if you're going to make your banner 30 feet tall, get someone other than your brother Larry's kid who knows them computers to edit the thing. I know badly 'shopped posters are pretty much the norm these days, but that's just jarring.

because of that gun this poster is totally a "Moon Raper".
maybe the movie will be sweet, but this poster is unbelievably cheesy.

I didn't know movie posters could "jump the shark". Movie sounds alright, nice cast and a story with angels and apocalypse…I'll give it a shot until a teaser or trailer shows me more shark jumping.

Castiel just needs to tap you in the forehead to send your ass to hell, or heaven.

I think this sounds promising. It will be interesting to see what kind of attention Bettany gets as Darwin in Creation….he could very well be a bigger star by the time this is released. He certainly is not afraid of stirring up Christian controversy!

Can you imagine this guy flying around shooting his gun at stuff? That'd be a pretty funny sight. An angel with a fucking machine gun?!?! hilarious!

If he really wanted to be a badass he'd run around with an M-240B. There isn't much you can't get done while one arming a 240B.
