Exclusive Poster: Vin Diesel's Babylon A.D.

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.

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