I hope this turns into a moronic punch kick bash shoot film. I think diesel does a great job at those and they are fun to watch. It is when movies like this try to take themselves to seriously and send some message they get convoluted and miss out on being a good action flick. I go to the movies for action, fun. I read to learn, and experience life to learn deeper meaning. Stop acting like you come out a changed man from any action flick.

pls highlight michelle yeoh. she will be the biggest selling point for this movie at least in asia. who the hell does not know michelle yeoh in asia? when come to kick-ass, even vin got to stand a side to watch michelle. she is even to jackie & jet…

wish Kassovitz & his team can play smart this time. not just to market the movie with vin. pls emphasize michelle who is the box office number 1 in asia…

I swear Im going to start a company that does nothing but create post apocalyptic New York street scenes.

I will have job security forever.

Hard to tell just what this film will be like from this lame ass teaser.

Great to see Michelle Yeoh in so many movies these days…loved her in Sunshine. Will be seeing this one most likely.

This has potential.

Hopefully it doesn’t turn into a moronic punch/kick/jump off of stuff-athon.

@ Chromey
Babylon A.D. bares a helluva lot more resemblance to the slick Hollywood stylings of Gothika than the gritty and personal Le Haine, that’s why. Just because a director made a memorable indie many years ago doesn’t mean the film needs to be mentioned in a piece about his latest mainstream movie…with Vin Diesel.

That teaser was just awful. Not only did it not tell you a damn thing about the movie it didn’t really show you anything other than random fast shots. Dumb.

Kassovitz also directed a great movie called HATE (LA HAINE) and a pretty damn good one called CRIMSON RIVERS so why be snarky with the Gothika reference. I’m rooting for this to be good. But that trailer did nothing for me. Still hoping for the best though. I miss dystopic futuristic action movies.

I have one word for you: BLADE

I have high hopes for this movie and have read everything piece of blog buzz I can get my hands on for it. That said, I feel this movie is one of those “never heard of it”. I’ve mentioned this movie to several of my friends, some of who are total sciophiles, and they’ve never heard of it. I feel this movie needs a ton more buzz to be big, since 95% of the general public has no clue what its about or ever heard of it. IMDB doesn’t even offer more than one sentence for its plot synopsis.

If word reaches your average joe that the European version is much longer that might anger the U.S. fans as well. I figured the internet geeks already expressed their disappointment.

NOTE: August? Cmon especially the last week. From the middle of August to the end of October = the elephant graveyard for movie time. Anything that comes out then either sucks or has low appeal. If this movie was just slotted wrong then I’ll be good. But my hopes kinda dwindle given previous movie performances at that time of the year.

An actual trailer debuting during Dark Knight would be a perfect place for this movie to gain tons and tons of buzz.

The plot synopsis for this seems like a dumbed down “Children of Men” The beginning of the teaser just reinforced that feeling.

@skaught

Most teasers don’t tell you mostly what its about. Which is why its called a teaser. I don’t think Ive ever seen a teaser that has much on the story. Just gives a taste of the movie.

The poster looks like a mash up of the opening sequence of Metal Gear Solid 2:Sons of Liberty and Bruce’s character in Unbreakable.

Got this trailer through the BAD Myspace site the other day, and I’m with most everyone else.

You too can be cool if you’ll shave your head, wear a rain-slicked poncho and scowl into the camera. W00t!

I saw this the first time when it was called Pitch Black… and then I saw it again when it was called XXX…

Couldn’t care less
