Red Band Trailer for Legion

Red Band Trailer for Legion

Hearing from April about her review of the Movie which she got to see during Comic Con. Her review is here. And after seeing this Red Band Trailer. I am getting very excited for this movie. Now if only January was closer. I guess this trailer will have to do for now.

The human race has messed up so bad that God sends his angels down to Earth to start an Apocalypse. The archangel Michael (Paul Bettany) does against God, cutting off his wings, and joins a band of strangers in a diner fighting to save the human race. One of those in the diner is a pregnant waitress who turns out to be carrying the savior to the human race.

The trailer starts out with Doug Jones (Abe Sapien from Hell Boy and the Silver Surfer from Fantastic Four) as a very creepy ice cream man. This is a different role for Doug Jones since you actually get to see his face. During the Q & A he was asked if it felt liberating to do a movie without the masks and extensive make-up. He replied that it was a bit like the difference between going out in a sweater and a speedo. He was been going out in the sweater for a while now and all of the sudden he is out there in a speedo. He was worried about looking alright as would anyone out in a speedo.

Director Scott Stewart noted that there was a lot of story to tell that he couldn’t all fit into the movie so there will be a 4 part graphic novel coming out in the fall that will cover the back story to the movie. It was also noted that Paul Bettany’s body is covered in tattoos in the movie and that these tattoos have specific meaning to the story.
