One of the things I didn’t actually report on in the madness of Comic-Con last month was the footage Sony unveiled for the upcoming religious horror flick “Legion,” starring Paul Bettany as an avenging angel of sorts assisting a stranded group of truck-stoppers after a legion of angels, having lost faith in humanity, descends upon the earth to bring about the apocalypse.
Sounds absurd. I know. But the trailer and footage they showed was so totally creepy and piqued my interest so that I made a mental “gotta check that out” note. A horror movie that effectively pits God as the villain? Sweet. Plus, I have a thing for Adrianne Palicki. What red-blooded hetero bloke doesn’t?
Anyway, the red band trailer is online now. Obviously not Oscar related in the slightest, but take a look after the jump and offer up your thoughts. The opening bit with Doug Jones is totally creepy, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the old lady later on…well, just check it out for yourself…

A thousand times yes.
Wow. Paul Bettany doing kick-ass! He’s one of the best Brit actors around. And that old lady was just plain spectacular.
Holy cow.
Looks cool but angels dying from bullets…
This looks pretty awesome but also kinda retarded, sorta like how 30 days of night looked. that bit with the lady is the most awesome thing though thats for sure
Just WOW!!! Everyone should see this trailer!! It’s more exciting than the majority of movies coming out these days.
It’s not that creepy, it loses that creepy luster when it becomes the typical action movie halfway. But I am definitely seeing, glad it’s being released in January. Usually a shortage of good films at that time. Looking forward to it
LOOKS. FUCKING. AMAZING.
And I may be the only one but Evil Granny looks freakin’ terrifying.
[…] girl, head on over to In Contention and take a gander at the trailer for the upcoming thriller Legion. Yikes. Share and […]
Evil granny = stupid and not scary.
