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…
