Reading the plot synopsis at first made me think it sounded awesome. Then reading about the source material it seems more like a bastardized version with no ties, save for the name and main character, to the source material, much like Wanted. That is a disappointment because though I have not read the books, they sound awesome and I am going to have to look for them.
I'm not sure what to expect from this...I'll have to see a trailer.
I have not read the books but at least they are rounding it out with a solid cast. Paul Bettany, Brad Dourif, and Christopher Plummer are fine actors in my book. This looks interesting enough. More than anything, the cast entices me.
I did read these books and am terribly disappointed in what its become.
What it should have been.............
"In the frontier of the American west, a veil of evil threatens to engulf humanity. Servants of the fallen archangel Temozarela are paving the way for their dark lord’s resurrection.
One man stands in the way of the apocalypse—Ivan Isaacs—a fallen priest who sold his soul to the devil Belial for the power to fight evil. Armed with a wicked blade and silver bullets, Ivan will give the heretics a baptism of blood in his pilgrimage for humanity’s redemption."
I really wish Hollywood would leave stuff like this alone and continue churning out the crap remakes they like so much.
this movie sounds super lame!
Paul Bettany is a beast
cast is startin to look major badass
agreed. cast intrigues me
just caught him in the legion trailer 2
Paul is magnificent. Agreed thoroughly.
yeah and Karl Urban is a great choice. wasn't steven strait from covenant supposed to be in this? karl urban as the baddy; i'm starting to REALLY get into this guy as an actor
what character is dourif playin
Urban was great in Lord Of The Rings and Star Trek. Yes very true.
Yeah and Bettany as someone who matches up against him is a great choice
LOVE Cam
