Dennis Quaid

Here's your opportunity to kill Legion before it dies at the box office January 22, 2010. I'm talking about killing angels and demons in a new online game which pits you as a fallen angel, out to save a diner waitress and her unborn child from possessed enemies. Her baby is the Messiah, so maybe you can pray to it that the movie won't suck completely.

Legion is directed by Scott Stewart and stars Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Adrianne Palicki, Charles Dutton, and Doug Jones. I'll probably still see the film because there's nothing wrong with a biblical-action-comedy and Kevin Durand and Paul Bettany give hot angel on angel action.

You can play the kill happy game here and check out Legion's website for a closer look at the film.

Moviefone is hosting a new, exclusive clip (embedded conveniently below) that takes a peek inside the deep space paranoia of Overture Film's upcoming sci-fi/horror chimera, Pandorum. Don't worry, there's nothing spoilery found within, just a pusher's taste of the fears to be found aboard an inexplicably abandoned spaceship.

Personally, I don't know why Dennis Quaid finds Cam Gigandet's character to be so untrustworthy. He's only laying down the not-at-all maddening symptoms of the titular space...disease. Then again, maybe Quaid has already seen whatever weirdness is going on in that poster to the right. If that's the case, I sure as hell wouldn't trust anyone, either.

When the red-band trailer for Legion appeared online, the responses ranged from "What the hell?" to "How can angels go bad?" to "I don't like the look of that at all." All the footage is very dark, demonic, and confusing and we have to wait until January 2010 to figure out why all hell (or heaven) seems to be breaking loose.

But guess what! You don't have to wait that long if you're insanely curious about it. IDW Publishing announced that Scott Stewart and Tom Waltz have penned a four issue miniseries that will serve as a prequel to Stewart's upcoming holy war. Legion: Prophets will introduce you to the Theologians, the Guardian, the Codebreaker and the Voice, five very different and unlikely individuals who become humanity's only hope in surviving the Apocalypse. (Here we thought it all rested on the well-built shoulders of the ex-angelic Paul Bettany.) "There were a lot of cool and scary characters and situations that I wasn't able to include in the main narrative of the movie, so I'm very excited to be able to expand the Legion universe beyond the film and explore those other stories through the comic book series," says Stewart.

Legion: Prophets hits comic store shelves in November, just in time for the holidays and to make you look a little askance at the angels glittering on every holiday decoration. If you're still into the movie after reading the paper prequel, Legion comes to the big screen on January 22, 2010.

What do you get when you mix together a demonic ice cream truck driver, a fallen angel, an old woman with a set of piranha teeth, Dennis Quaid and the end of the world? No, it's not The Day After The Day After Tomorrow, it's Sony's apocalyptic horror/action hybrid, Legion. Now, thanks to MySpace, we've got our first look at the film and it's uh, well, it's something alright.

Let's just say I'm oddly happy to see the B movie is still alive in Hollywood. I'm sure Sony would be glad to never have Legion called a B movie, but sometimes a cigarello is just a cigarello (Get it? Because they couldn't afford actual cigars. Zing!). The whole production is comprised of talent that's not quite reached the top of its pay grade and it shows in the age restricted trailer below. But that is not a condemnation. There is nothing inherently wrong with a B movie.

There may, however, be something inherently wrong when a movie features a wall climbing gag this visually outdated. Oh well, it's still early. Legion doesn't come out until January 22, 2010. Here's to hoping some of that CGI is re-rendered before then.

Looking at the filmography of Impact Pictures one can't help but notice an affinity for making horror movies that pit humans in a confined space with something, well, not so human. Joining the barracks of the Resident Evil series, AVP, and Event Horizon is Christian Alvert's space bound enigma Pandorum, starring Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster (who stole the show as the doom bringer in 30 Days of Night).

It must suck to wake up alone on a spaceship with no memory of who you are or why the barren hulk of steel built to hold 60,000 you're floating in now only holds a handful of people running from what looks like a handful of once-people. Yet these are the woes of Quaid and Foster in the new trailer for their Sci-fi / horror hybrid available at Apple in HD with an embed below.

Fortunately for us the film looks to reside closer in Impact's quality corner to Event Horizon than AVP, though I suppose I need not point out to horror fans how relatively unfortunate such a comparison is. Personally, I gravitate towards any horror story confined to one locale, particularly if it's in space. Yes, I can even find the good in Jason X. But not Leprechaun 4. Let's be realistic, folks.
