Legion is the latest post-apocalyptic film to hit the market, and it stars Paul Bettany in an unconventional yet angelic role. The movie marks the first major release for writer/director Scott Stewart, who’s been on the visual effects side of filmmaking for years, but is now working on bringing his own projects to life. Legion is a Christian-themed movie, with a splash of zombie-horror, Western ideals, and a whole lot of action.
Finally the trailer that we saw weeks ago at Comic-Con (read our first look) for the upcoming religious epic Legion has been released and it looks absolutely amazing. The film centers on the archangel Michael (Paul Bettany) and his journey to protect a young woman (Adrianne Palicki) and her unborn child. The trailer is just as creepy as it is beautiful.
The best part about this trailer is that, even though Doug Jones is assisted by special effects, we finally get to see his face on screen! Jones’ is known for playing almost every interesting animal-like creature in Guillermo del Toro’s films, such as Pan in Pan’s Labyrinth, Abe (the Fish-Man) in Hellboy, and many more.

We finally got to see some footage from Scott Stewart’s upcoming religious epic, Legion. I hadn’t heard much about the film besides the fact that Paul Bettany would be playing an angel, and Doug Jones would just be playing creepy……again. Either way I was excited when the cast came out to introduce the film. They showed the first official trailer which literally blew me away!

Guillermo del Toro, the man who brought you monster movie hits like Hellboy and its sequel, is starting work on another big movie, Frankenstein. Although he is still working on The Hobbit which will be out in 2011 and The Hobbit 2 in 2012, they are starting to do tests for the movie since they have the luxury of time on their side. Doug Jones, del Toro’s go-to-guy says although it is not official, he will probably play the monster lead.
Busy director, producer, and writer Guillermo del Toro recently opened up about a few of his most high profile projects. According to SciFiSquad del Toro gave up some goodies regarding his Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit, and his horror adaptation Frankenstein. It’s usually like pulling teeth to get this man to spill the beans, but he let us in on a few key castings for the two films.
