Babylon A.D.: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

''[[Babylon A.D.]]'' is a [[Cyberpunk]] action film based on the novel ''Babylon Babies'' by French (naturalised Canadian) sci-fi writer Maurice G. Dantec. In a near-future world divided by nationalistic and religious conflict, a mercenary called Toorop (played by [[Vin Diesel]]) is hired by a [[The Mafiya|Russian mobster]] to escort a woman {{spoiler|pregnant with genetically-enhanced twins}} to North America for delivery to the Neolites, a New Age sect. The woman's odd behaviour, and other strange events, cause Toorop to realise {{spoiler|that the babies she is carrying represent the next stage in human evolution.}}

 

As the film's development was hellish from A to Z, the final product bombed hard and was disavowed by its own director, Matthieu Kassovitz. A making-of called [http://www.erenumerique.fr/fucking_kassovitz_-article-1634-1.html Fucking Kassovitz] was released in 2011 to reveal the extent of the disaster behind the scenes.
