After a terrifying biblical apocalypse descends upon the world, a group of strangers stranded in a remote truck stop diner in the Southwest unwittingly become humanity's last line of defense when they discover the diner's young waitress is pregnant with the messiah.

Spoiler (hover to show)

What happens when God gets tired of us lowly humans and decide to start over? Well nothing good, thats for sure. Here are three new images from Scott Stewarts upcoming horror-action movie Legion, starring Paul Bettany as an archangel who voluntarily falls to Earth to save the savior of mankind. Unfortunately said savior hasnt been born yet, and his mom is a diner waitress played by Adrianne Palicki. Luckily for our warrior angel, the diner also has some battling humans to lend a hand, including Dennis Quaid, Charles S. Dutton, Tyrese Gibson, and Lucas Black. Hell need them too, when theyre surrounded by angels. [D-Man2010]

Scott Stewart's supernatural thriller Legion, scripted by Peter Schink, concerns a group of strangers in an out-of-the-way eatery who become the first line of defense when God, believing the human race is no longer worthy of Him, decides to end their existence. This motley crew's only spiritual ally is the archangel Michael, played by Paul Bettany. Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Charles S. Dutton, and Lucas Black co-star in the Screen Gems production. [D-Man2010]

When God loses faith in Mankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Humanity's only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner and the Archangel Michael. [D-Man2010]

have just watched the trailer and i must admit i'm interested in the movie.

hopefully it will live up the expectations
the casting is good with a good mixture of people. D Quaid appears as young as ever  :D.
cannot wait until it comes out on DVD ( not the cinema as my wife would crap herself at the mention of watching a scary film )

Paul Bettany.  He was in Inkheart and A Knight's Tale (played Geoffrey Chaucer) as mishca said.  He also played the villain in "Firewall" (Harrison Ford movie) but the one I remember him best from is "A Beautiful Mind" with Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly.

Right now some parts just looks cheesy bad to me. Like.. Dennis Quaid's acting looks worse then normal. Or else they gave him overly obvious one-liners that he can't pull off. The whole thing looks like equal amounts of hit and miss. ..er, or maybe leaning more heavily on the 'misses'.

Good film. Bettany, David Thewlis & Malcolm McDowell were all excellent in it.

Bettany was also the voice of Jarvis in Iron Man. (and my pick to be the new Dr Who).  :(
