Description
This week’s film is Legion. No, not the X-Men TV show, Google! Please just let me finish my research so I can go to sleep!
Anyway, the film stars Paul Bettany (Avengers: Infinity War, Manhunt: Unabomber, A Knight’s Tale) and was directed by Scott Stewart (Priest, Dominion, Dark Skies). The pair would team up twice within a year of each other for Legion and Priest, which make a pretty decent double feature. Bettany plays Michael, an angel who willingly transubstantiates to become a man and defy God to help save humanity.
Basically, Adrianne Palicki (Orville, John Wick, From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series), is pregnant with the next savior of humanity, but God wants to do the ol’ ctrl+alt+del on humanity and does not want the baby born. Instead, he sends a horde of angels to possess people and do his bidding.
Notable villains include Doug Jones (Hellboy, The Shape of Water, Pan’s Labyrinth) and Jeanette Miller (Quantum Leap, Star Trek: Voyager, Austin Powers). Miller plays Gladys, the seemingly sweet old lady, who lets the cast know that there is some divine tomfoolery about. Jones plays the bit part of a possessed ice cream man, which is sadly squandered, because it is visually impressive. Kevin Durand (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Vikings, 3:10 to Yuma) plays Gabriel, the sassy angel with bulletproof wings.
Lucas Black and Tyrese Gibson of the Fast & Furious franchise are in the film. One is kind of a racial stereotype and the other is named after a car, so there’s that.
This week’s Hidden Track is Twilight Creeps, with their song Night of the Demons. You can check them out at twilightcreeps.com, which has access to their facebook, twitter, Instagram, and youtube.
