‘Babylon A.D.’ International Poster and Trailer

A new international poster and trailer for the upcoming Vin Diesel action flick “Babylon A.D.” has been released, featuring a familiar shot of the actor walking through a city.

“Babylon A.D.” is directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, who last helmed Halle Berry’s “Gothika” back in 2003. He seems to be just as popular behind the camera as he is in front. You might remember Kassovitz from “Munich,” where he played one of the Mossad agents along side Daniel Craig and Eric Bana.

“Babylon A.D.” is scheduled to hit theaters on August 29th, 2008.

Brad Pitt and Paramount Pictures Search for Lost City

Paramount Pictures has preemptively bought Lost City of Z, a David Grann manuscript based on a September 2005 article in the New Yorker. The trade says that Brad Pitt is producing the feature through his Plan B shingle. He also has the Coen brothers’ Burn After Reading hitting theaters in September and David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which Par will open in December. Another film with him set as a producer is the Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana vehicle The Time Traveler’s Wife, which will debut in November.Plot Concept: Grann’s forthcoming nonfiction book concerns British explorer Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett, who was attempting to find the so-called City of Z when he and his party disappeared in 1925. Over the next 70 years, scores of explorers tried and failed to retrace Fawcett’s path, including a 1996 expedition of Brazilian adventurers. Brad Pitt would play Fawcett.
