Legion red band trailer, you guys:

See, you think Rosebud is going to turn out to be a demon sled, but then it turns out that it’s an angel sled, and you’re like WHOA!

But I really don’t think that the Apocalypse is going to happen in some abandoned roadside cafe out in the middle of the desert. I know that some abandoned roadside cafe out in the middle of the desert is Hollywood’s favorite place to imagine the Apocalypse happening, but, you know, no. It will happen everywhere all at once! Scorched Earth strategy. And also, it won’t happen, because organized religion is make believe.

That being said, if the Apocalypse IS real, God should brush up on Her* Photoshop skills, because those angels’ faces are looking real Technical College Night Class. (Via FilmDrunk.)

  1. i thought the apocalypse looked more like the juggalo gathering.

  2. So it looks like the video to a good song, yet is sounds like an asshole? The apocalypse confuses me.

    • apparently it confuses me so much I write nonsensical sentences. That should say “yet IT sounds like an asshole?”

      • I’ve never understood this phenomena of upvoting grammatical corrections. It has 4 times more upvotes than the original. Did that little error bother everybody so much? If you agree with the sentiment why not just upvote the original? I think i may have just spent way too much time thinking about upvoting procedure.

  3. Won’t let me watch it.

  4. I’d watch anything that pits Roc against Keamy.

  5. Wow. This, apparently, has every d-list actor I’ve ever seen on television. On a related note, it looks absolutely horrible.

    • One time I spoke to a dead deer… and ever since then I’ve had the nagging suspicion that some day Dennis Quaid would smile really hard and everything would end.

  6. Ugh, the stretching arms. Don’t make me hear that sound, Hollywood.

  7. after all the granny-killing fantasies in the news lately, to actually see someone killing a granny kind of provides some closure.

  8. My computer’s being wonky (Lawnmower Man is it? I’m new here), so I only saw the beginning. Is this based on Stretch Armstrong?

  9. I’ve already [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer_(DC_Comics)]read this[/url], I think.

    I know we’re supposed to be cultured and savvy folks here at Videogum but I will shamelessly admit that I kind of want to see this. I have a weak spot for Evil Dead-style slapstick horror, apocalyptic drama, and mildly blasphemous reappropriation of religious imagery. Which is basically everything this movie is.

    • Huh, my comment was posted under a completely different user? (I’m moonmaster, for the record, in case it does it again.)

      Videogum has barely been working for me today and now this. I am confused.

      (The linkfail was my fault. HTML not BBCode, HTML not BBCode,…)

      • Ah, what the hell, it did it again!

        • Videogum is collapsing in on itself! It’s barely loading! I am instructed to sign in to vote even though I am signed in! Moonmasters are philplusberts (and possibly vice versa)! Soon we will all revert to the ViGum version of the space baby at the end of 2001: we will post as technojeremy. OPEN THE POD BAY DOOR, GABE!

      • I know Videogum is putting itself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do…. but I think it logged me in a swinglow.
        AND THIS IS BECCA!
        If it’s just me, then disregard this.
        But if it’s swinglow, then everybody freak out.

  10. I usually don’t like the flesh-colored facial hair look (I’m looking at you, Simon Baker. I’m never looking at you, Spencer Pratt.), but that Paul Bettany really does it for me… even(/especially?) when he’s organizing mortal legions against the angels of God.

  11. I’m getting tired of these “horror” movies. LOOK OUT! RELIGION!

    Well…it appears The Hunt is over.

    • Now that it’s been brought up – along the same OMGRELIGIOUSPROPHECEEEZ! line is Hilary Swank’s The Reaping, which I officially nominate for The Hunt.
      Hollywood certainly has a *thing* for plagues of Biblical proportions and DEMON BEHBEHS.

      • Honestly, the reason there are so many Biblical Bullshit movies is the same reason why we’re getting a Lego movie. It requires little to no original thought, and virtually no talent. Any hack with a pulse could have read Exodus and written The Reaping. This shit literally writes itself. It already has.

        Toss in the fact that the fucking MAJORITY of this country believes that the Grand Canyon was formed by Noah’s Fucking Flood, and you have an enormous, easily manipulated, built-in audience that loves to have their belief in magical fairy tales validated. Hence, Legion.

  13. Oh no, it’s Nanageddon!

  14. Crazy long trailer! I feel like the longer the trailer the less faith Hollywood has on the finished product. Edison Force, anyone?

  15. Easiest trailer to have made of all time.

    Gunshot
    Explosion
    Someone screams NOOOOOOOOO!
    Gunshot
    Gunshot
    Explosion
    WHAT’S HAPPENING!!!!
    Gunshot
    Explosion
    I’m here to save the baby
    Are we safe now?
    No.

  16. Is it supposed to be this funny? The minute spider dude opened his mouth up all big and was like “Oh Hai!” I lost it.

  17. I had to turn it off after the old lady bit that guys neck. Making a Grandma violent in a non funny way (such as a ninja) is taking it too far!

    At first that trailer was all like “FROSTY TREATS!!!” and I was like “ohhhhh shhhhhit this movie is gonna be awesome!” and then some stuff happened that I didn’t understand and then an angel stole some guns and I was like “whhhhhhhaaa? why would an angel steal guns” and then grandma angel jumped on the ceiling and started the slow awkard celiling climb that wasn’t fast or cool or scary at all. Because its slow and stupid. Because thats how angels move when they want you to shoot them. Anyway thats when I realised that this movie wasn’t gonna be about frosty treats after all. What a tease.

    Double post! Down votes all around!

  21. Also, this trailer would’ve been a lot scarier if there was more winking.

  22. what I want to know is how everyone managed to watch the entire thing

  23. Oh man. This looks like the funniest movie of all time! They should’ve called “The LOLcalypse”, because of how hilarious it looks. I’m so excited, you guys!

  24. Whoever made this trailer is a genius in that each weirdo actor (Roc? Kate Walsh?? Tyrese???) is revealed one after the other at regular intervals throughout. Amazing. Also, longest trailer ever and basically every wtf moment is revealed. Is this based on a comic book?

  25. I only watched this because I thought it was Soundgarden-related. I pissed my pants in fear FOR THIS?? WHAT IS THIS SHIT?? IT DOESN’T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE!!!

  26. I can’t WAIT to find out who the father of Tyra’s baby is…, cause that’s the only question the trailer left unanswered. I BET IT’S IMPORTANT!

    The apocolypse is grandma spiders?

    Got it, thanks.

  28. Man, between having the dude from Wimbledon protecting her, angels trying to kill her and Riggins always jerking her around, Tyra can’t catch a break.

  29. Ooh, ooh, I hope the baby is Landry’s!

  30. Mom, that’s a terrible story.

    does Dennis Quaid EXPLODE from boils?

    and let me get this straight. . .is her baby the antichrist and the scary stretchy creatures are God’s angels sent to kill us all? So we’re rooting for the antichrist?

  32. Everyone knows that the best way to film someone convincingly scuttling around a ceiling is by building the ceiling as a floor, then you flip the footage upside down in post.
    Gravity only goes one one way. Poor grandma getting dragged along that ceiling by some pulley-system. Shit is ridiculous.

  33. um, where’s the little kid with the possessed voice? I see the old lady, but no child warning us of impending doom or singing a nursery rhyme with blood coming down the walls.

  34. This movie is what happens when you eat a clown for breakfast every morning.

  35. “I’m tired of your bullshit.”
    –God

  36. Where is Channing Tatum?

  37. Nothing screams “quality” like a January release date. I hope it beats out Leprechaun in Space 5 that weekend!

  38. these guys should be making a better movie.

    Hollywood poops out it’s version of Rosemary’s Baby after a coke binge weekend.

  40. Angels dont look like that. Angels look like



    Because man! The History Channel!

  41. That’s the best trailer I’ve seen since I got eyes!

  42. i thought the apocalypse would look like slipknot

    Looks FUN. Oh wait, i forgot no one goes to the movies for fun anymore. Or entertainment. Everyone of you guys needs a refresher course in MST3K. This movie looks like the most ridiculous shit i’ve ever seen. Totally there.

  44. This has the main character from Friday Night Lights the movie married or something to one of the main characters from Friday NIght Lights the TV show.

  45. “I don’t even have a car!”

    Uh-oh! Apocolypse got jokes!

    Randy Quaid does an awesome grumpy Harrison Ford impression.

  47. Sup Buddy  |   Posted on Aug 15th, 2009

    DENNIS Quaid!

  48. Paradise Falls? Like Fallout?

    Oh no, that can’t be good.
