"Legion" is the upcoming movie from Scott Stewart which stars Paul Bettany as the Angel Michael, as well as Dennis Quaid and Kevin Durand. It hasn't received any coverage on this site because of its lack of comic book ties but that has all changed now!
IDW Publishing announced that Scott Stewart and Tom Waltz have penned a four issue mini-series that will serve as a prequel to the movie. "Legion: Prophets" will introduce you to the Theologians, the Guardian, the Codebreaker, and the Voice, five very different and unlikely individuals who become humanity's only hope in surviving the Apocalypse.
"There were a lot of cool and scary characters and situations that I wasn't able to include in the main narrative of the movie. So I'm very excited to be able to expand the Legion universe beyond the film and explore those other stories through the comic book series," says Stewart.
Here's a look at that trailer. Its pretty crazy looking. Seems to have elements of everything from "Dogma" to "Preacher" to "Sandman" in there..
Thanks to Cinematical for all the info.
