Isn't there an Australian film identical to this?
Catholicism WOW by tehBIGIvan	Feb 13th, 2008 01:38:10 AM
Catholics have one of the best Mythologies.

I too have an appetite for this kind of thing, especially for an atheist (well, by faith I'm an atheist, but I practice agnosticism).

Did Michael hold the flaming sword to show Adam and Eve the way out of the garden in Paradise Lost? Might be a bit of affinity with us human types there. (go on , google it and correct me, can't be bothered checking). Either way angel mythology ace, there's a bit in Paradise Lost suggesting materials angels made of indestructible, so good film fodder there. Why not just make Paradise Lost?

Paradise Lost book XI by board shitlez	Feb 13th, 2008 01:55:51 AM
IN WHICH: "God sends Michael and his band to expel the sinning pair from Paradise, but first to reveal to Adam future events, resulting from his sin. The angel descends to Eden with the news of their expulsion, causing Eve to withdraw in tears. Michael leads Adam up a high hill, where he sets before him in visions what shall happen till the Great Flood." Seems Michael's job was to engage with the human types. Plot is a good idea. I know PL isn't the bible, but it does influence the mythology massively.
Boaed Shitlez, indestructable angels by tehBIGIvan	Feb 13th, 2008 02:08:29 AM
I could have sworn in Paradise lost Lucifer was cut in half lengthwise and the two pieces rejoined. I don't know if my recollection is accurate (haven't googled it) or if confirms or disputes your claim of indestructability.
Exorcist III by kwisatzhaderach	Feb 13th, 2008 02:31:24 AM
What a cool film. They should have stuck with Legion as the title though and trust Fox to have fucked up Blatty's original cut of the film. Any chance we'll see that on DVD one day?
I think it has been proven time and time again... by D o o d	Feb 13th, 2008 02:56:20 AM
CG guys are not good at making movies. Look at Spawn and the more recent AvP: Requiem. I do like the idea and this guy could prove me wrong, but somehow, I don't think so..!
Paul Bettany as BRAINIAC 5!!! by Human Tornado	Feb 13th, 2008 03:13:56 AM
what? No, wait...
IMO catholic dogma/mythos is the most boring by smackfu	Feb 13th, 2008 03:40:14 AM
and ridiculous subject matter available. Every culture in the world has their own notion of what goes on in the afterlife, but the Catholic/Christian view is the most hilarious in that it's so heavy on bureaucracy and proceedure. Their religion makes Heaven seem like the fucking DMV. You've got a big long lineup to get in, ONE fucking guy at the front desk processing everyone, there's a uniform and paraphernalia involved, harp muzak, inter-office politics (jealous angels?), and a disgruntled former employee that broke off from the company to run his own show how he sees fit. I find the notion that God had to deal with a disgruntled employee fucking HILARIOUS. I'm only surprised there is no Psalm about God banning all scented perfumes and deodorants from heaven after a complaint from Shiela, the hypochondriac Angel.
Fuck this by Lost Jarv	Feb 13th, 2008 04:31:31 AM
Just give us I, Lucifer. And not with Ewan McGregor or Daniel Craig.
Isn't Exorcist 3 on DVD? by Lost Jarv	Feb 13th, 2008 04:35:05 AM
or am I being stupid? And this is very, very unexciting news. As much as I love bad films, the prophecy ones were terrible. Not even Christopher Walken could save them.
Looking for the title of a similar movie... by Evil Lincoln	Feb 13th, 2008 04:38:14 AM
A friend of mine keeps telling me about a movie he really liked but can't remember the title. It's about two humans who get involved between to factions of waring angels. At the end of the movie, the Devil appears to them and offers them "jobs" and tells them, "If you change your minds you know where to find me! We're open seven days a week and Christmas"...or something along those lines.

Bettany looks like he's dying by BenFerris	Feb 13th, 2008 04:50:26 AM
I really can't stand Paul Bettany, I don't even like that name. But I seriously thought it was a joke when he was in that tennis movie with Kisten Dunst, I thought he had cancer in that movie. The movie sounds good though.
Damn you to...well, I was going to say Hell, but that's too Cath by SickPuppy	Feb 13th, 2008 05:18:31 AM
You made me pee a little. Just for that, I will steal your DMV analogy and pass it off as my own.
"God's angels sent to wipe out mankind." by sonnyfern	Feb 13th, 2008 05:41:33 AM
HA! Sounds awesome!
SickPuppy by Vesuvio	Feb 13th, 2008 06:26:09 AM
Yes, I'm gonna steal that one too.
tehBIGIvan by board shitlez	Feb 13th, 2008 07:50:24 AM
Yeah, you're right, weird tho because there's something about a question somewhere as to whether Lucifer could actually be destroyed.
What the fuck... by Mosquito March	Feb 13th, 2008 08:11:49 AM
...has happened to Bettany? He was poised to be a big star in serious films, and then he started doing shit like FIREWALL and DA VINCI CODE. And, there's no way that some bullshit PROPHECY knock-off will turn the tide. Oh, well - he still gets to bang Jennifer Connelly. I guess that's something.
International Star of Stage and Screen, Pail BETTANY! by Christopher3	Feb 13th, 2008 09:14:00 AM
Nope, don't see it. Get a "Master and Commander" sequel going, dude.

Paul Bettany needs to step away from religo-flicks by artyfufkin	Feb 13th, 2008 10:34:45 AM
Albino monks...Michael the sword arm of God...and whatever else he's been in apart from tennis films with Kirsten Dunst. For craps sakes do a video game turned into a film like everybody else. But I'll still go and pickup a copy said flick at my dollar DVD shop.
Lost Jarv by Gilkuliehe	Feb 13th, 2008 02:20:54 PM
It is on DVD. I believe our fellow talkbacker was referring to a director's cut of that film, allegedly a far more superior yet more "spiritual" telling of the LEGION story. I for one vote yes on that one. William Peter Blatty may have a mess of botox end eyeballs for a face, but damn the fucker can write. I thought this news had to do with him and now I'm sad. I'll go watch THE NINTH CONFIGURATION instead.
I can't stand you talking monkeys by Olsen Twins_Fan	Feb 13th, 2008 02:21:43 PM
I want it to be like it was before, when God loved us best.
This sounds cool to you? by Tourist	Feb 13th, 2008 03:33:30 PM
I bet its as cool as Underworld and Gabrie and other leather emo fetish religous based goth B grade action shit. No. Not cool. Just fucking hackneyed and embarassing.
He must have liked getting paid. by Tourist	Feb 13th, 2008 08:48:24 PM
Go to IMDB and check out Walkens resume. The guy isn't terribly discerning with his choices.
