News > Quaid, Gibson, Walsh Join "Legion"

Written by David Morgan

Scott Stewart's debut film "Legion" has suddenly amassed quite an array of talent. Along with leading man Paul Bettany, he's just recruited Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Tenney, Charles S. Dutton, Lucas Black, Kate Walsh, Adrianne Palicki, Kevin Durand, and Willa Holland. Variety reports:

Scripted by Stewart and Peter Schink, the thriller casts Bettany as the archangel Michael, the only one standing between mankind and an apocalypse, after God loses faith in humanity. Man's lone hope rests with a group of strangers who must deliver a baby they realize is Christ in his second coming.

Shooting is nearly set to begin in New Mexico. It sounds like this one's just asking for a disproportionate backlash from Evangelical groups.
