What’s up with Vin Diesel pretending to be Bono? Kinda weird. Anyway, this is the first poster from Vin Diesel’s upcoming flick Babylon A.D.

Babylon A.D. is directed by French filmmaker Mathieu Kassovitz, who also directed 2003’s Gothika. The film hits theaters on Leap Day next year, February 29th, 2008.

This poster comes courtesy of First Showing. According to them, the flick is about:

Veteran-turned-mercenary Thoorop (Diesel) takes the high-risk job of escorting a woman from Russia to China. Little does he know that she is host to an organism that a cult wants to harvest in order to produce a genetically modified Messiah.

Kassovitz showed some promise with Gothika even if the movie was ultimately a dud.  The plot sounds promising and cool enough.  And you know we’re suckers for Sci-Fi so even despite this goofy Bono worshipping poster, we’ll reserve judgement.
