It's been a long wait - and a bit of a turbulent one - but the first proper teaser for Mathieu Kassovitz' big budget scifi action film Babylon AD has arrived and is looking good. No doubt about it, Kassovitz - probably still best known on these shores for playing the romantic lead in Amelie - can shoot some fine film and this thing is loaded with impressive imagery. Other than La Haine, however, his films also generally struggle with story and character elements so time will tell whether he's pulled this one off though the teaser gives reason for optimism ...

The video file begins with a spoken introduction from Kassovitz before hitting the teaser itself and you'll find it embedded below the break in the Twitch Player.
