The folks over at IGN were nice enough to hand us over the trailer for Vin Diesel‘s upcoming action sci-fi thriller, Babylon A.D..

Based upon Maurice Georges Dantec’s French novel Babylon Babies, the film has been on a close watch for movie geeks everywhere since production began. French director Mathieu Kassovitz (Munich) directed the movie, which features a dominantly-French cast, including big-time French actor Gérard Depardieu!

It’s always nice to an actor going back to his or her roots. Honestly, what was he thinking when he signed on to The Pacifier?

You can expect it to hit theaters on August 29. Check out the trailer after the jump!
