Babylon A.D. is a 2008 science-fiction action film directed and co-written by Mathieu Kassovitz, based on the 1999 novel Babylon Babies by Maurice Georges Dantec. It stars Vin Diesel, Mélanie Thierry, Michelle Yeoh, Lambert Wilson, Mark Strong, Jérôme Le Banner, Charlotte Rampling, and Gérard Depardieu. It was an international co-production between France, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[4]
The film was released in France on August 29, 2008 by StudioCanal. It received generally negative reviews, and failed to meet commercial expectations. Mathieu Kassovitz disowned the finished film, claiming 20th Century Fox had interfered throughout production and that the film did not represent his intended vision.[6]
