“The Mutant Chronicles” is an upcoming movie based on the role-playing game with the same name. From the official site:<blockquote> Mutant Chronicles is a futuristic war film set in a dark time when the Earth’s natural resources have been exhausted by mankind and battle rages between the soldiers of four leading Corporations: the Capitol, Bauhaus, Mishima and Imperial.

Mitch Hunter and Nathan Rooker, a pair of battle-hardened Capitol soldiers, are leading an attack on a Bauhaus outfit when an explosion rips a hole in an ancient seal awakening a horrifying machine that recycles human corpses creating powerful and relentless mutants. Mitch manages to escape but he has to witness the savage death of his friend Nathan who is torn apart by mutants armed with heavy bladed arms.

As the mutants multiply by their millions destroying all before them, the last humans attempt to evacuate the planet. The Corporations’ leader, a high priest figure called Constantine, is about to abandon the planet and leave the remaining humans to their desperate fate when he is approached by one of the Elders, a monk named Samuel. Brother Samuel is keeper of the Chronicles, an old tome, which foretold the rise of the Mutants and that a ‘Deliverer’ will appear to destroy the Machine and save mankind. Samuel believes he is the Deliverer and he manages to recruit Mitch Hunter to help him in his quest to destroy the Machine. Mitch reluctantly signs up, along with a handful of like-minded soldiers including Steiner, a Bauhaus leader and sworn enemy of Mitch; sword-wielding Severian and Latino street fighter El Jesus; fearless beauty Duval and her brother Juba.

The “Mutant Chronicles” follows Mitch and Samuel’s mission to venture into the very heart of the machine in an attempt save the planet from the marauding hordes of undead.</blockquote>Here are some pics too:

Thanks Wasteland Stories.
 
I'm having a hard time taking this seriously - Bauhaus is the European equivalent of Home Depot. War-waging home home improvement retailers?

Hehe.. I smiled a little when I saw that too, but figured.. What the hell? It could be a cool flick anyway.. :)
 
I can picture the dialouge now:

-"Constantine, our constant overseer, I am brother Samuel. The scriptures have foreseen these events. They speak of a chosen one, to rid the wasteland of the mutants forever. I believe I am this chosen one."

-"Brother Samuel, this is an extremely dangerous undertaking.. Are you sure you want to attempt it?"

-"Yes, I am convinced of my success. This mutant threat is nothing the earth has ever seen before.. But I have been in war before.. And war.. War never changes..."

:D

No, it's the Bauhaus school:
is the common term for the Staatliches Bauhaus (help·info), a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts. It operated from 1919 to 1933, and for the approach to design that it publicized and taught. The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius. The name Bauhaus stems from the German words for "to build" and "house." Ironically, despite its name and the fact its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department for the first several years of its existence. Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design.[1]

The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design and typography.

Search for images on Google on the Bauhaus style and you'll understand the reference.

I've been following the film for sometime now.

Looks not terrible. I dunno if I'd pay to see it in theaters.

It doesn´t look terrible? Thats odd, I thought it did.. :)

I don´t mean to rain on everybodys parade, but I sure hope the end result looks alot better than that..
The thing that bugged me the most was probably the guy who ran around with the m60 machine gun without an ammo belt.. :)
 
And the main thing that bugged me was that there was shooting, blood and...
Well, that's all and that's what worries me.
 
Looks like it's about as faithful to the Mutant Chronicles setting as FOBOS to Fallout.
