BLOODSHOT Trailer featuring Vin Diesel

The trailer for the latest instalment of "Fast and Furious" has just ... wait, wrong movie ... the trailer for the next instalment of "xXx", eerrr... "Babylon AD"? ... "Universal Soldier"? .... ah YES, Vin Diesel is #Bloodshot.


WHAT-IS: "Based on the bestselling comic book, Vin Diesel stars as Ray Garrison, a soldier recently killed in action and brought back to life as the superhero Bloodshot by the RST corporation. With an army of nanotechnology in his veins, he’s an unstoppable force –stronger than ever and able to heal instantly. But in controlling his body, the company has sway over his mind and memories, too. Now, Ray doesn’t know what’s real and what’s not – but he’s on a mission to find out."


And while I've collected and enjoyed the early issues of the Valiant comic book back in 1992, it never really impacted me thinking it was an "upgraded" version of "Universal Soldier" than this particular trailer has, but who knows these celluloid days....? Did the trailer basically give away the entire movie too? LOL

Nearly 3 decades from comicbook-page to silver screens, with a visual aesthetic devoid of uniqueness nor character (besides that of The Diesel), "BLOODSHOT" premieres 2.21.20.
