The role-playing game "Mutant Chronicles" is about to become a movie starring Thomas Jane and John Malkovich, but the flick probably won't be ready for at least a year. Fortunately there's a fairly cool pre-production teaser clip that's just now making the rounds ... and it looks like it could make for a pretty cool movie.

JoBlo points us to the clip that's posted up at YouTube.com, so go give it a look ... if futuristic monster war movies are something that interest you.

Also starring Ron Perlman, Stephen Rea, and Benno Furmann, "Mutant Chronicles" comes from "Event Horizon" screenwriter Philip Eisner and second-time director Simon Hunter. (His first was a 2000 low-budgeter called "Dead of Night."
