Ryan Phillippe’s Franklyn Loves Masks, Hates Religion

A new trailer for the parallel-world saga Franklyn is out, giving us further insight into the uber-religious future where everyone is forced to profess some sort of spirituality — even if it's just worshiping donkeys.

Ryan Phillippe and his cast-mates Eva Green, Bernard Hill and Art Malik are featured in two separate storylines in Franklyn. One takes place in the present, and the other is a futuristic world oppressed by a government that forces everyone everyone to choose a religion (it doesn't matter what kind). Phillipe plays an atheist superhero/vigilante who shakes things up for that dystopian future. While the characters exist in both realities, it takes a murder to them all together.

Franklyn will be out in the UK on February 9th.
