Most people probably know George R.R. Martin as the author of the Game of Thrones books. However, he had already released many short stories before that. A fantasy short story is now being turned into a film. A well-known director and two actors, whom you might know from action movies, are involved.
What film is it about? A new fantasy film called In The Lost Lands has been announced, which we won’t have to wait long for. The film is set to premiere in German cinemas on March 6, 2025. The director is no stranger.
Paul W.S. Anderson is directing the film, which is based on a short story by George R.R. Martin that was published in 1982. Paul W.S. Anderson is mainly known for rather poorly rated films like the Resident Evil film series or the Monster Hunter film from 2020, which did not please the fans.
The two main actors are also not unknown. Former wrestler Dave Bautista is primarily known as Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy. Milla Jovovich is also familiar with action films. She played the lead role in the Resident Evil films by her husband.
You can watch a trailer for the film here:
The Search for the Ability to Become a Werewolf
What is In The Lost Lands about? A queen desires nothing more than to be happy in love. She sends a gifted witch, played by Milla Jovovich, on a journey to the Lost Lands
, to find a magic that allows her to transform into a werewolf. She is accompanied by a hunter, played by Dave Bautista.
The trailer already shows that the film will likely offer a lot of action. There are fights with weapons, but also magic. The background story could also be exciting. At times, it feels like a post-apocalypse setting that takes place more in the future than in the Middle Ages.
What can we expect from In The Lost Lands? With Paul W.S. Anderson, one should always be cautious. One should not expect an excellent book adaptation like in the first seasons of Game of Thrones. In Resident Evil and Monster Hunter, it was already evident that Anderson brings his own style to the screen rather than closely adhering to the source material.
Regarding Milla Jovovich, it must be said that she has not exactly become known for her good acting. Although Dave Bautista has shown in Guardians of The Galaxy or Blade Runner 2049 that he can definitely act. Nevertheless, he has also appeared in many mediocre films.
Milla Jovovich is mainly known for her role as Alice in the Resident Evil films, in addition to The Fifth Element. She has done that for years, but one of her dreams was never realized: She appeared in six Resident Evil films, but Milla Jovovich’s unfulfilled dream was to see Alice in Capcom games
