Based on the short story of the same name by George R. R. Martin, “In the Lost Lands” is an upcoming action-fantasy epic from director Paul W. S. Anderson. The film stars Anderson’s real-life wife Milla Jovovich who he previously worked with on the Resident Evil film series and more recently “Monster Hunter”. The film also stars Dave Bautista who can be good if given the right material. The first trailer dropped today and it’s hard to get a good feel for what to expect.
From the trailer the film’s fantastical story is a little hard to put together. It sees Jovovich playing a powerful witch named Gray Alys who’s on a mission to the violent post-apocalyptic wilderness known as the Lost Lands. Ahead of her journey she hires a guide named Boyce (Bautista) who is familiar with the dangers that lie ahead. The two immediately encounter a variety of threats, some natural and some not so much. The film looks to incorporate a heavy does of dark fantasy action and it looks to have an equally dark story. Hopefully that story has enough meat on its bones to stay interesting.
“In the Lost Lands” opens in theaters February 28th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
Keith & the Movies 
I’m often mixed on Paul W.S. Anderson but he does have his moments. I don’t think I’ll watch this in the theaters but at least it is good to see Milla Jovovich work with someone like Dave Bautista who at least is doing interesting work. Plus, congrats to his co-star Pamela Anderson on that SAG nomination. I didn’t see that coming and I’m happy for her.
I’m with you on PWS Anderson. I’m not as high on Bautista. Happy for Pam. But it’s hard for me to take SAG seriously when they completely snub Fernanda Torres, Guy Pearce, and Denzel Washington.
Looks fair to middlin but who knows. I guess we’ll find out!
I’m up in the air on it. Of course I’ll see it, but it’s hard to get a read on it.
I’ll most likely see this because of fantasy epics are easy to watch.
but also because of the directors works include Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon, and Soldier which were all reasonably good popcorn movies
And that’s really all I’m hoping for from it. If Anderson can deliver that, it’ll be mission accomplished.
