Summit Entertainment just released the first trailer for The Last Witch Hunter, opening in theaters on October 23, 2015.
The trailer is actually the first “teaser” that focuses solely on Fast & Furious‘ Vin Diesel, who stars as 13th century Kaulder, the last of the witch hunters, alongside Elijah Wood, Rose Leslie and Michael Caine. Because it’s about selling Diesel, we barely get a taste of the world or the creatures within them. I’m dying to see a full trailer that shows more of the monsters, the witches, as well as the action. This is a great “taste” of what’s to come!
Tormented by the loss of his family and cursed with immortal life, the last witch hunter (Diesel) is all that stands between humanity and the combined forces of the most horrifying witches in history…
The Crazies‘ Breck Eisner directs.
“In ‘The Last Witch Hunter’, the modern world holds many secrets, but the most astounding secret of all is that witches still live amongst us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world. Armies of witch hunters battled the unnatural enemy across the globe for centuries, including Kaulder, a valiant warrior who managed to slay the all-powerful Queen Witch, decimating her followers in the process. In the moments right before her death, theQueen curses Kaulder with her own immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter in the afterlife. Today Kaulder is the only one of his kind remaining, and has spent centuries hunting down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost loved ones. However, unbeknownst to Kaulder, the Queen Witch is resurrected and seeks revenge on her killer causing an epic battle that will determine the survival of the human race.“
