Another Graphic ‘Last Witch Hunter’ Poster
Summit Entertainment just released another new one-sheet for The Last Witch Hunter, recently set for release on October 23, 2015.
Vin Diesel stars as 13th century Kaulder, the last of witch hunters, alongside Elijah Wood, Rose Leslie and Michael Caine. The Crazies‘ Breck Eisner directs.
In The Last Witch Hunter, “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.“
Here’s a newly released, more detailed synopsis:
“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, the QUEEN 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.”

Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, Predator: Badlands) will direct horror comedy Freddy the 13th for Paramount Animation, and the film now has a release date.
Paramount will release Freddy the 13th in theaters on October 13, 2028.
And yes, that’s a Friday the 13th!
The animated feature will adapt the indie comic from Yehudi Mercado.
Freddy the 13th essentially imagines a world where Uncle Buck becomes Jason Voorhees.
Deadline details the upcoming animated film as follows: “A family vacation turns into a nightmare when fun Uncle Freddy accidentally kills the Boogeyman and takes on his powers.”
The official synopsis for the comic book from creator Yehudi Mercado further details, “Uncle Buck becomes the Boogey Man. When a horror-obsessed, unlucky schlub accidentally kills the legendary slasher Nighty Night, he inherits the mantle of the monster—right as he’s stuck babysitting his niece and nephew for thirteen nights of terror. Now, as rival killers crawl out of the shadows to seize the throne, Freddy must drive cross-country to break the curse, protect his family… and prove he’s finally good at something, even if it’s being evil.”
Dan Trachtenberg writes on Instagram, “I’ve spent most of my career making movies that parents probably shouldn’t show their kids. I’m finally making one…they…can…?”
Stay tuned for more on Dan Trachtenberg’s Freddy the 13th as we learn it.
