US-American George R. R. Martin has created a multi-volume fantasy saga that served as the basis for the cult series "Game of Thrones". Now a fantasy adventure penned by the bestselling author is coming to cinemas, directed by "Resident Evil" director Paul W. S. Anderson. "In the Lost Lands" is based on a short story by Martin.

Milla Jovovich ("Resident Evil") plays the witch Gray Alys. She is supposed to help a queen transform herself into a werewolf. But to do so, she has to go to the Lost Lands. A dangerous task in which the magician asks the mysterious hunter Boyce (Dave Bautista - "Dune: Part Two") for help. Other roles include Arly Jover ("Axolotl Overkill"), Amara Okereke ("Red Rose") and Fraser James ("Terminator").

The trailer shows a bleak world in which not much is left of its former life after a major war. The skeletons of destroyed houses and factories rise darkly into the brownish sky. Dangerous monsters and other sinister creatures lurk among them.

"In the Lost Lands" takes the audience into a dystopian world characterized by intrigue, power games and the fight for survival, says Constantin, describing the action-packed fantasy adventure. A mixture that appeals to author George R. R. Martin. "It's dark, full of twists and turns, atmospheric and a lot of fun," the 76-year-old shared.
