George R.R. Martin's In the Lost Lands unites Resident Evil team with Dave Bautista

Deadline reported that Milla Jovovich (Monster Hunter) and Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) will be seen together on fantasy-adventure film In the Lost Lands. It is based on the short story by Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin. Paul W. S. Anderson (Resident Evil) will direct the movie.

The official plot will follow a queen, desperate to obtain the gift of shapeshifting, who makes a daring play. She hires the sorceress Gray Alys (Jovovich), a woman as feared as she is powerful. Sent to the ghostly wilderness of the “Lost Lands,” Alys and her guide, the drifter Boyce (Bautista), must outwit and outfight man and demon in a fable that explores the nature of good and evil, debt and fulfillment, love and loss.

FilmNation is launching the film at next week’s virtual European Film Market (EFM). A previous version of the project was launched for the Berlin market six years ago. But the new one is said to have creative and financial elements. Paul W.S. Anderson has penned down the script. Producers are Jeremy Bolt (Resident Evil), Anderson, Milla Jovovich, Dave Bautista, and Jonathan Meisner, through their production company Dream Bros Entertainment, and Constantin Werner.
