In the Lost Lands Trailer with Dave Bautista and Milla Jovovich

Vertical has released the official trailer and poster for In the Lost Lands, an upcoming fantasy film directed by Paul W.S. Anderson from a screenplay by Anderson and Constantin Werner.

Opening in theaters on March 7, 2025, In the Lost Lands was rated R by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) for violence.

In the film based on George R.R. Martin’s short story, a queen sends the powerful and feared sorceress Gray Alys (Milla Jovovich) to the ghostly wilderness of the Lost Lands in search of a magical power, where the sorceress and her guide, the drifter Boyce (Dave Bautista), must outwit and outfight man and demon.

The film was produced by Jeremy Bolt, Dave Bautista, Milla Jovovich, Constantin Werner, Paul W. S. Anderson, Jonathan Meisner and Robert Kulzer.

Principal photography for In the Lost Lands began in November 2022 at Alvernia Studios in Poland and wrapped in February 2023.

Paul W.S. Anderson has previously directed his wife, Milla Jovovich, in films like the Resident Evil series, The Three Musketeers and Monster Hunter. The visual effects were provided by Herne Hill Media, which previously worked on Anderson’s Resident Evil films and Monster Hunter.

“In the Lost Lands was one of my earliest fantasies, first published in 1982 in the anthology Amazons II,” said George R.R. Martin in November 2024 on his site when the release date was still February 28.

“A long time ago, I had hoped to write a series of stories about Gray Alys and those bold enough to buy from her…

“But life and other stories intervened, and somehow I never got around to writing that second tale. But who knows? If the film does well enough, maybe I will finally write that sequel. In my copious spare time.

“Until then, do check out the movie. It’s dark and twisted and atmospheric, and a lot of fun.”
