Milla Jovovich in talks to star in George R.R. Martin’s In The Lost Lands

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

It's being reported RESIDENT EVIL star Milla Jovovich is in final talks to star in IN THE LOST LANDS, a new fantasy-adventure movie based on short stories written by Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. Constantin Werner (THE PAGAN QUEEN) will direct the film from the screenplay he wrote, and production will begin in Germany later this year. Shameless and THE CHUMSCRUBBER actor Justin Chatwin is also attached to the Myriad Pictures project.

According to Myriad (via THR), IN THE LOST LANDS "interconnects three female-centric Martin short stories":

In one thread, the desperate queen of a city built into a towering mountain hires the sorceress Gray Alys (Jovovich) to travel into the ghostly wasteland called the Lost Lands, to obtain the gift of shape-shifting into a werewolf, but she doesn’t realize that the fulfillment of her wish will come at a terrible price.

Meanwhile, warrior girl Sharra must fight a dragon that serves as the gatekeeper of seven worlds to reunite with her lost lover Kaydar. During this quest she meets the mysterious lord of a deserted castle, Laren Dorr, who seduces her so completely that she forgets her quest and stays with him, unaware that he is the real gatekeeper.  

And in the futuristic tale Bitterblooms, a young barbarian girl gets spellbound by a lonely witch in a spacecraft, who shows her beauty and love, which turns out to be a net of lies and deceit.

Based on the synopsis above, there's going to be an awful lot going on in IN THE LOST LANDS. I haven't seen Constantin Werner's THE PAGAN QUEEN, so I don't know what to expect from the director, but I am certainly interested in learning more about his new movie.

Season 5 of Game of Thrones will premiere on HBO on April 12, 2015.
