Paul W.S. Anderson’s fantasy action film In The Lost Lands starring Dave Bautista and Milla Jovovich has a distributor in Vertical.

Deadline reports that the studio has acquired the rights to the Constanin Films-produced movie, which is directed by Anderson and based on a short story by George R.R. Martin.

The film is set for a theatrical run early next year and was written by Constantin Werner from a story he wrote with Anderson. The outlet describes the film as follows: The story centers on a queen who, desperate to fulfill her love, makes a daring play: she sends the powerful and feared sorceress Gray Alys (Jovovich) to the ghostly wilderness of the Lost Lands in search of a magical power, where the sorceress and her guide, the drifter Boyce (Bautista), must outwit and outfight man and demon..

. Anderson said of the acquisition, “With In the Lost Lands , we’ve created a movie with a completely unique visual style and storytelling that uses cutting-edge technology to bring the story to life like never before. So, it was always important to me that it be seen on the big screen.

That’s why I couldn’t be more thrilled that Vertical is bringing In the Lost Lands to American theaters.” The film is Anderson’s first since Monster Hunter in late 2020..
