Today KAULDER is the only one of his kind remaining, and has spent centuries hunting down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost loved ones. In the moments right before her death, the QUEEN curses KAULDER with her own immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter in the afterlife.

The Last Witch Hunter arrives October 23, 2015. There's something deeply satisfying about the idea of Diesel, a D&D nerd at heart, playing a fantastical ancient warrior. The premise has shades of I, Frankenstein and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, though The Last Witch Hunters looks less ridiculous than either of them.Īll that said, The Last Witch Hunter also looks pretty entertaining.
There's a bit of Riddick in Diesel's weary warrior character, and a dash of Game of Thrones between the presence of Rose Leslie and what looks like a weirwood tree. The trailer plays like a mash-up of various other properties. MTV unveiled The Last Witch Hunter trailer and poster. Four new films, including Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension and Vin Diesel’s The Last Witch Hunter, crowded into theaters. When historys deadliest witches resurrect their bloodthirsty Queen Witch, Kaulder becomes humanitys last hope as he clashes with the.
Watch the first The Last Witch Hunter trailer after the jump. Vin Diesel is Kaulder, an immortal witch hunter who has spent centuries tracking down those who practice evil magic. Immortal and kind of unhappy about it, Diesel's Kaulder is locked in a centuries-long battle against a witch queen ( Julie Engelbrecht) who wants to unleash a plague on humanity. Fortunately, he's got some help in the form of Rose Leslie, of Game of Thrones and Downton Abbey fame. Furious 7 was a record-breaking success, but to paraphrase that old Biblical saying, man cannot live on Fast and Furious movies alone. So Vin Diesel is shaking things up a bit with The Last Witch Hunter, in which he plays - yup - the last witch hunter.
