The fantasy actioner "The Last Witch Hunter" opens today in theaters, so here are two clips, a sizzle reel and three new posters. While the clips are pretty action-packed, I liked the sizzle reel more. The song featured is Ciara's cover of The Rolling Stones' "Paint It, Black", and it works quite well with the dark imagery.
The film wasn't a big hit with critics, quite the opposite. Bad and overused CGI, pointless exposition working out a cheesy plot and an uneven performance from star Vin Diesel were the reasons reviewers couldn't enjoy it, and the Boston Herald's review actually asks the big question: "When did Vin Diesel start making Nic Cage movies ?"
Directed by Breck Eisner ("The Crazies"), the film also stars Elijah Wood, Julie Engelbrecht, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson and Michael Caine.
Check out the clips, sizzle reel and posters after the jump.
Official Synopsis
"The modern world holds many secrets, but the most astounding secret of all is that witches still live amongst us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world. Armies of witch hunters battled the unnatural enemy across the globe for centuries, including KAULDER, a valiant warrior who managed to slay the all-powerful QUEEN WITCH, decimating her followers in the process. 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. 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. However, unbeknownst to KAULDER, the QUEEN WITCH is resurrected and seeks revenge on her killer causing an epic battle that will determine the survival of the human race."
