George R.R. Martin’s First Film Adaptation, ‘In the Lost Lands,’ Set to Premiere
The fantasy movie, based on Martin's short story, stars Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista and explores a post-apocalyptic world of witches, werewolves, and dark consequences.
- ‘In the Lost Lands,’ directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, is the first feature film adaptation of a George R.R. Martin work and will hit theaters on March 7, 2025.
- The movie stars Milla Jovovich as Gray Alys, a powerful sorceress, and Dave Bautista as a nomadic drifter named Boyce, as they navigate a dangerous, supernatural world.
- The story, adapted from Martin's 1982 short story, blends post-apocalyptic, Western, and fantasy elements, with themes of magic, curses, and moral consequences.
- Director Anderson and the production team utilized advanced technology, including the Unreal Engine, to create an immersive and visually distinct cinematic world separate from Martin’s Westeros universe.
- Jovovich and Anderson have expressed interest in exploring potential sequels centered around Gray Alys, though this remains speculative as Martin is focused on completing 'The Winds of Winter.'
