43 Years Later, An Infamous Director is Adapting a Forgotten George R.R. Martin Story

Vertical

It’s been half a decade since Game of Thrones came to an end, but a patient few are still holding out for the true end to the epic fantasy. George R.R. Martin is trying hard to finish his A Song of Ice and Fire saga, but he’s been stuck on Winds of Winter — the penultimate novel in the series — since HBO first set out to adapt his work in 2010.

It may be some time before Thrones fans get Martin’s next book, but that hasn’t stopped anyone from finding other stories of his to adapt. HBO is hard at work building out a Thrones-centric franchise, with prequel series House of the Dragon and the upcoming A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. But the streamer isn’t the only one combing through Martin’s oeuvre for material. Paul W. S. Anderson — the filmmaker behind video game adaptations like Resident Evil and Monster Hunter — has set his sights on his next potential franchise. Based on Martin’s short story of the same name, In the Lost Lands sees Anderson reteaming with his wife and frequent collaborator Milla Jovovich, along with Dave Bautista, for a new adventure. Check out its first trailer below.
