Vin Diesel is the star of what is currently the biggest film of 2015, Furious 7, but does this mean he is now a legit box office draw? I guess we’ll find out just what kind of draw he is on Oct. 23 when his new film, The Last Witch Hunter, hits theaters as he plays Kaulder, the last remaining witch hunter as he battles against an uprising of witches in modern day New York.
Here’s the plot:
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 (Diesel), 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.
Directed by Breck Eisner (The Crazies), the film co-stars Rose Leslie (“Game of Thrones”) along with Michael Caine, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Elijah Wood and Lotte Verbeek.
