Vin Diesel can always be counted on to save the world, sometimes even the entire galaxy as a talking a raccoon. But little did you know that he's been saving our collective butts for centuries by destroying covens as The Last Witch Hunter, and a new trailer for the action flick has debuted online.
Directed by Breck Eisner and co-starring Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones), Michael Caine, and Elijah Wood, the film stars Diesel as an immortal hunter who must team with a good witch (her name's not Glinda, though) to stop an evil coven from destroying humanity with their flying brooms. Or something like that.
Here's the 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.
The Last Witch Hunter opens October 23rd.
