Thanks to Transmission Films, hereās the official trailer of The Dead Lands, the upcoming action movie directed by Toa Fraser based on a script by Glenn Standring:
THE DEAD LANDS
āIn New Zealand, long before the colonization, Hongi (James Rolleston) ā a Maori chieftainās teenage son ā must avenge his fatherās murder in order to bring peace and honour to the souls of his loved ones after his tribe is slaughtered through an act of treachery. Vastly outnumbered by a band of villains, led by WÄ«repa (Te Kohe TÅ«haka), Hongiās only hope is to pass through the feared and forbidden Dead Lands and forge an uneasy alliance with the mysterious āWarriorā (Lawrence Makoare), a ruthless fighter who has ruled the area for years.ā
Thereās also an official poster:
Where the warrior spirit was born.
The whole thing kind of reminds me of Mel Gibsonās āApocalyptoā (ā>check out the trailer). Fortunately the barbaric ways of old have been abandoned! Anyway, looks like a great film!
By the way, the actors from the film are mixed-race, arenāt they?
The film has yet to get an official release date.
