The Dead Lands Movie Trailer

Thanks to Transmission Films, hereā€™s 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
Plot:
ā€œIn New Zealand, long before the colonization, Hongi (James Rolleston) ā€“ a Maori chieftainā€™s teenage son ā€“ must avenge his fatherā€™s 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), Hongiā€™s only hope is to pass through the feared and forbidden Dead Lands and forge an uneasy alliance with the mysterious ā€œWarriorā€ (Lawrence Makoare), a ruthless fighter who has ruled the area for years.ā€

Thereā€™s also an official poster:

THE DEAD LANDS

Where the warrior spirit was born.

The whole thing kind of reminds me of Mel Gibsonā€™s ā€œApocalyptoā€ (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, arenā€™t they?

The film has yet to get an official release date.
