In the Lost Lands has landed second place on the Netflix movie charts in the UK and Ireland.
According to the tale titled similarly by renowned author George R. R. Martin (known for “Game of Thrones“), this fantasy movie was masterfully directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. The film features Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista, who has gained popularity with his role in “Guardians of the Galaxy.
Blade‘s Arly Jover, Andor‘s Amara Okereke and Yardie‘s Fraser James round out the cast.
In a future where Earth has become a desolate dystopia, the movie centers around Boyce, portrayed by Bautista, who is a skilled hunter. He’s summoned by a woman with magical abilities named Gray Alys, played by Jovovich, on a mission to locate a werewolf and seize its power for their queen, represented by Okereke.
The film was praised by The Daily Beast as a “beautifully eccentric B-movie,” with the reviewer stating that for “unfiltered, hardcore nerdiness,” it has few modern counterparts.
In the realm known as The Lost Lands, a place currently rated at 23% on Rotten Tomatoes, seems to have garnered both positive and negative feedback from reviewers.
From a favorable perspective, Slant Magazine remarked that: “The movie offers Paul W.S. Anderson an robust backdrop to showcase his flamboyantly stylish, cheesy charm.
Simultaneously, The New York Times characterized “In the Lost Lands” as a worn-out film scarcely resembling a concept, while The Guardian labeled it a movie with weak character development, uninteresting plot progression, and mediocre visual effects of moderate budget.
Even though I haven’t seen it yet, it seems like everyone’s talking about “In the Lost Lands” being a hit on Netflix. Looks like I need to add it to my queue and give it a try!
Discussing how he became part of the project, Anderson (who is married to Jovovich) shared with Screen Slate that he learned about George through Jovovich, as she is an avid fan of fantasy. In fact, she is a big fan of George and has read all his books.
She paid close attention to George, and later, she got contacted by my colleague Constantin Werner, who owned the rights to three short stories penned by George. These stories were ‘In the Lost Lands’, ‘The Solitary Melodies of Laren Dorr’, and ‘Bitterblooms’.
When Mila exclaimed, ‘Wow, that’s George! You might want to discuss this with Constantin Werner. Perhaps we should take part ourselves,’ it marked a significant starting point for me.
In The Lost Lands is currently available to stream on Netflix.
