Milla Jovovich is in final negotiations to star in "In the Lost Lands," a fantasy adventure movie based on short stories by "Game of Thrones" author George Rr Martin. Justin Chatwin (Dragonball: Evolution) is co-starring in the film, which will be directed by German director Constantin Werner (The Pagan Queen), who also wrote the script. The plan is to begin shooting in Germany later this year. "In the Lost Lands" will combine three female-centric Martin stories. In one short story, the desperate queen of a city built into a towering mountain hires the sorceress Gray Alys (Jovovich) to travel into the ghostly wasteland called the Lost Lands, to obtain the gift of shape-shifting into a werewolf, but she doesn.t realize that the fulfillment of her wish will come at a terrible price.

If you couldn’t get enough of George R.R. Martin on the big screen over the weekend with the IMAX showings of Game of Thrones, the author’s work is heading to theaters once again. According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog, a few of Martin’s short stories are being turned into a movie called In the Lost Lands, and Milla Jovovich is set to star. The title comes from one of the stories, originally published in 1982, which is being intertwined with 1976’s “The Lonely Songs of Laren Dorr” and 1977’s “Bitterblooms.” Interestingly, not all of these tales seem to be of likeminded fantasy. While the first two involve familiar elements to Got fans, like sorcery and dragons, the last contains space travel. It’s not entirely clear from the initial announcement, but I’m assuming Jovovich will play a role mashed together from main characters from each of these three stories, even...

Filmmaker Constantin Werner ("The Pagan Queen") is slated to helm from a script he adapted. The film will interconnect three female-centric Martin short stories into one narrative.
One follows the desperate queen of a mountain city who hires the sorceress Gray Alys (Jovovich) to travel into the ghostly wasteland called the Lost Lands to obtain the gift of shape-shifting into a werewolf. What she doesn’t realize is that the fulfillment of her wish will come at a terrible price.

I'm currently making my way through George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series (on which HBO's Game of Thrones is based), but since I haven't finished those books yet, I haven't taken the time to look into any other fiction that Martin has written over the years. Turns out he's also written a series of short stories, which THR reports is now being adapted into a film called In the Lost Lands. Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich is in final talks to lead the film, and she'll star along with Shameless actor Justin Chatwin. Here's the synopsis of the three interconnected short stories:
In one thread, the desperate queen of a city built into a towering mountain hires the sorceress Gray Alys (Jovovich) to travel into the ghostly wasteland called the Lost Lands, to obtain the gift of shape-shifting into a werewolf, but she doesn...
