#HOLLYWOOD MOVIE THE LAST WITCH HUNTER PATCH#
Eight hundred years later, Kaulder has become one of those true New Yorkers who takes pride in knowing what everything used to be, except in this case he remembers when the Duane Reade on the corner was a patch of cornfield. Kaulder sets his sword magickally afire and runs her through, but before she dies, she curses him with immortality. The Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrecht) has a Gigeresque ponytail of spinal-column bones and lives in a tree that pulses with malevolent life. (They might as well have called this one The Last Witch Hunter 1.) Breck Eisner, of the California Eisners, directs Diesel stars as Kaulder, seen here first as a 13th-century warrior with a braided Battlefield Earth beard and a Macklemore Mohawk, leading his fellow Knights of the Axe and Cross through a snowy wasteland to put the hurt on a witch they blame for the Black Plague.
#HOLLYWOOD MOVIE THE LAST WITCH HUNTER TV#
Hence The Last Witch Hunter, a feature film that feels like a longish TV pilot, or like the prequel to the Witch Hunter sequel that Diesel told his Facebook fans the studio was “already commencing” back in June. Nobody liked it, and 2013’s back-to-badass-basics sequel Riddick dialed the world-building way down, but it’s clear that Diesel still wants a sprawling multi-film fantasy franchise to call his own, and that voicing a tree with a three-word vocabulary in endless Guardians of the Galaxy sequels isn’t going to scratch that itch. His Vinnermost desires came through the clearest in 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick, a dumb but deeply felt attempt to expand the Pitch Black universe into a Star Wars or Lord of the Rings–style mega-mythology involving an interstellar death cult called the Necromongers and their quest for an interdimensional Valhalla called the Underverse. Diesel may still be built like the nightclub bouncer he once was, but deep down, in the android’s dungeon of his heart, he’s a huge nerd, with a nerd’s passion for encyclopedically detailed fictional universes. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion it was also the name that Diesel gave his all-time favorite Dungeons & Dragons player-character, a dark elf who specialized in - wait for it - hunting witches. Melkor was the name of a Lucifer-like fallen-angel figure in J.R.R. In 2002’s xXx, Vin Diesel’s extreme athlete turned superspy alter ego Xander Cage had the word MELKOR tattooed across his lower abdomen.
