The movie "The Last Witch Hunter" was released in 2015 and featured a talented ensemble cast. Vin Diesel, known for his roles in the "Fast and Furious" franchise, took on the lead role of Kaulder, the immortal witch hunter. Diesel brought his signature intensity and physicality to the character, portraying him as a tough and determined warrior dedicated to eradicating evil. Rose Leslie, who gained fame for her role as Ygritte in "Game of Thrones," played the role of Chloe, a good witch who assists Kaulder in his mission. Leslie's performance added a touch of vulnerability and humanity to the story, contrasting with Diesel's stoic portrayal. Elijah Wood, known for his role as Frodo Baggins in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, portrayed Dolan 37th, a young priest who helps Kaulder navigate the modern world.

Elijah Wood has joined Lionsgate‘s supernatural action film The Last Witch Hunter.

The Lord of the Rings alum will star with Vin Diesel, Michael Caine and Game of Thrones actress Rose Leslie in director Breck Eisner’s thriller. The film centers on an immortal witch hunter (Diesel) who partners with a witch to stop New York City’s covens from unleashing a plague on the city.

Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama (Dracula Untold, Gods of Egypt) wrote the screenplay from a pitch by Cory Goodman. D.W. Harper and Melisa Wallack also contributed to the script.

Mark Canton, Bernie Goldmann and Diesel are producing, and Samantha Vincent of One Race and Adam Goldworm are executive producing. Production is set to begin later this month.

Lionsgate will release the film in North America through its Summit Entertainment banner. Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-president Erik Feig, Summit president of production Geoff Shaevitz and Lionsgate vp production & development Matthew Janzen are overseeing the project for Lionsgate. Lionsgate evp business affairs Robert Melnik negotiated the deal on behalf of the studio.

Wood was most recently seen in the Damien Chazelle-scripted Grand Piano and currently appears on the final season of FX’s Wilfred. With his horror-thriller label SpectreVision, he is also a producer of the upcoming horror comedy Cooties, which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and in which he co-stars, and the serial killer drama The Boy.

He is repped by WME, Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Stone, Meyer, Genow, Smelkinson and Binder.

The Last Witch Hunter

The modern world holds many secrets, but by far the most astounding is that witches still live among us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world and putting an end to the human race once and for all. Armies of witch hunters have battled this unnatural enemy for centuries, including Kaulder, a valiant warrior who many years ago slayed the all-powerful Witch Queen, decimating her followers in the process. In the moments right before her death, the Queen cursed Kaulder with immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter. Today, Kaulder is the last living hunter who has spent his immortal life tracking down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost family.

Elijah Wood, known for his role as Frodo Baggins in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, portrayed Dolan 37th, a young priest who helps Kaulder navigate the modern world. Wood's performance brought a sense of innocence and support to Kaulder, becoming a trusted ally. Michael Caine, a legendary actor known for his work in films like "The Dark Knight" trilogy and "The Italian Job," played the role of Dolan 36th, Kaulder's mentor and advisor.

Popular reviews

I posted a picture of the Blu-ray on my Instagram story and I literally have never gotten more excited DMs about any picture of any movie I have ever put on there. And I . kind of get it?

i would pay a billion dollars to never hear michael caine's nasty wet voice ever again and another billion to replace everyone else's voice with vin diesel's

“The world still needs you. I need you.”

I know Vin Diesel is balls deep in that dungeons and dragons shit, but did he even read the script? I bet the conversation with his agent went something like this. Agent: We have a new script for you to look at, it's called "The Last Witch Hunter" but.. Vin: I'll do it Agent: Are you sure you don't want to look over the script? Vin: It's about Witches and I'm balls deep in that dungeons and dragons shit Agent: Ok Vin but it's more of modern day fantasy with Witches kind of thrown in. No dragons at all. Vin: So it's like Shadowrun? Great I'm still in.

A horror fantasy with enough action and chills to, at least, mildly satisfy, Breck Eisner's "The Last Witch Hunter" is an engaging genre mishmash. Starring Vin Diesel as a tracker of the dangerous and demonic, the film supplies disposable but capable entertainment. With Diesel as a witch hunter cursed with immortality, "The Last Witch Hunter" focuses on his exploits in both the past and present. Attempting to snuff out a neverending source of evil, the hunter allies himself with a capable team to rid the modern age of a scourge from the past. Eisner, working with a sturdy cast, fashions an epic of swords and the supernatural. The film moves quickly, combining moments of horror with stretches of action-oriented fantasy…

Unashamedly nerdy and full of earnest fantasy nonsense and freaky imagery. The sight of Vin Diesel smashing his way through a giant bone monster is one I will not soon forget.

really wish vin diesel only ever made incredibly nerdy shit about councils using his body as a weapon to do their bidding when all he wants to do is live laugh love. also it took me several watches to figure out that the relationship between him & the witch isn't actually supposed to have romantic vibes, it's just literally impossible for him to stop flirting. my king. ❤❤

Director: Hey Vin, are you sure this story makes sense? Because, to me, it kinda seems like a story of plot holes set up by more plot holes and I think it might just end up being unintentionally hilarious." Vin Diesel: *death stare* Director: *takes another swig of whiskey*

It was totally worth it for the "twist" regarding Elijah Wood's character. Take that, M. Night! . seriously, what a pointless inclusion. It literally shocked me with how stupid it was. Nothing in this motion picture distinguishes itself from the countless action/fantasy knockoffs that get churned out by Hollywood on a consistent basis. And like the rest of them, it will fade into obscurity, never to be thought of again. Unless someone uses black magic and a sequel is made. *shivers*

Für mich ist die Definition eines Trash-Films spätestens dann erreicht, wenn ein langhaariger Vin Diesel mit Dreadlocks im Bart die Szene betritt.
Ein konstruierter und vorhersehbarer Plot mit leeren Figuren und Fokus auf lahme, scheincoole Hexerei-Action. Zwischendurch wird immer mal wieder ein ernstgemeintes Charakterdrama vorgegaukelt, das jedoch gänzlich scheitert.
Der Cast liefert hier auch keine schauspielerische Offenbarung. Vin Diesel hat eine coole Stimme. Michael Caine ist komplett verschwendet.
The Last Witch Hunter ist der typische Hot-Garbage-Blockbuster, der seinem Fantasy-Element nichts entlockt außer omnipräsenter, durchwachsener Special-Effects.

Caine's portrayal added gravitas and wisdom to the movie, grounding the fantastical elements in reality. Julie Engelbrecht took on the role of the villainous Witch Queen, a powerful and ancient sorceress hell-bent on revenge. Engelbrecht brought a menacing presence to the character, showcasing her ability to embody evil and darkness. The cast of "The Last Witch Hunter" successfully brought their characters to life, delivering compelling performances that added depth to the story. Their individual talents and chemistry on-screen created an engaging and entertaining film experience..

Reviews for "The Last Witch Hunter: Exploring the Emotional Journey of Vin Diesel's Character"

1. James - 1 out of 5 stars:

I found "Actors in the last witch hunter" to be extremely disappointing. The plot was extremely predictable and lacked any originality. The characters were poorly written and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with any of them. The acting was also subpar, with Vin Diesel delivering a lackluster performance. Overall, I felt like I wasted my time and money on this film and would not recommend it to anyone.

2. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars:

I had high hopes for "Actors in the last witch hunter" but was left feeling underwhelmed. The story had potential but the execution fell flat. The action sequences were repetitive and lacked any real excitement. Additionally, the dialogue was overly cheesy and forced, making it hard to take the film seriously. While the visuals were impressive, they were not enough to save the overall lackluster movie. I was left wishing for more substance and originality from this film.

3. Mike - 2.5 out of 5 stars:

I was expecting more from "Actors in the last witch hunter" considering the cast involved, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The story felt disjointed and rushed, leaving little time for character development. Vin Diesel's performance was average at best, lacking the charm and charisma that he usually brings to his roles. Additionally, the action sequences were repetitive and lacked any real thrill. Overall, I left the theater feeling underwhelmed and wishing for more substance from this film.
