With all of the hype surrounding the Fast And Furious franchise amid its global success, it’s easy to forget that actor Vin Diesel is, all for intents and purposes, an actor with his hands in other various properties. Such is the case with his latest role as an immortal witch hunter battling his way through New York City’s demonic throes in the new thriller, The Last Witch Hunter.
Suffice it to say that his screen personas in Dom Torretto, Riddick and even xXx aren’t going away anytime soon as long as Diesel‘s career remains prominent, which isn’t really that all hard any more. Nonetheless, it’s great to see him pivot towards something different, and I can’t imagine anyone by-and-large saying no to watching Diesel battle cinematic evil in all its forms.
Alas, the good and kind folks at MTV spent their Wednesday rolling out the fresh new poster and a brand new teaser for the film which releases on October 23 from Lionsgate/Summit. The Crazies helmer Breck Eisner directs from a script by Melisa Wallack with fight coordinator Jonathan Eusebio designing the action, and you can read more about him in my latest interview by clicking here.
