Wicked Cool Trailer For The Fantasy Action Film KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC
Over the weekend at WonderCon, a new trailer was released for the fantasy action film Knights of the Zodiac, which is a live-action adaptation of the 1986 manga, and it’s pretty awesome! This looks like it’s going to be a wildly fun movie that is filled with some wicked cool visuals. I’m actually really excited about this movie!
The movie was directed by The Witcher’s Tomasz Bagiński, and it has a great cast that includes Madison Iseman, Mackenyu, Famke Janssen, Mark Dacascos, and Sean Bean.
The best-selling fantasy manga series incorporates aspects of Greek mythology into its story, and in it, the Greek goddess Athena is locked into a centuries-long war with other members of her family, who are all looking to take control of the planet. Athena ends up being reincarnated into the body of a young girl named Sienna.
In the film: “Seiya (Mackenyu), a headstrong street teen, spends his time fighting for cash while he searches for his abducted sister. When one of his fights unwittingly taps into mystical powers he never knew he had, Seiya finds himself thrust into a world of warring saints, ancient magical training, and a reincarnated goddess who needs his protection. If he’s to survive, he will need to embrace his destiny and sacrifice everything to take his rightful place among the Knights of the Zodiac.”
Knights of the Zodiac will be released in theaters on May 12th.
