A simple family man (Jason Statham) is forced to take up arms after an evil sorcerer (Ray Liotta) unleashes an army of bloodthirsty beasts that destroy his small village and capture his beautiful wife (Claire Forlani). As the marauding forces overrun the land in an effort to overthrow the king (Burt Reynolds) and his loyal magus (John Rhys-Davies), the once peace-loving peasant and his two companions (Ron Perlman and Will Sanderson) venture into perilous, uncharted terrain on a daring rescue mission. In this breathtaking fantasy adventure, director Uwe Boll conjures up a medieval world filled with royal treachery, dark magic and spectacular battles, all set against some of the most awe-inspiring vistas ever captured on film.

How does he get these casts for his films?
I soooo pictured you saying that like Nicholson in Batman….
‘Where does he get those wonderful toys?’
Here here! Uwe Boll is such a joke in the industry, how in God’s name does he get such good actors?
He lies in waiting for them between projects, saying “Here’s ‘X’ amount of money for eight days of shooting.”
Oh, and I call dibs on this one, if no one has already.
