Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin had high praise for Resident Evil director’s take on his fantasy short story, saying it “captures his voice better than anyone had in an adaptation before”

One of George R.R. Martin’s short stories is getting the big screen treatment in Paul W. S. Anderson’s In the Lost Lands. The fantasy action movie, which stars Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista, tells the story of a witch and a hunter who head on a dangerous journey to find an artifact for a queen.

Resident Evil director says in the new issue of SFX magazine, which features the 30 greatest shows of the SFX era on the cover and hits newsstands on February 26, that he felt the pressure to impress Martin. However, thankfully, the Game of Thrones author had high praise for the new take on his works.
