Harper and Melisa Wallack… Here’s hoping the resulting brew doesn’t suffer from the ol’ too many cooks problem. Starring: Vin Diesel,Rose Leslie,Elijah Wood. A casting call was recently released seeking men, women and children to work as paid background actors in the upcoming movie. The rest of the Witch Hunter cast includes Elijah Wood, Michael Caine and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, with Breck Eisner preparing to call the shots from a script that began life with a Cory Goodman pitch that was subsequently re-written by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama. When a powerful coven aims to unleash a deadly plague on New York, an immortal witch hunter, a priest and a young witch must thwart the lethal plan. According to IMDB, 'The Last Witch Hunter' centers on the last remaining witch hunter as he battles against an uprising of witches in modern day New York. To stop her, Diesel’s character must join forces with Rose Leslie’s witch, who decides to do the right thing instead of cackling about eye of newt. Diesel will be an immortal witch hunter who catches up with his nemesis in present-day New York as she gathers the city’s covens to cook up her diabolical plan. The actress, cast following a global search, is set to play the Witch Queen, a nasty villain planning to unleash terrible evil upon mankind.
Now here comes Julie Engelbrecht to represent Germany. The Last Witch Hunter already has something of an international flavour to its cast, with American and British actors aboard behind lead Vin Diesel.
