Mortal Engines takes place many years after the “Sixty Minute War,” where cities survive a now-desolate Earth by moving around on giant wheels attacking and devouring smaller towns to replenish their resources.
Just watching this teaser, you know Peter Jackson‘s involved, even if it’s just a producer and co-screenwriter role rather than director. It also says it’s the start of a new saga, so get ready for a trilogy? Either way, while I don’t know the novel, it looks well cool.
You have a wait for Mortal Engines, however, as it’s not due to be released in the UK until December 14th, 2018.
Director: Christian Rivers
Screenplay: Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh (based on the novel by Philip Reeve)
