Director Steven Kostanski (Frankie Freako, PG: Psycho Goreman) reboots Roger Corman’s cult favorite with new movie Deathstalker, and Bloody Disgusting has learned that Shout! Studios will be bringing the sword-and-sorcery film to theaters on October 10.
Daniel Bernhardt (John Wick, Nobody, Barry) stars as the warrior Deathstalker in what’s being described as “a newly reimagined installment of the cult sword and sorcery series.”
Exclusively check out the official poster for the Deathstalker reboot below!
Here’s the official synopsis: “The Kingdom of Abraxeon is under siege from The Dreadites, a mysterious horde of warriors, whose sudden appearance are rumoured to foretell the return of Nekromemnon, an ancient sorcerer long thought dead. Such times of chaos are times of fortune for men like Deathstalker, who, having broken ties with all guilds and banners, now ekes an existence from the spoils recovered in the wake of Dreadite attacks.
“Our story begins when Deathstalker unknowingly recovers an enchanted amulet from a corpse-ridden battlefield and finds himself cursed by an arcane magick. Now pursued by a monstrous clan of assassins at the behest of the Dreadite scourge, Deathstalker is forced into a perilous quest to reverse the curse and rid the realm of evil.”
Patton Oswalt (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) voices benevolent wizard Doodad.
Steven Kostanski’s big screen reboot focuses on the fantasy setting, utilizing creature suits, prosthetic FX make-up and stop-motion animation from his Action Pants FX shop.
