Based on a short story by George R.R. Martin, upcoming fantasy movie In the Lost Lands includes one of Martin’s most interesting characters, a sorceress named Grey Alys with a rich history behind her, so much so star Milla Jovovich and director Paul W.S Anderson want to explore her story further – and so does Martin.
"I would love to delve more into Grey Alys, and Paul and I talk about it all the time," says Jovovich to GamesRadar+. "We've talked so much about, like, her origins, and where she came from, and what is the curse, and how did she get it. I mean, there's so many questions."
When asked why they chose to adapt In the Lost Lands over Martin’s other works, Anderson says "George had written a fairy tale that was dark and was for adults, and that to me was really exciting." Similarly, Jovovich adds that "the ability to create something beautiful out of [the short story]" was a big selling point for her. That and the fact she is an "avid" Martin fan herself.
However, Jovovich and Anderson may have to wait a little longer as Martin is currently in the middle of writing the next Game of Thrones book, The Winds of Winter. But with the sixth novel in Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series still out of sight, we can’t see the author penning a Lost Lands sequel anytime soon.
