    The film does not have a release date yet. The synopsis follows:

    Earth's natural resources have been exhausted by mankind and battle rages between the soldiers of four leading Corporations: the Capitol, Bauhaus, Mishima and Imperial.

    Mitch Hunter and Nathan Rooker, battle hardened Capitol soldiers, fight a desperate battle against a Bauhaus advance. When an errant shell destroys an ancient stone seal, they find themselves facing a new enemy: hideous necrmutants, with boneblades that grow from their arms. Mithc barely manages to escape. Nathan does not.

    The mutants multiply by millions and they destroy all before them. The Corporations' leader, Constantine, is about to abandon the planet and leave countless innocents to their desperate fate, when he is approached by Brother Samuel, leader of the Brotherhood, and ancient monastic order

    Samuel is keep of the Chronicles, a book that prophesies both the rise of the Mutants, and the 'Deliverer' that will destroy them. Samuel believes he is that Deliverer destined to journey deep into the earth and destroy the source of the mutant scourge.

    He manages to recruit Mitch, along with a handful of like-minded soldiers: Steiner, honor bound Bauhaus officer; sword wielding Severian; street fighter El Jesus; fearless beauty Duval; and stoic warrior Juba.

    So is this a MARVEL property then? Looks interesting... Kinda like a Magneto/Wolverine WWII take. It says the Brotherhood though so I'm assuming its MARVEL...?

    We’re turning the corner on Mutant Chronicles. We didn’t like early drafts of the script, but the producers of the film (notably Ed Pressman) managed to reign in Ron Pearlman, Thomas Jane, and John Malkovich, so we had to think twice about panning something based on an old draft of a script.

    We haven’t read the current draft, but the trailer Thomas Jane personally released last week wasn’t the most impressive thing we’ve ever seen.

    The new Russian trailer, on the other hand, has some real meat to it

    Things we will shed some light on (spoilers):

    - You see the steam-punk/WWII themed images, and you also see one of the Mutants within the first 7 seconds.

    -Ron Pearlman plays a priest who urges the leader of one of the five companies (Malkovich!) ruling the world (at some point the world was divided into companies) to fight the mutant scourge rather than abandon Earth for the stars.

    -Thomas Jane is a solider.

    - Pay attention to all the silhouette shots of a chained Mutant. That Mutant is a key plot device.

    - The falling object seen around 1:04 might be one of the major problems Dave had with the third act of the early script.

    - Does Tom Jayne shoot another human? Yup, and it’s a “hero” moment
