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.
Going from December’s teaser to this trailer, 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.
Mortal Engines is released in the UK on December 14th.
