Peter Jackson's 'Mortal Engines' Gets December 2018 Release Date
Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, the duo behind the entire Middle Earth saga, are bringing their prowess back to the big screen with Mortal Engines, which is based on the award-winning sci-fi novels by Philip Reeve.
The film is set to release on December 14, 2018, Universal has revealed. This now puts it just a week ahead of what looks to be Avatar 2's official release date.
The story is set in a dystopian future where Earth's cities roam the globe on huge wheels, battling each other for what little resources remain. Two unlikely heroes come together to change the course of the future.
Jackson and Walsh co-wrote the script with Philippa Boyens, another Lord of the Rings collaborator.
