Universal Pictures has released the first full trailer for Mortal Engines, based on the young-adult novel, and produced by Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings). Taking place thousands of years after an event called the “Sixty Minute War,” the planet has suffered extreme losses but humankind still roams the earth on gigantic mobile cities, with London being the largest.
The film stars Hera Hilmar as Hester Shaw, a young girl seeking revenge against Thaddeus Valentine (Hugo Weaving) over the death of her mother, eventually uncovering a conspiracy that could shift the balance of power across the Earth.
