Deathstalker Remake Trailer Released Ahead October 10 Theatrical Launch

Steven Kostanski's remake of the cult 1983 sword-and-sorcery film Deathstalker, originally produced by Roger Corman, is set for theatrical release on October 10 via Shout! Studios. The film stars Daniel Bernhardt as Deathstalker, a warrior who, after unknowingly recovering a cursed amulet, must battle dark magick and monstrous assassins in the besieged Kingdom of Abraxeon. Executive produced by Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, who also contributes an original song, the movie features Patton Oswalt voicing a benevolent wizard and includes a score by Blitz/Berlin. Kostanski’s version promises a blend of practical gore, stop-motion animation, and creature effects, maintaining the campy and violent tone of the original while adding fresh humor and action. The trailer showcases over-the-top action, practical effects, and a classic sword-and-sorcery vibe, aiming to appeal both to fans of the original and new audiences. Deathstalker premiered at Locarno and will continue its festival run before wide release, positioning itself as a memorable example of modern cult fantasy cinema.
