Final Fantasy film announced – Kingsglaive

Square Enix has announced a Final Fantasy film title Kingsglaive at the Final Fantasy Uncovered event on 30 March, IGN reports.

The CGI film will be set in the Final Fantasy universe and will feature actors Sean Bean and Lena Headey from Game of Thrones, along with Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad.

Kingsglaive is being produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment and will be released in 2016, sometime before the release of Final Fantasy XV.

Here is the synopsis provided by Sony:

King Regis of Lucis commands an elite force of soldiers dubbed the Kingsglaive. Wielding their king’s magic, Nyx Ulric and his fellow glaives stand before the crown city of Insomnia, fighting to stay the inexorable advance of Niflheim’s imperial army.

Before the overwhelming military might of the empire, King Regis can only salvage his kingdom by accepting an ultimatum—he must cede all lands outside the crown city, and see his son, Prince Noctis, wed to Lady Lunafreya, the former princess of Tenebrae now captive of Niflheim.

As the war of wills rages, the machinations of Niflheim transform Insomnia into an awe-inspiring battleground, pulling Nyx into a struggle for the very survival of the kingdom.

The film will not feature in cinemas, but will be available for download and streaming online.
