Dallas Buyers Club writer Melisa Wallack has been tapped to do a polish on Summit Entertainment’s The Last Witch Hunter.
Cory Goodman and D.W. Harper wrote previous drafts of the film that will star Vin Diesel. Breck Eisner is directing.
The story centers on an immortal witch hunter (Diesel) who partners with his natural enemy, a female witch, to stop the covens of New York City from unleashing a plague on humanity.
