The trailer for Man and Witch: The Dance of a Thousand Steps suggests that the film is a fun fantasy romp, where a man goes to a witch to ask her to give him a wife, and the witch gives him three impossible tasks to do before she grants him his wish (which, I’m guessing, is that the two get together).
Here’s the official synopsis:
Tami Stronach, the iconic Childlike Empress in The NeverEnding Story (celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year), makes her long-awaited return to the big screen in the new fantasy film Man and Witch: The Dance of a Thousand Steps. When a lonely goatherd discovers that he has been cursed at birth to never take a wife, he makes a bargain with a reclusive witch to reverse the spell, only to find that if he can’t complete her three impossible tasks, he will never find true love.
In addition to Stronach, Man and Witch stars her real-life husband Greg Steinbruner as her co-lead, as well as Sean Astin, Christopher Lloyd, Eddie Izzard, Jennifer Saunders, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Michael Emerson, Bill Bailey, Daniel Portman, Stuart Bowman, and Martha West. It’s directed by Michael Hines and written by Steinbruner.
That’s quite an A-list supporting cast!
The film will be in theaters nationally only for a short time, on July 28 and July 30, 2024. You can learn more about the movie by heading to ManAndWitch.com.
