As promised...Kaulder.

We already got a look at the full trailer for The Last Witch Hunter, but Vin Diesel has blessed us with an extra treat: a new teaser for his upcoming action fantasy film, featuring his glorious beard and a whole lot of fire. The latest sneak peek at Diesel’s new movie is actually kind of better than the full trailer, which properly introduced us to the plot but left little to the imagination.

Diesel posted the new teaser to his Facebook page, and it seems like the kind of thing they should have released before the full trailer — it builds up a sense of mystery and intrigue, while hinting at epic possibilities. If you’d just seen this teaser and knew nothing about the film, you’d be pretty stoked for it. Bearded Vin Diesel. Bearded Vin Diesel wielding an ax. Bearded Vin Diesel in bed with a lady. A snowy location that reminds you of Game of Thrones. What’s not to like?

Here’s the official synopsis:

An immortal witch hunter is tasked with the job of coming between the covens of New York City and their goal to destroy humanity by way of a horrific plague. In order to accomplish this he must partner up with a beautiful female witch, something that he thought he would never do.

The Last Witch Hunter was directed by Breck Eisner (The Crazies remake) and also stars Rose Leslie, Elijah Wood and Michael Caine, and hits theaters on October 23.
