A Prophecy Comes Alive, and Confuses Everyone, in This Exclusive Clip from Saban's The Secret Kingdom

Saban has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive first look at a scene from the upcoming family adventure fantasy, The Secret Kingdom. The film, which centers on a pair of siblings who find a magical land buried beneath their bedroom floor, has some of the tropes that you would find in The Lion, the Witch, the the Wardrobe or Labyrinth, giving it a sense of scope and asking the audience to buy into a strange, new universe from filmmaker Matt Drummond, a visual effects veteran best known for his work on My Pet Dinosaur and Dinosaur Island.

The Secret Kingdom was written and directed by Drummond. The film stars Sam Everingham, Alyla Browne, Alice Parkinson, Chris Gabardi, Darius Williams, and Beth Champion. 

You can see it above. In it, you get to see a bit about what the movie's high concept is: a pair of children who are prophesized leaders of a subterranean society populated by anthropomorphic animals, including a very talktive one who explains the prophecy to him.

Produced by Matt and Alice Drummond, whose previous films include popular Spielbergian-style fantasy films My Pet Dinosaur (2017) and Dinosaur Island (2014), The Secret Kingdom was filmed down under with a cast that includes Alyla Browne, known for playing Nicole Kidman's daughter in ''Nine Perfect Strangers'' and for her roles in George Miller's Three Thousand Years of Longing and the Children of the Corn remake, Alice Parkinson (X-Men Origins : Wolverine, Sanctum), Darius Williams ("Home & Away"), and Christopher Gabardi (Drummond's My Pet Dinosaur), The Secret Kingdom is tipped to be a new family favorite among those who love The Never-Ending Story and Labyrinth.  

Saban Films recent credits include The Old Way, starring Nicolas Cage; Supercell with Skeet Ulrich; Assassin, the final film for the now retired Bruce Willis; and The Best Man starring Dolph Lundgren and Luke Wilson, released in April.
