Watch the trailer Peter Jackson's new film 'Mortal Engines'

It's the first look at a Peter Jackson film since his Hobbit trilogy finished - and fans say they aren't disappointed.

A teaser trailer for Mortal Engines, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi film shot in New Zealand and starring Irish actor Robert Sheehan and Iceland's Hera Hilmar, landed today.

From Universal Pictures, Mortal Engines is set in a world thousands of years after civilisation was destroyed where gigantic moving cities roam the earth.

Jackson is co-producing the film, which is based on Philip Reeves' Mortal Engines book, while Kiwi director Christian Rivers is behind the camera.
