What happens when “300” and “Clash of the Titans” have a love child? It looks like you get “Immortals”, the new fantasy film directed by Tarsem Singh (“The Cell”). I’m still not totally sold on this film, it all feels a little like I’ve seen it before but I will say that the film sure is pretty. If nothing else, it will also give us a good look at the future Superman, Henry Cavill, in full action mode.
The film stars Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, John Hurt, Luke Evans, Stephen Dorff, Isabel Lucas and Freida Pinto. It opens on the 11th of November 2011. Watch the trailer below.
According to /Film, the “Immortals” plot is:
Eons after the Gods won their mythic struggle against the Titans, a new evil threatens the land. Mad with power, King Hyperion has declared war against humanity. Amassing a bloodthirsty army of soldiers disfigured by his own hand, Hyperion has scorched Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares.
Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes. Rallying a band of fellow outsiders–including visionary priestess Phaedra and cunning slave Stavros — one hero will lead the uprising, or watch his homeland fall into ruin and his Gods vanish into legend.
