One of the most anticipated movies of the fall is visionary director Tarsem Singh’s (The Cell, The Fall) new Greek mythology film Immortals. While the teaser trailer for the film won’t hit theaters until the release of Thor on May 6, 2011, it’s online now. Here’s more about the film:
Eons after the Gods won their mythic struggle against the Titans, a new evil threatens the land. Mad with power, King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) 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. Only he who possesses this bow can unleash the Titans, who have been imprisoned deep within the walls of Mount Tartaros since the dawn of time and thirst for revenge. In the king’s hands, the bow would rain destruction upon mankind and annihilate the Gods. But ancient law dictates the Gods must not intervene in man’s conflict. They remain powerless to stop Hyperion…until a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) comes forth as their only hope. Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes…
Actress Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) is in the film as Phaedra the Oracle, a priestess who joins Theseus on his quest. The film hits theaters on 11.11.11.
