The movie ‘Immortals’ will hit the screens on 11th November 2011. We will be taken through a great story involving vengeance, treachery and destiny by the director Tarsem Singh (also director of The Fall and The Cell). This magnificent and classy 3D movie displays thrilling action adventure. The main stars of ‘Immortals’ are Superman Henry Cavill, beautiful Indian Freida Pinto, the fine-looking Twilight fame Kellan Lutz and Mickey Rourke. This cast will certainly make this movie successful.
Many centuries following the Gods’ victory over their battle against the Titans, another evil now threatens to come upon the land. Crazy with the power he possess, King Hyperion (played by Mickey Rourke) has raged a war against all humanity. Gathering an army of soldiers who were disfigured by the King himself and bloodthirsty, he has looked everywhere in Greece seeking the famous Epirus Bow; this bow is known to be a weapon of incredible power forged by Ares in the heavens. It is only the person who has possession of this bow that can let the Titans loose; the Titans have been held captive buried within the Mount Tartaros walls since the beginning of time and is now thirsty for revenge. If the king gets possession of the bow he would cause destruction to come upon mankind and totally destroy the Gods. But as ancient law commands, Gods should not get involved in the conflict between men. They have no power to stop Hyperion…then Theseus (played by Henry Cavill), a peasant emerged as their one hope. He was very discreetly chosen by the god, Zeus and expected to save the lives of his people from King Hyperion and his multitude. Getting together a group of fellows from outside – which include priestess and visionary Phaedra (played by Freida Pinto) as well as sneaky slave Stavros (played by Stephen Dorff), this one hero will either successfully lead the rebellion or stand by and look at his homeland being destroyed and his Gods fade away into legend.
Theseus meets with the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra whose troubling visions regarding the future of the young man prove to her that he is the key to stopping the devastation. With the help of Phaedra, he gathers a small group of and accepts his destiny in a last and desperate fight for humanity’s the future.
From looking at the teaser trailer I can let you know that brutality exists, but it is not hyper-masculine. No one will scream out the name of their hometown and toss someone into a bottomless pit. Rather you will notice the lovely, striking visuals that Singh has become popular for from his earlier films The Fall and The Cell.
People should really accept the idea of young and handsome-looking gods a fair chance. A famous conception of Greek gods is that they are insignificant and vain so it makes absolute sense that they would look beautiful and young in Immortals. I find the thoughtfulness behind the decision of how to present the gods encouraging. I am hopeful that as there is no doubt that Immortals will look splendid, there will be nice-looking madness.
