So E! News got their grubby little paws on a bootleg teaser for Tarsem Singh’s IMMORTALS, and after watching it, I still can’t tell if the sword-and-sandal epic will prove to be a mere CLASH OF THE TITANS imitator or something better. What I can tell…Mickey Rourke in a thick goatee and spiked helmet is nothing to be trifled with. Ever.
I won’t spoil the rest of the first look, but suffice it to say Henry Cavill is getting all kinds of medieval on mothaf*ckers. Really, what beats a flaming whip?
Also starring Freida Pinto, Isabel Lucas (below), John Hurt, Kellan Lutz, Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, Joseph Morgan and Stephen McHattie – IMMORTALS centers on: A purported bastard who retains an allegiance to his mother despite the fact that he longs to join the quest of a king. He is battling demons in ancient Greece and later embarks on a grail of discovery that has him finding he is the king’s son and also fated to become his country’s greatest hero as he leads the successful war against long-imprisoned Titans who are hoping to use the demons to restore their power.
IMMORTALS comes to town November 11th. Check out the teaser ASAP, you never know if it’ll stick or the studio will want us to take it down.
