The wait is finally over, Tarsem Singh’s IMMORTALS is finally out in theaters today. If you still aren’t sold on checking this out or need a bit more incentive, we have a new feature that just might help.
This one is a behind the scenes video, all about Tarsems’s vision. If you have seen any of his previous films you’ll know the man works with visuals and they basically become a character of their own. Ever wondered what makes him tick or why this film looks the way it does? Well check out the video, and maybe go see the film.
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. 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 comes forth as their only hope. 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.
The film features an all-star cast including Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz, Isabel Lucas (below), Freida Pinto, Joseph Morgan and Stephen Dorff.
