If you go by The Playlist‘s description of some footage that premiered from Immortals over the weekend at Empire’s Big Screen convention you may have already lost all interest in this film as Oliver Lyttelton writes:
Tarsem’s Immortals, however, looks like kind of a train wreck. We saw an action sequence featuring Luke Evans’ Zeus and his group of yellow power rangers facing off against…some…grey…things? It’s cartoonishly gory in a way reminiscent of video game “God of War,” immaculately framed, and deathly dull. And from the new trailer we were shown, the performances look awful; lifeless and airless.
People seemed turned off by this film from the minute that first trailer debuted and I haven’t seen an uptick in interest since. Tell me, does this latest trailer change your mind or are has it simply lost your interest?
On 11/11/11, witness the 3-D epic battle as mere men become Immortals. 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. Rallying a band of fellow outsiders–including visionary priestess Phaedra (Freida Pinto) and cunning slave Stavros (Stephen Dorff) — one hero will lead the uprising, or watch his homeland fall into ruin and his Gods vanish into legend.
