The first full length trailer for director Tarsem Singh’s upcoming film, IMMORTALS, has recently been released and it features of a lot of CGI…like a lot of it. Knowing that this film is brought to us by the producers of 300 should give you an indication of the style of the film; it’s CGI intensive, it’s dark, it’s gritty and it features some good ol’ fashion slow-mo shots.
Now I love Greek mythology and am anxious to see the film, but I have this odd feeling that it is going to be nothing in comparison to 300, which it’s trying to mimic. I do know that it will be a thousand times better than Clash of the Titans, so that at least will make me feel a bit better.
The IMMORTALS stars Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Isabel Lucas, Freida Pinto, Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz, with John Hurt and Mickey Rourke and will storm into theaters on November 11th.

Synopsis:
Visionary director Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) and producers Gianni Nunnari (300), Mark Canton (300) and Ryan Kavanaugh (The Fighter) unleash an epic tale of treachery, vengeance and destiny in Immortals, a stylish and spectacular 3-D adventure. As a power-mad king razes ancient Greece in search of a legendary weapon, a heroic young villager rises up against him in a thrilling quest as timeless as it is powerful.
The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his murderous Heraklion army are rampaging across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions destroy everything in their wake, and it seems nothing will stop the evil king’s mission.
As village after village is obliterated, a stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) vows to avenge the death of his mother in one of Hyperion’s raids. When Theseus meets the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra (Freida Pinto), her disturbing visions of the young man’s future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction. With her help, Theseus assembles a small band of followers and embraces his destiny in a final desperate battle for the future of humanity.
