After some slick posters, we finally have the first trailer for Tarsem‘s Immortals. After directing the beautiful and under-appreciated action fairytale The Fall, he returns with a much bigger cast to match the budget. Henry Cavill, our new Superman: Man of Steel, leads the ensemble that includes Mickey Rourke, Freida Pinto, Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, John Hurt, and Kellan Lutz. We are waiting on an HD version to premiere tomorrow, but you can see the first full-length trailer below.
UPDATE: The HD trailer is now available on Apple.
Synopsis:
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.
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.
Immortals hits theaters November 11th, 2011.
