The official trailer for Tarsem Singh‘s Immortals is here, and it’s a beauty. His style (see: The Cell, The Fall) really shines here with an added bonus of 300. You can’t say what’s really going on from the trailer, so expect a more explanation filled trailer later, or maybe Tarsem doesn’t care to share. This trailer is obscure to say the least, here is an in-depth synopsis with the trailer following after the jump.
Visionary director Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) and producers of 300 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.
