Immortals Panel @ WonderCon 2011 & Teaser Description

A teaser trailer was showcased at WonderCon this weekend (alongside the panel posted above) and this is the excerpt from SlashFilm's report:

"The trailer shows us beautiful women, including Freida Pinto as Phaedra. Shots of a huge showdown on a battlefield with thousands of soldiers, mythological weapons like fire whips and a bow and arrow which shoots laser-like arrows in machine gun-like rapid fire. A gigantic mountain collapses, a huge total wave coming towards land. There is a shot of the men fighting from an angle which appears to either be below the ground or if the men are suspended in air above the camera with the clouds upwards in the background. It’s beautiful, but I’m not sure whats going on. There is a lot of slow motion and tons of shots with computer generated backgrounds."




From the producers of "300", it would be interesting to see for myself what the imagery-holds, as it sounds more The Cell than Tarsem's earlier "The Fall", at least in terms of cinematic treatment. Expect the trailer to be released at a later date from Relativity Media. We've posted character posters here. Now here are some earlier released stills from the movie (via /Film).

This is a much longer Film Synopsis than the previously posted [via Latino Review]

“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.”
