TWILIGHT’s Kellan Lutz to Play Poseidon in Tarsem’s WAR OF THE GODS

Kellan Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen in the Twilight movies, will get a little godly as Poseidon in War of the Gods.  Directed by Tarsem Singh (The Fall), the film also stars Henry Cavill (The Tudors), Mickey Rourke, and Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire).  According to Variety, the “story follows a young warrior Theseus who leads his men into battle with the immortal Greek gods to defeat evil elder gods of the Titans in order to save mankind.”  Presumably, this Poseidon will get off easier than he does in God of War III (although no one really gets off in that game unless the player gets a murder-boner).

Lutz will next be seen in the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, which hits theaters on April 30th.

[Update: Heat Vision is calling the movie "Dawn of War".  They also say that Rourke plays Hyperion who is on a murderous rampage across Greece.  Poseidon helps Theseus in his quest to stop Hyperion]

Tarsem Singh’s DAWN OF WAR In 3D? Yes, Please.

Tarsem Singh, best know for producing, writing, and directing the visually stimulating The Fall, has brought the $115-million Montreal-based production of the ancient Greece epic Dawn of War to a screeching halt, according to The Montreal Gazette (via The Playlist). The culprit should come as no surprise: 3D.

The producers are contemplating shooting the film in 3D, a move that would add roughly $15 million to the budget and possibly delay shooting, which was scheduled to begin this month. However, this isn’t your average studio film being thrown an extra dimension. Singh is known for his visuals, which was about the only redeeming quality of his first feature film, The Cell. With lots of special effects and an extra dimension, it should be interesting to see what Singh brings to the table if they move forward with 3D. Meanwhile, Henry Cavill of The Tudors fame is still set to star in the film, which Singh says he is bringing a contemporary style to.
