Relativity Media has released five new character posters for their upcoming sword and sandals flick Immortals. Directed by Tarsem Singh (The Fall), the film stars the new Superman Henry Cavill, as well as Mickey Rourke, Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire), Kellan Lutz (Twilight), Isabel Lucas (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), Stephen Dorff, and John Hurt.
Hit the jump to check out the posters and the official synopsis. Immortals gets released November 11 in 3D.
Here’s the 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.

isabel lucas looking hott
These are some badass posters. I can’t wait to SEE this film. Especially in 3D. Tarsem Singh will bring it visually. And what a cast. Hope it can at least be entertaining. Let’s not have another Sucker Punch. I want visuals AND entertainment. If it even gets close to 300 I’ll be damn happy.
this is the sleeper of 2011. this movie is my most anticipated. no many people know about it but the director and story match perfectly. cant wait
This movie won’t be good more of because
1. Tarsem does not know how to build up plot, and the moments that should ooze excitement end up convoluted
2. ‘Uses music that is too artsy and void of fun
The Fall was just a postcard. I don’t know anybody who had fun with that movie.
I’m in for the cast alone, although I hope this role isn’t too iconic for Cavill, don’t want to think of Theseus when I should be thinking of Clark Kent.
Will be interesting to see how Tarsem handles the action scenes, presuming there are any.
treyd: The Fall is a masterpiece, and not only for the visuals. The narration, the music, the mood, it really has all of it. And I’m quite sure a lot of people enjoyed this movie has I did.
