Immortals

“From the producers of 300” this new Immortals trailer announces rather unnecessarily, as there’s no mistaking the ambitions of this similar swords-and-sandals-and-shouting take on Greek mythology. Directed by Tarsem Singh with his usual flair for visuals that poke you right in the optic nerve, the loose retelling of the story of Theseus pits your future Superman, Henry Cavill, against Mickey Rourke and his muscular hordes to see who can shoot the shiniest arrows, wear the gaudiest armor, and make their voice sound the most like they just got over a nasty head cold. That's how you win wars.
