Update: Internet was down yesterday so we weren’t able to post up what we’ve got from WonderCon 2011, we are posting yesterday’s posts today, as well as the stories we got today. Sorry for the delay.
Today at Comic-Con I had the chance to take part in a press photo op for Archaia’s collaboration with Relativity Media, Immortals, the highly-anticipated 3-D adventure film starring Henry Cavill, who will be playing the new Superman in the upcoming film by Zack Snyder.
Before the film’s November release, Archaia will publish a graphic novel anthology of Immortals in September, which expands upon the mythology of the film and introduces readers to a whole new layer of the story.
Today Friday April 1, 2011 press and fans were given a chance to take photos of the cast and the director next to the Immortals graphic novel renderings of their likenesses which will appear in the graphic novel. Check out the photos belowas well as descriptions of the cast and film.
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.
