Immortals unleashes a second trailer

By Ryan Fleming June 27, 2011

Taking a page from the book of the movie 300, The upcoming action flick, Immortals will recreate the world of Ancient Greece, in all its CGI-enhanced glory.

Immortals stars Henry Cavill, the man set to don the iconic tights of Superman next year in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. But before he becomes faster than a speeding bullet, Cavill will play another kind of superhero. Immortals is the story of Theseus (Cavill), the man chosen by the Gods to be their champion and defend humanity from the Titan, Hyperion (Mickey Rourke).

Hyperion is seeking the Epirus Bow, a weapon created by Ares which could be used to free the other Titans. Due to ancient laws the Gods cannot interfere so Zeus chooses Theseus, who is joined by the priestess Phaedra (Frieda Pinot) and a slave (Stephen Dorff).

In another coincidental turn, the role of Zeus will be played by Luke Evans, who seems to have gotten himself a promotion in the Greek pantheon after having played Apollo in Clash of the Titans. Evans will not be appearing in the upcoming sequel, Wrath of the Titans.

Check out the trailer below and look for Immortals in 3D on November 11 (aka 11/11/11).

three underrated henry cavill movies you should watch after argylle the man from uncle movie 2

This week, Henry Cavill -- bad haircut and all -- is back in theaters with Argylle, the new spy action comedy in which he plays the title character...who may or may not actually exist. This is Cavill's first major theatrical film role since his cameo in Black Adam, which ended up being his last appearance as Superman.

Outside of the DCEU movies, Cavill is probably best known for his part in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, a truly great action movie that can't be called underrated with a straight face.

Everyone has to start somewhere, but you're better off sticking with our picks for the three underrated Henry Cavill movies you should watch. The alternatives were suspect at best.

10 best movie trailers of 2023, ranked

Furiosa leans back on a wall of fire in Furiosa.

2023 is in the rearview mirror now as the holiday season creeps upon us, meaning it's time for the oh-so-fun season of year-end lists. While there will undoubtedly be dozens of lists commemorating the best movies of the year, it's important to note a smaller yet essential sort of video: the movie trailer.

A good movie trailer is composed of a lot of things, but the biggest aspect of a successful trailer is one that accentuates the hype of a movie while not spoiling the film itself. A trailer that spoils a movie's entire plot is the worst. It's also the worst, though, when a trailer leaves you so in the dark about the movie that a viewer feels no interest in the film itself. It's a delicate balance that only a few of the best trailers really smash it out of the park.
