War of the Gods and Dawn of War Are Immortals
We already wrote some stuff about War of the Gods and Dawn of War, but we’re here now to write some interesting things about an upcoming mythology-spectacle titled Immortals! That’s confusing, right?
Ok, we’re joking, this is the same movie, but now it will be called Immortals. You get it? War of Gods is Immortal, and Immortal is Dawn of War. Easy thing to remember!
Hm, how should we start this… This movie is currently in production and Relativity Media sent out a press release letting everyone know that they’ve made a few major changes.
Luke Evans On Dawn of War (War of the Gods)
Luke Evans sure knows how to handle Greek mythology.
First, we had a chance to watch him in Clash of the Titans as Apollo, and now it looks like the actor will also be in charge for another godlike role because he’s set to play Zeus in Dawn of War (previously War of the Gods) that will be directed by Tarsem Singh.
We already wrote about this movie, and you also had a chance to read what the director had to say about his upcoming project, right here on our site.
Stephen Dorff Joins Dawn of War (War of the Gods)
Stephen Dorff has joined the cast of an upcoming Greek mythology epic Dawn of War – previously titled War of the Gods, directed by Tarsem Singh.
Looks like Dorff just got his chance to play Stavros, a master thief who joins Theseus on his quest to help free Greece from the dark threat of Titans.
And ok, there are some people that don’t actually want to see the guy from Public Enemies in this kind of role, but you must admit, this is a potential blockbuster… well, we all understand this decision, don’t we?
On the other hand, we already have a very nice list of actors that will be the part of Dawn of War: Freida Pinto will play Phaedra, Mickey Rourke will play King Hyperion, Henry Cavill will play Theseus and Kellan Lutz will play Poseidon.
Kellan Lutz to Play Poseidon in War Of The Gods

In War of the Gods, the plot centers on a young warrior named Theseus who leads his men into battle with the immortal Greek gods to defeat the evil and powerful elder gods of the Titans in order to save mankind.
Mickey Rourke In War of the Gods
Mickey Rourke has signed on to star in Tarsem Singh‘s War of the Gods.
Rourke has been cast as the villain, King Hyperion and will star opposite Henry Cavill and Freida Pinto.
The story about a Greek mythological battle, follows a young warrior Theseus who leads his men into battle with the immortal Greek gods to defeat evil and the powerful elder gods of the Titans in order to save mankind.
Tarsem Singh Talks War of the Gods
Director Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) revealed to Empire some details about his next film “War of the Gods.”
“It’s turning into, basically, Caravaggio meets Fight Club,” he said. “It’s a really hardcore action film done in Renaissance painting style. I want to see how that goes; it’s turned into something really cool. This guy who I really love, who’s the only one person in it right now, is the brother in The Tudors, Henry Cavill. I’m going for a very contemporary look on top of that so I’m kind of going with, you know, Renaissance time with electricity. So it’s a bit like Baz Luhrman doing Romeo + Juliet in Mexico; it’s just talking a particular Greek tale and half contemporising it and telling it.”
“War of Gods” deals with “battles waged by Theseus, a warrior from Greek mythology, who leads a fight against the imprisoned titans… unlike some mythological tales, gods fight alongside mortals.

Canton and Nunnari were having too good of a time to get any solid answers from them, but the site learned that their new movie is “War of Gods,” which is another Greek mythology epic. Two writers already wrote the script, which director Tarsem Singh (The Fall, The Cell) read and agreed to make. They are expecting to begin filming in the first quarter of 2009. Continue Reading…
