This new trailer was the one I saw screened at Dublin's Movie Fest and although I hadn't been too impressed with anything I had seen from this movie previously, this and a scene they screened for us changed that.
The footage screened was a full battle scene involving some of the Gods, led by Luke Evans as Zeus, entering a chamber where the imprisoned Titans have just been freed. The clash is pretty spectacular and very gory. It is a little reminiscent of Zack Snyder's 300 as we have all already noted from the trailers, but I think once people get over that there could be a lot to enjoy here. It will at the very least be a feat for the eyeballs.
Eons after the Gods won their mythic struggle against the Titans, a new evil threatens the land. Mad with power, King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) has declared war against humanity. Amassing a bloodthirsty army of soldiers disfigured by his own hand, Hyperion has scorched Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares. Only he who possesses this bow can unleash the Titans, who have been imprisoned deep within the walls of Mount Tartaros since the dawn of time and thirst for revenge. In the king’s hands, the bow would rain destruction upon mankind and annihilate the Gods. But ancient law dictates the Gods must not intervene in man’s conflict. They remain powerless to stop Hyperion…until a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) comes forth as their only hope. Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes. Rallying a band of fellow outsiders–including visionary priestess Phaedra (Freida Pinto) and cunning slave Stavros (Stephen Dorff) — one hero will lead the uprising, or watch his homeland fall into ruin and his Gods vanish into legend.
