'GODS OF EGYPT' REVEALS
STUNNING FIRST POSTERS!
Now, check out this eyecandy! After an extremely long wait the first glitzy, sparkly and delicious poster have been released for next February's Ancient Egyptian epic adventure GODS OF EGYPT and they let you see Scottish Hunk Gerard Butler in a skirt! It is strange they haven't yet released any trailer, only four months before the premiere, but I have a feeling we shall see the first one next week when Lionsgate's HUNGER GAMES hits the theatres in its final instalment. Until then feast your eyes on these colourful treats promising a vivid, lavish and breathtaking epic
movie!
GODS, MAGIC AND MADNESS
Magic, monsters, gods and madness reign throughout the palaces and
pyramids of the Nile River Valley in this action adventure inspired by
the classic mythology of Egypt. With the survival of mankind hanging in
the balance, an unexpected hero takes a thrilling journey to save the
world and rescue his true love.
Set (Gerard Butler), the merciless god of darkness, has
usurped Egypt’s throne, plunging the once peaceful and prosperous empire
into chaos and conflict. With only a handful of heroic
rebels opposing
Set’s savage rule, Bek (Brenton Thwaites), a bold and defiant mortal, enlists the aid of powerful god Horus (Nikolaj Coster Waldau)
in an unlikely alliance against the evil overlord. As their 
breathtaking battle against Set and his henchmen take them into the
afterlife and across the heavens, both god and mortal must pass tests of
courage and sacrifice if they hope to prevail in the spectacular final
confrontation.

Horus? No he's the Kingslayer
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you didn't say he's Harry Plopper, Adam :)
DeleteHe is!
Deletewho is what is?
DeleteHow should I know?
Deleteand why would I know?
DeleteYa'll crack me up ;P
DeleteI still don't know who is what is!
DeleteTheresa does. How come you don't?
DeleteHow come Theresa does what I don't?
DeleteLet's ask.
DeleteI will give you the honour
DeleteTheresa... The Dezzzmeister is clueless. Could you spell it out for him?
Deleteshe ain't gonna read it... you're too late
DeleteTell me something I don't know.
DeleteThose are really beautiful posters! The Goddess of Love is my favorite though!
ReplyDeleteShe sure is flapping those wings of hers... in other news, I wouldn't wanna be seen alive in that cape of Horus' :)
DeleteIt's not that bad. I do like the color of it ;)
Deleteyes, for a shower curtain or table cloth not to parade around in it :)
DeleteA scary shower curtain. Yikes.
Deleteindeed
DeleteBut the colors are great.
Deletelike totally
DeleteGerard Butler is indeed a handsome man.
ReplyDeleteand a ladies' man too :) When he was here a few years ago shooting a movie, he got a taste of some of our starlets :)
DeleteLooks great and very impressive, love the colors on the posters, beautiful...
ReplyDeleteI imagine the movie itself will be visual splendour!
DeleteAmazing posters. I haven't seen Gerard in a good movie since 300. This is definitely exciting!
ReplyDeleteglad you like them, idiots around the web are trashing them in their evil campaign against the movie... you know, the superficial pubescent types which get turned on only by darkness, gore and grim things.
DeleteCool posters! I haven't been to the movies in so long, when I do go the posters feel fake. You know how in movies/TV shows they'll have fake movies on the walls when scenes are set in a movie theater? That's what they feel like, they're so foreign to me!
ReplyDeleteyou mean they don't deliver what is on the posters? I reckon this one might be as glitzy as the posters are... I imagine the gods popping in clouds of glitter and sparks in each scene :) Should be magical.
DeleteI looooove Egyptian mythology. I'm probably out of sync here, but I can't remember having seen any productions that featured Egyptian gods so prominently. I hope they get it right... that they don't go for plot at the cost of accuracy... though I suppose that might be too much to ask for ;) Still, whatshisname from 300 is an *excellent* choice for Seth (sorry, old-school spelling for Set).
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, Dez!

Funny they changed it into Set since Thoth is still Thoth :) We do adore anything ancient Egyptian even though this summer's TUT mini series at Spike TV left us disappointed.
DeleteOh no... I haven't seen the TUT series, but it's one I would've wanted to—and now, well, not so much. How can they get it so wrong? Especially with something there's so much info on??? Me no understand :(
Deleteit was with Ben Kingsley, you have it in our right sidebar with epic shows. The lead actor was horrible, like Keanu Reeves among pyramids :)
DeleteThat sounds indeed worth skipping :D
Deleteyou can check it out only for visual aspect... but even that isn't overly stunning.
