‘War of Gods’ Delayed But Set To Shoot Later This Year?

Henry Cavill (“Stardust”, TV’s “The Tudors”) has revealed that Tarsem Singh’s “War Of Gods” has been delayed but still hopes to start shooting later this year.

In a recent interview, Cavill shed light on the status of ‘Gods’: “It’s been delayed and still sitting in pre-production. Hopefully we’ll start shooting after Tudors finishes. The script is still being re-written.” Shooting for ‘Tudors’ is slated to begin in June and last year was completed by October.

Cavill also discussed his character in the film; “[Theseus] is a fairly angry man. Angry because he feels like he’s been dealt with unfairly throughout life, and has taken on fairly aggressive qualities. He’s still a good man, and still fairly self-aware, but I think he’s peeved at the world. Peeved is a light word to use, there.”

‘Gods’ is a mythological tale set in war-torn ancient Greece, as the young warrior prince Theseus leads his men in a battle against evil that will see the gods fighting with soldiers against demons and titans. The potential style for the film was described by Tarsem as ‘Caravaggio [an Italian Baroque artist circa the 16th Century] meets “Fight Club”.’

“It’s a really hardcore action film done in Renaissance painting style,” he added. “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 taking a particular Greek tale and half contemporizing it and telling it.”

‘Gods’ was scribed by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides and has a tentative release date of 2010.

  1. THIS FILM BETTER GET MADE.

    Tarsem is a master visualist/stylist of the first order.

    He could make a film based on The Yellow Pages and it’d be the most beautiful set of moving images of the year.
