Filmmaker Tarsem revealed to Empire some details about his next film War of the Gods."It's turning into, basically, Caravaggio meets Fight Club. It's a really hardcore action film done in Renaissance painting style. 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… a bit like Baz Luhrmann doing Romeo + Juliet in Mexico; it's just taking a particular Greek tale and half [make it contemporary] and telling it."Tarsem also said he's very interested in Henry Cavill (Stardust, The Tudors) as a possible character for the film. Tarsem's previous films The Cell and The Fall have looked amazing, but been a bit empty of a satisfying story (although I hear good things about The Fall). It sounds like War of the Gods will also look stupendous. A while ago the plot was described as this:
Does sound interesting doesn't it. At the very least it will be a feast for the eyes.“A purported bastard who retains an allegiance to his mother despite the fact that he longs to join the quest of a king who is battling demons in ancient Greece later embarks on a grail of discovery that has him finding he is the king’s son and also fated to become his country’s greatest hero as he leads the successful war against long-imprisoned Titans who are hoping to use the demons to restore their power.”

i loved the fall. i thought the storyline was ok, but the visuals were truly mindblowing. its not all due to the director though, the set design, costumes, props were all top notch.
Good stuff Pat. I must get hold of it and have a watch.
