The story revolves around the mythological hero Theseus:

Tarsem Singh does not intend to film Immortals as a traditional fantasy period movie, he has a rather radical new take in mind:

"Basically, Caravaggio meets Fight Club. 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."

I guess the movie Immortals will be quite entertaining, even if it probably won't be edifying...
