With the buzz surrounding the upcoming film ‘Immortals,’ hitting near ear bleeding decibels, we thought we’d take a sec to spotlight the man behind the gods – cutting edge director Tarsem Singh. But first we thought we’d tease you some exclusive footage from the set, including never before seen images from the film. [Video]
[…] Singh’s visually stunning and thought provoking images, his mastery of storytelling and his breath taking cinematography made him the perfect choice to helm the highly anticipated ‘Immortals,’ a story about the Greek warrior Theseus’ battles against imprisoned titans.
‘Immortals’ is due to come out in theatres everywhere next year.

It’s not often we get excited about nor condone violence in any way. However, when a proposed battle involves the likes of two gorgeous men like Kellan Lutz and Henry Cavill possibly fighting in barely-there Greek togas, we make an exception.

The two hotties will face off against one another in the upcoming “Immortals” (formerly known as “Gods of War”), and when we caught up with “Twilight” hunk recently, we had to ask him who would win in a fight: Kellan’s Greek God of the sea or Henry’s Titan Theseus?

“Well, I play Poseidon so I have that godly aspect,” Kellan said. “But Henry’s a strong kid. It was really fun working with him and seeing him train because he went through months and months of training. I wish I could have a movie where was able to do that because he went through some intense stuff. He’s a buff kid.”

The upcoming film, which also stars Frieda Pinto and Isabel Lucas, is directed by “The Fall”‘s unique visionary, Tarsem Singh. It is slated for release in November 2011.

What do you think of a Lutz vs. Cavill face-off? Will you go see the film?

“If there is one human who could lead them against Hyperion, it would be Theseus…”

After the presentation at WonderCon, “Immortals” it’s being considered the most antecipated movie from 2011.

A trailer has been saw and I cannot read anything but excitement about it.

It’s hard to describe all of the footage and I’m sure the trailer we saw will be out very soon, but it looked like a visually astounding and completely badass new take on Greek mythology. There were epic battles that, using CGI, looked to have the scope and scale of Return of the King’s Minas Tirith battle, with thousands upon thousands of troops lined up outside of a massive mountain fortress. Mickey Rourke, who plays the main villain King Hyperion (Cavill described him as a “scary dude”), looks insanely brutal and intimidating, wearing a helmet with sharp metal spikes that encircled his entire head. There were tons of stylized slow-mo fight scenes and Luke Evans playing Zeus swinging a whip made entirely of fire. It. Looks. AWESOME! [First Showing]

The trailer wasn’t leaked yet, and I hope they release it soon.

Relativity Media recently offered audiences their first glimpse at “Immortals,” a stylish, mythological adventure directed by filmmaker Tarsem (“The Fall,” “The Cell”). Before Tarsem and producer Mark Canton (“300”) screened a few minutes of footage from the coming movie, Speakeasy sat down with two of the film’s stars, Henry Cavill (who’s set to play Superman in Zack Snyder’s franchise reboot “Man of Steel”) and actor Luke Evans, for a conversation about the challenges of bringing new life to old myths.

How tough is it to connect with the grandiosity of stories about the gods, and make sure everything also feels immediate and relatable to contemporary audiences?

Luke Evans: I think as an actor you have to be able to relate to the role before you take the job, whether it be a god or whatever. You have to see something in your character that you can relate to. And I’m sure Henry did the same thing, but I look at the role Henry played, and I can relate to what he goes through; he has a struggle on his hands – he lost his mother, he finds his feet, he falls in love, all of these things, they’re human feelings. So I can relate to that, and what I had to do with Zeus is make people understand that this god wasn’t just a [guy throwing] lightning bolts, he had feelings and he cared about these people on earth, and that was my responsibility, to prove that in what I did on screen. continue reading

If you didn’t know who British actor Henry Cavill was six months ago, you do now thanks to the 27-year-old actor landing the coveted Man of Steel role in Zack Snyder‘s “upcoming Superman” reboot.

And while it seems like a no-brainer move now—Cavill has the looks, chops and build; he had tested for Christopher Nolan‘s “Batman Begins” and Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns” and seemed poised to eventually score one of these plum roles—the actor’s name carried very little weight at the time and to hear the producers of the upcoming “Immortals” tell it, confidence in the actor leading their swords and sandals fantasy epic wasn’t exactly high.

“Henry tested for us and then we stayed with it,” Marc Canton, one of the producers of “Immortals,” said this past weekend at WonderCon of their lead acting choice. “There was a lot of debate about him, because we got pushed back many months in making the movie and eventually we went and we stayed the course [with Henry].” continue reading

This is probably the larger WonderCon panel available for Immortals. Check it!

Henry Cavill and Isabel Lucas head into the Montreal airport to catch a departing flight out of the Canadian city on Friday (April 22).

The 27-year-old Superman: Man of Steel actor signed autographs for fans as he entered the airport.

Henry and Isabel just finished up with reshoots for their upcoming flick Immortals, which hits theaters on November 11.

Will try to find untagged pictures for you. For now, you can check the article’s source for more Henry.

So far, our looks at director Tarsem Singh’s 3D action epic Immortals have been five handsome posters and a handful of images featuring stars Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, Isabel Lucas, Freida Pinto, and Kellan Lutz, but that changes tonight – Monday, April 25th, as the official Immortals teaser trailer will debut at 7:00 pm EST/PST on E! News.

You’re going to want to catch the teaser, as Tarsem Singh is a wholly unique stylist, known for rapturously composed visuals and striking, outrageous costuming.

Immortals is Singh’s take on Greek Mythology, with soon-to-be-Superman Henry Cavill as a humble peasant, chosen to be the Gods’ champion against Mickey Rourke’s tyrannical King Hyperion. The teaser trailer was met to an ecstatic audience response when Relativity Media and Tarsem Singh unveiled it at WonderCon. Tonight, though, is your chance to see the first footage from Immortals for yourself, simply by checking out E! News.

A new trailer for “Immortals” was just released, with some new Theseus scenes. Check it:

I was waiting this second trailer to be released in HD to make proper (and beautiful) screencaptures. Here is it:

Here’s a Coming Soon interview with the whole cast of “Immortals”:

Henry Cavill – Theseus

Q: How exciting and terrifying is it to be in such a big production?
Henry Cavill: Very exciting. More exciting than it is terrifying, really. I felt the pressure at one point. I had to be in a certain kind of shape, it was getting close to punch day, and I only had so long left to recondition the body. I suppose that I was a bit stressed over that. That’s been the most difficult thing, just maintaining that throughout. But otherwise, extraordinarily exciting, especially working with a director like Tarsem, who has boundless energy.

Edit:

Here’s the video, interview has been done just a few minutes ago:

Caps are already added. Enjoy!

The Immortals panel was fast, but a huge success. I was like crazy looking into any feed I could to see people’s impressions. Well, Henry, you did it. People is crazy about him, and SO looking forward about him now as Superman.
And his shape is something incredible. He’s working hard to get the exact shape wanted for the part, and his looking great. And I mean, GREAT. You’ll see when pictures start to pop, if you didn’t noticed in the video previously posted.

Here’s some highlights on the panel:

Henry Cavill on voice in character: “You don’t want to make it sound stuffy, but at the same time stay loyal to the age of a character like Theseus. Try not to be too English about it and not too American either.”
Henry Cavill on being a fan of mythology: “Yes, been a fan of mythology since I was a little boy.”
Freida Pinto on her sex scene with Henry: “How can it be embarrassing, you’re with Henry.”
Frida Pinto’s favorite part about filming Immortals:” Watching the fine men! Also, that the women remain covered while then men don’t.”
Henry Cavill on Man of Steel: “It’s one of the best scripts I’ve ever read. I’m excited by it, humbled by the whole experience and can’t wait to get started.”

It was also showed two new footages, in 3D. More about the panel will be posted here, also pics and interviews. Stay with us!

Edit: My friend Nina sent over some Twitter pictures from the panel she’s been collecting. There’s no signal, infortunately, of who took it. If you did it, please, send me an email, comment, smoke signal, to be credited under each photo, ok? Same if you want it to be taken down (which I hope not).

Also talking about that, a mention or link back when find pictures here at our site is really appreciated. I enjoy sharing things with fans, but also enjoy when you told your followers/visitors where did you get it first, specially concerning videos/captures/scans. Thanks!

Right at the start of Relativity’s Hall H panel for their swords and sandal, Gods and Titans epic film Immortals, director Tarsem Singh was quick to say that the trailers that have been released for the film are for everyone. The film itself, he said, was darker and “more hardcore” than those trailers suggested. To bolster his point, he showed an extended sort of red band trailer and then a pivotal action scene that takes place late in the movie. Oh, and he also paraded out stars Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz and Frieda Pinto. Read about the footage and find out if Tarsem is telling the truth after the jump. continue reading

Finally the pictures of Immortals panel has started to pop up. Sadly, no HQ sized yet, but you can wait for it, if not tonight, by tomorrow.

Keep checking our website for more updates!

This time amazing ones from the press line. Enjoy, the faint is free:

I added HQ versions of all pictures added yesterday from Comic-Con. To have that pics in HQ size I had to spent a few bucks, so if you re-post them, please give us a mention/link back and do not cut the tags, ok?
Thanks.

With visionary director Tarsem Singh at the helm, Immortals is certain to be a film that is much talked about, when it hits theaters in November. An epic tale of treachery, vengeance and destiny among the Greek Gods, it promises to be a stylish and spectacular 3D adventure that is as unique as the filmmaker himself. In it, actor Henry Cavill plays Theseus, a stonemason who vows to avenge the death of his mother and who is called upon to embrace his destiny in a final battle for the future of humanity.

After their Hall H panel presentation at Comic-Con, Henry Cavill and Tarsem Singh talked about the appeal of a project like this, what changed to make an almost non-existent script something that could be brought to life for the screen, what the overall tone will be, and why 3D worked for this. Cavill also talked about how he’s already put on 25 pounds in training for playing Superman in Man of Steel, how it’s both humbling and an honor to take on a role that he hopes he can do justice with, and how he’s chosen not to focus on the celebrity aspect of all the attention he’s now receiving. Check out what they had to say after the jump:

Sure, he was there to promote “Immortals” but Henry Cavill is the next Superman, and Comic-Con audiences are — to put it mildly — fans of Superman.

So when Cavill stepped onto the stage for a panel with his “Immortals” co-stars, producers and director on Saturday, the audience was hoping for a morsel of “Man of Steel” — as well as some “Immortals”

“Immortals” about the Greek warrior Theseus and the evil King Hyperion, drew massive interest at Comic-Con. In addition to Cavill, it has Frieda Pinto, Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz and Mickey Rourke, and it’s directed by Tarsem Singh. continue reading

British actor Henry Cavill is already at work on the new Superman reboot, “Man of Steel,” but he took a quick break on Saturday at Comic-Con in San Diego, showing off a new look as he promoted his upcoming Greek gods and heroes drama, “Immortals.”

“Your hair’s a little darker,” Access Hollywood pointed out, noticing his Clark Kent-looking black-haired sheen, when Henry hit the “Immortals” press line.

“It is, yeah. Can’t imagine why,” the actor said with a sly smile.

While he was under orders to keep “Superman” related news to a minimum, Henry said working on the 2013-due project, directed by Zack Snyder, has been a dream come true.

“It’s fantastic. That’s all I can…” Henry trailed off. “It’s one of the best scripts I’ve ever read.”

Henry confirmed filming has begun in Chicago.

“It’s going really well,” he noted.

Another Immortals trailer has surfaced today! After the first two trailers brought us into this world, the latest one is filled with the most action yet. Check it:

Look at those so cool international posters for Immortals:

I told you yesterday, on Twitter (btw, if you’re not following our Twitter account, do it now!) that Immortals are featured on October issue of Empire magazine. Well, that’s what the cover was telling us. It actually is featured, but it’s a small note on some upcoming movies. But to make the issue worth, they also have a two-page spread on Superman. Now that things are better, you can check scans up already in our gallery, thanks to my friend @RobJacko who take his time to scan it for us.

In just two feature films – following a slew of music videos such as “Losing My Religion” – Tarsem Singh has proven himself as one of a handful of true visionary directors working in the system today. He comes at the material as an artist, not as a commercial work-for-hire, and even on what should be a simple police procedural, 2000’s The Cell, he infused a vision of a startling, richly drawn and emotionally harrowing inner-world of a criminal mind. Now, as his follow-up to the underrated The Fall, he goes back to Hollywood with a for-hire project, Immortals, and takes what could be another hack film about Mythological Green Gods and figures, i.e. Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Hyperon, etc, and makes something truly bold. It’s an original story with all of these characters, concerning possession of a sacred and magical bow that could destroy all of Greece (nay, the world), and how the humans interact with Gods and what happens when one of them (Theseus, played by soon-to-be Superman Henry Cavill) makes that ascenscion from mortal to the status of the title. continue reading

For the “Superman” fans out there, it’s safe to say that by now, you’ve probably seen and overanalyzed “Man of Steel” star Henry Cavill looking all ripped and rugged in the leaked photos from the film’s set.
For the most part — nitpicky casting and director complaints notwithstanding — the collective judgment that has come down via various fan sites was: “Cavill looks awesome.” And no one was more relieved to hear and see those reactions than the hard-working actor in question.

When MTV News caught up with Cavill recently as he promoted his upcoming sword-and-sandals flick “Immortals,” we asked for his thoughts about the constant attention paid to him and the production, as well as his reaction to the leaked photos.

“I think the best part has been recently when people have sort of seen all the work that has gone into it,” Cavill said, speaking to his physical transformation. “I think I won a lot of people over, and I felt the support really come behind me, which is a really good feeling, because when you’re doing this all for [the fans], telling a story for them … you want to do it justice,” he said, adding that on the particular day when the shirtless photos were snapped, he was fighting very chilly temperatures and 80 mph winds from a helicopter hovering above him.
“It’s wonderful to have all the people online going, ‘This is great, this is amazing, I can’t wait, thank goodness it’s him.’ It’s wonderful, so thank you to everyone out there,” he said, speaking to camera. “I do appreciate it.”

You’re welcome, Henry.

As you can see, today the press work for Immortals has officially began. Luke posted on his twitter that they broke the mark of 80 interviews. In one day.

Check one bit here:

The first time I had it all on with the cape, I deliberately didn’t look in the mirror as it was going on because I wanted to have that sorta turnaround moment. Probably one of the best moments of my life to turn around and realize [small pause] that I’m Superman.

Some actors might get a little help from the costume department when portraying a hero on the big screen, but British actor Henry Cavill, star of “Immortals” and the upcoming Zack Snyder-directed “Man of Steel,” pushed his body to the max to get a hero-worthy physique.

“We did a lot of training. I was training for six months. I started before I finished ‘The Tudors,’” Henry told Access Hollywood at the junket for his latest movie “Immortals.”

“I was up at four in the morning, doing a couple of hours there and then a day’s work. But as soon as I got off ‘The Tudors,’ then we could do the full training. It went up to about eight hours a day by the time it was February,” he continued.

The 28-year-old actor said he endured “hundreds of bruises and cuts” while shooting the adventure film set in the world of Greek gods. continue reading

Henry Cavill and Luke Evans discuss their roles as some of the most well-known and beloved characters of both ancient and contemporary mythology, in films like Superman and ‘The Hobbit’.

Henry Cavill has gone through intense physical training for his role as the man-in-blue in Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot, Man of Steel.

This Superman, by all accounts, not only carries the extraordinary gifts of his predecessors but is also one of raw, physical, brute strength and power. At the Los Angeles press event for director Tarsem Singh’s upcoming fantasy-adventure, Immortals, Cavill about how his experience with what the cast jokingly referred to as the “Immortals diet” and workout regime mentally prepared him for the rigorous work he would endure for Superman.

“Any experience on an acting job is good experience because you can take it to the next [job]. The physical experience (on “Immortals”) was obviously wonderful because it’s prepped me for this (“Superman”) physical experience. I’ve learned that when you go to this kind of level, it’s no longer about the physical, it’s more about the mental. It’s about the will power to push yourself into that very dark place. You’re standing next to the precipice, and you’ve got that weight on your shoulders, and you’re only halfway through the workout and you need to push yourself off and just go into that big f**k-off black hole and keep on pushing. “Immortals” prepped me for that emotionally and mentally…in the physical sense, if that makes sense. So, I’m very grateful for that.”

I have added to the gallery 33 me pictures of Henry while attending the “Immortals” Press Conference last 29th.

Please give us a link back if reposting to your site, tumblr or facebook page. Thanks!

Henry Cavill is scheduled to appear as a special guest on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on Monday, November 7. “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” airs on NBC in the U.S. at 11.30pm/10.35pm C. Check your local guide for clarification.

I finally started to put together the videos I’ve been collecting to this site. So, our video archive is now open. It contains only Immortals related videos, but I’ll be inserting more videos during this week.

I also added HD screencaptures of most recent Immortals featurettes and clips.

This is another featurette from Immortals, I added the Henry part of the interview but it was done also with Freida Pinto and Stephen Dorff.

Thanks for the heads up, Shar!

The first batch of last night premiere has now up in the gallery (sorry for my late, it’s been a busy morning):

With director Tarsem Singh’s new film Immortals opening this weekend, Collider will be overrun with exclusive interviews with the filmmakers and cast over the next few days. For those not familiar with Immortals (watch the trailer and clips), the film centers on Theseus (Henry Cavill), a mortal who teams up with the Greek gods in order to defeat the power-hungry King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke). The film also stars Freida Pinto, Luke Evans, Isabel Lucas, Joseph Morgan, Kellan Lutz, and Stephen Dorff.

Anyway, earlier today I got on the phone with Henry Cavill for an exclusive interview. We talked about how he got involved in Immortals, the training, working with Tarsem and Mickey Rourke, the practical sets, his reaction to seeing the finished film, and what it was like to promote the film at WonderCon and Comic-Con. In addition, since Cavill is currently filming Man of Steel for director Zack Snyder, he talked about what has surprised him about the production, his interaction with producer Christopher Nolan, his reaction to getting cast as Superman, how he prepared for the role, and whether he ever dressed up as Superman as a kid.

In “Immortals,” the hyper-stylized Greek mythology movie that opens this weekend, Henry Cavill plays brave Theseus, a man who is told by gods and oracles that he has a date with destiny. Cavill can relate, in a way, because a little more than a decade ago, while he was still at a boarding school in Buckinghamshire, England, Cavill shook hands with the future.

The campus of Stowe School was being used as a backdrop for the kidnap thriller “Proof of Life,” and between shots, star Russell Crowe was amusing himself by booting a rugby ball through the posts as dozens of boys at a safe distance watched with wide-eyed fascination and a bit of fear. Cavill was in the crowd and decided that they looked foolish, so he marched up to the movie star and introduced himself. continue reading

Henry Cavill knows about overnight heroes.

In Immortals, opening today, he plays an overlooked peasant propelled to lead an army into battle against a sadistic king. But before Cavill could even step into the role’s leather sandals, the untested actor had to convince director Tarsem Singh that he, too, had the right stuff.

Going into their first meeting, “I was an unknown. But I wanted it badly,” Cavill says. “Tarsem saw the passion. And if you’ve got nothing else, passion will get you through.” continue reading

Looking past Henry Cavill’s infinitely blue eyes and goofy grin, it’s not difficult to imagine the 28-year-old British actor transforming into an extremely intense dude as he describes the roughest day he experienced on the “Immortals” set — grasping the complex choreography for the film’s epic final battle.

“I was literally learning it minutes before doing it,” said Cavill during a recent interview to promote the mythological 3-D action flick. “That was fun and a great challenge, but I’m a bit of a perfectionist, and I get pissed off at myself if I don’t get it exactly right.” continue reading

UPDATED: If fanboys continue to turn out in strong numbers, Relativity’s fantasy action-epic could win the weekend crown over Adam Sandler’s new comedy “Jack and Jill,” which is in a close Friday race with family pic “Puss in Boots”

Relativity Media’s R-rated action-epic Immortals, headlining Henry Cavill, grossed $1.4 million in midnight grosses from 900 theaters. continue reading

I just added 81 new HQ pictures of Henry at “Immortals” red carpet. Check it:

Henry Cavill has got pecs appeal
The actor strips off for several action-packed fight scenes, unveiling a body that’s clearly benefitted from hours invested at the gym.

Immortals at #1 knocks Puss off its mountain with $32m opening

Immortals hit the box office this weekend and performed higher than originally expected grossing $32m. These aren’t titan earnings. The are rather good in this economy, but thoughts are with expecting higher grosses on a holiday weekend. Immortals opened Friday at approximately 900 locations offering midnight showings in 3D earning $1.4m. As Immortals expanded to over 3000 multiplexes nationwide, its final weekend performance came in down $4m from the revised weekend pace. 3D ticket sales, offered at a higher price point, did not bring in substantial revenue as compared to its 2D counterpart. Fanboy support for the genre and the actor(s) has been awarded credit with helping to make Immortals reach the numbers it did. [Read More]

The special features on the DVD include deleted scenes and a Behind-the-Scenes featurette called It’s No Myth. Cool, right? Yeah, well on the Blu-Ray you get those features, an alternate opening called Young Theseus, two alternate endings called This Is Our Last Embrace and (SPOILER alert, we guess) Theseus Kills Hyperion, and another Behind-the-Scenes featurette enticingly titled Caravaggio Meets Fight Club. And guess what? If you buy the Blu-Ray, you’ll also get a graphic novel titled Immortals: Gods & Heroes.

Hello! I just came across some Immortals/Man of Steel articles in two different magazines from 2011. One of them are in French, so if anyone could contribute with us translating the article, I’d be grateful!

Tarsem has described his Immortals star Henry Cavill as the “perfect” choice to play Superman.

British actor Cavill was cast in Zack Snyder’s superhero reboot Man of Steel after playing Theseus in the 3D fantasy epic, which is released on Blu-ray and DVD this week.

“I think he’s about the best Superman you could ever have. When I first saw him – this was before I knew he [auditioned] for Superman, because the last Superman had been made a year and a half before Immortals and tanked – I said, ‘This is Clark Kent!'”

“He’s very gentle, manly, just everything was perfect for it. He was so excited when he got it but I didn’t doubt for a second that he wouldn’t get it. Snyder would be lind not to see how right he was for [the role].”
