Greek Mythology Film THESEUS To Be Directed By Javor Gardev

THR recently reported that Bulgarian director, Javor Gadev, is set to helm the upcoming greek mythological film Theseus. Described as "a special effects-heavy take on the Greek myth of the minotaur monster and the hero who defeated it."

I am not familiar with any of Gadev’s work, but apparently the folks backing this film have a lot of faith in him, because they are assembling a hefty team to work on this film. The script was written by Kira Madallo Sesay, the head of Kallipe Films, who will also produce the movie.

Kalliope, whose credits include the upcoming Hansel and Gretel in 3D, another high-tech update of a classic tale, have assembled an impressive tech team for Theseus. Joseph C. Pepe, the lead character designer on James Cameron’s Avatar, will design the mythic monsters for Theseus while the film’s visual effects will be handled by veteran visual effects producer Korey Cauchon (Spider-Man 2, Sucker Punch).

I will wait to see how this film comes together before I form an opinion on this project. However, my interest has been peaked. Is this a concept that you are interested in, or is this kind of CG movie played out? Until next time…
