Laughably Ridiculous Trailer For Alex Proyas' GODS OF EGYPT
After those terrible-looking posters were released for Alex Proyas' Gods of Egypt, I kinda hoped that they wouldn't reflect what the actual film would be like. But, unfortunately, they did. The first trailer has been released, and I'm not impressed by what I'm seeing at all. It looks like it will at least be just as bad as the Clash of the Titans remake and its sequel, Wrath of the Titans.
The movie has a great cast that includes Gerard Butler as Set, the god of the desert; Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Horus, the god of the sky; Brenton Thwaites as Bek, the thief of legend; Chadwick Boseman as Thoth, the god of Wisdom; Elodie Yung as Hathor, the goddess of love; and Abby Lee as Zaya, the beauty of the Nile. Regardless of the cast, the movie still looks pretty ridiculous.
Magic, monsters, gods and madness reign throughout the palaces and pyramids of the Nile River Valley in this action-adventure inspired by the classic mythology of Egypt. With the survival of mankind hanging in the balance, an unexpected hero takes a thrilling journey to save the world and rescue his true love. Set (Gerard Butler), the merciless god of darkness, has usurped Egypt’s throne, plunging the once peaceful and prosperous empire into chaos and conflict. With only a handful of heroic rebels opposing Set’s savage rule, Bek (Brenton Thwaites), a bold and defiant mortal, enlists the aid of powerful god Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in an unlikely alliance against the evil overlord. As their breathtaking battle against Set and his henchmen take them into the afterlife and across the heavens, both god and mortal must pass tests of courage and sacrifice if they hope to prevail in the spectacular final confrontation.
The movie also stars Geoffrey Rush, Rufus Sewell, and Courtney Eaton. Gods of Egypt is set to be released in theaters on February 26th, 2016. After you watch the trailer, let us know what you thought about it!
