A new trailer and poster for Alex Proyas' "Gods of Egypt" have been released online.
The fantasy adventure stars Brenton Thwaites as a young thief who joins forces with the Egiptian god Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in order to overthrow the dark reign of Set (Gerard Butler).
There's a whole lot of CGI in this movie and it looks as silly as 2015's "Jupiter Ascending". I'm not sure just what exactly is the tone they're aiming for, but following the recent formal apology issued by Lionsgate and Proyas for their non-race-appropriate casting, it looks like a bumpy road ahead for this movie.
The cast also features Courtney Eaton, Abbey Lee, Geoffrey Rush, Rufus Sewell, Elodie Yung and Chadwick Boseman.
"Gods of Egypt" opens in theaters on February 26th, 2016.
Check out the trailer and posters after the jump.
Official Synopsis
"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."
