Plot:
Eons after the Gods won their mythic struggle against the Titans, a new evil threatens the land. Mad with power, King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) has declared war against humanity. Amassing a bloodthirsty army of soldiers disfigured by his own hand, Hyperion has scorched Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares. Only he who possesses this bow can unleash the Titans, who have been imprisoned deep within the walls of Mount Tartaros since the dawn of time and thirst for revenge. In the king's hands, the bow would rain destruction upon mankind and annihilate the Gods. But ancient law dictates the Gods must not intervene in man's conflict. They remain powerless to stop Hyperion...until a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) comes forth as their only hope. Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes...

The mythological film is being produced with advanced techniques of cinematography experts. Using mixed reality equipment, the film aims to create scenes showing the manifest exploits of the mythical hero, Theseus. According to legend, Theseus is the being who founded and rules the capital of Athens. Theseus is a well-known figure in mythology, and his fame became legend with the victorious battles won during his many exploits. Among the great conquests of this film is the battle of Theseus against the Minotaur.
Most of the production details are held back until the premiering. This movie incorporates Classical Greek legend filmed using the most advanced for the time 3D technology, and necessitating extensive post production. Early development was convoluted also, and was touted by some to potentially be a modern mythological blockbuster film with special effects and in HD.Director Tarsem Singh tells that he is planning an action movie to be a visual masterpiece using renaissance painting styles.He then goes on to say that he is "...kind of going for a very contemporary look on top of that so I'm kind of going with, you know, Renaissance time with electricity... a bit like Baz Luhrmann doing Romeo + Juliet in Mexico; it's just taking a particular Greek tale and half (make it contemporary) and telling it."Stephen Dorff has described the movie as " Gladiator meets 300".
The teaser trailer is rumoured to being released in February 2011 or Summer 2011.
