Distributor: Relativity Media.

The Gist: 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.

Cast: Mickey Rourke, John Hurt, Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Freida Pinto and Kellan Lutz

Release Date/Status?: November 11th.
