Immortals is a 2011 American epic-fantasy-action-adventure film directed by Tarsem Singh and starring Henry Cavill, Freida Pinto, and Mickey Rourke. The film also stars Luke Evans, Steve Byers, Kellan Lutz, Joseph Morgan, Stephen Dorff, Daniel Sharman, Alan van Sprang, Isabel Lucas, Corey Sevier, and John Hurt. The film was previously named Dawn of War and War of the Gods before being officially named Immortals, and is loosely based on the Greek myths of Theseus, the Minotaur and the Titanomachy.
Principal photography started on April 5, 2010 in Montreal, and the film was released in 2D and in 3D (using the Real D 3D and Digital 3D formats) on November 11, 2011 by Universal Pictures and Relativity Media, receiving mixed reviews but became a commercial success at the box office.
Before the dawn of man and beast, Immortals waged war against each other in Heaven. The victors declared themselves gods while the vanquished were renamed the Titans and imprisoned beneath Mount Tartarus. The Epirus Bow, a weapon of immense power, was lost on Earth during the war.
