Gerard Butler in ‘Gods of Egypt’ First Trailer

He’ll always have a particular place in our heart for the marvellous Dark City and the original The Crow.

For those moviegoers that like fantasy films with mythical gods battling for control there is Gods of Egypt, a fantasy action adventure movie that sees the god of darkness take the throne of ancient Egypt and throws the empire into conflict. And we’ve got posters, a synopsis and a trailer for the movie.

In order to save the world and bring his true love back to life, a clever mortal thief (Brenton Thwaites) teams up with a powerful and vengeful god (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) to stop the god of darkness (Gerard Butler), who hopes to destroy both this life and the afterlife.

The new trailer for Alex Proyas’ Gods of Egypt is here, and it raises a lot of questions about the film such as how come there’s a lot of White people in Ancient Egypt?

The survival of mankind hangs in the balance as an unexpected mortal hero Bek [Brenton Thwaites] undertakes a thrilling journey to save the world.

But with a quest to retrieve magic objects and pass tests of courage and sacrifice (not to mention Horus spends a few of the time with just the one returned eye, which means depth perception issues), can they defeat Set’s terrible henchmen and army of creatures?

Still, there’s an impressive cast to look forward to: Game Of Thrones’ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau plays the noble God of Horus, who has his eyes torn out and is banished by the evil Set (Gerard Butler).
