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. Budget: 150M Filming begins March 20, 2014 in Sydney (FOX Studios). __________________________________________________________________________________NEWSAlex Proyas To Direct ‘Gods Of Egypt’ For Summit Thunder Road Finds Funds In China And Middle East; Sets Up ‘Gang Story’ Remake For Liam Neeson, Daniel Espinosa 'Game of Thrones' Star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in Talks to Lead 'Gods of Egypt' Gerard Butler Circling Lionsgate’s ‘Gods Of Egypt’ Geoffrey Rush Joining Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Gerard Butler in 'Gods of Egypt' (Exclusive) Brenton Thwaites Lands ‘Gods Of Egypt’ Lead Courtney Eaton Takes Female Lead in Alex Proyas' Gods of Egypt Summit Entertainment Dates Allegiant, Gods of Egypt and Step Up All In No Clash of the Titans 3 Anytime Soon Chadwick Boseman Set For Summit’s ‘Gods Of Egypt’ Elodie Yung Joins Summit’s ‘Gods of Egypt’ ‘Gods,’ ‘San Andreas’ Set to Start in Australia Synopsis & promo art for Alex Proyas' Gods of Egypt starring Gerard Butler Gods of Egypt Promotional Art Gerard Butler Gets God-Like on the 'Gods of Egypt' Set Lionsgate will now release GODS OF EGYPT on April 8, 2016. 1 Quote
