Anyone who loves over-stylized historical action with fantasy elements à la 300 can’t ignore War of the Gods by Tarsem Singh. The visually stunning slaughter with Henry Cavill will be shown late on Saturday evening on Sat.1. The Witcher and Superman star prepared extremely hard for the shootonly to suffer severe physical exertion.
That’s what War of the Gods is about
The sadistic King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) wants Revenge on the gods who he blames for the death of his family. To do this, he wants to free the Titans who were once imprisoned by the gods. To stop Hyperion, Zeus raised Theseus (Henry Cavill) on Earth disguised as a human. To defeat Hyperion he has to find the powerful Epeiros bow.
Henry Cavill prepared excessively for the fantasy action
In an interview with Access Hollywood (via Digital Spy), Cavill talked about training extremely hard for the War of the Gods shoot:
I got up at four in the morning, trained for a few hours and then worked for a day. But as soon as I got out of the Tudors we were able to complete the full training. In February it was about eight hours a day.
According to his own statement, Cavill sustained hundreds of bruises and cuts while filming War of the Gods. The work for his eight-pack ultimately paid off. The fantasy action blockbuster grossed over $226 million worldwide on a budget of $75 million financial hit at the box office.
