If you had problems with Ridley Scott's all-white
Exodus: Gods and Kings then prepare yourself for Alex Proyas' Gods of Egypt
starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Horus, Chadwick Boseman as Thoth, Elodie Yung
as Hathor, Breton Thwaites as Bek, Gerard Butler as Set, who I assume spent
his formative years in Scotland, and Courtney Eaton as Zaya.
The movie follows Bek, a human who must team with Horus to defeat the
Set, the merciless god of darkness.
Opening on February 26, Gods of
Egypt also stars Geoffrey Rush as Ra, Rufus Sewell as Ursh, Abbey Lee as Anat,
and Goran D. Kleut as Anubis.
Magic, monsters, gods
and madness reign throughout the palaces and pyramids of the Nile River Valley
in this action-adventure inspired by the classic mythology of Egypt. 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.
