Big Hollywood Film making synopsis .

1. BY ADAM CHITWOOD DECEMBER 16, 2015
Just a month after the initial trailer debut, Summit
Entertainment and Lionsgate have released a new
trailer for its colorful fantasy actioner Gods of
Egypt. Directed by Dark City and The
Crow helmer Alex Proyas, the movie stars Gerard
Butler as Set, the cruel god who ushered in an age
of darkness after usurping the throne. When the

2. young mortal Bek (Brenton Thwaites) enlists the
help of another powerful god, Horus (Nikolaj
Coster-Waldau), they lead a rebellion to overthrow
the merciless king.
This trailer very much feels like the studio
attempting a do-over after the response that very
silly initial trailer received. This new cut ups the
stakes and makes this all seem deadly
serious before smash cutting to money shots of all
the big VFX creatures. Essentially, this trailer throws
everything it’s got at audiences in the hopes that
someone, somewhere is mildly interested in seeing
this thing.
It doesn’t help that Lionsgate and Proyas have
already officially apologized for filling their cast of
Egyptians with a bunch of white folks—how many
times have you see the people involved apologize
for their movie months before it comes out?
Honestly, Gods of Egypt doesn’t look that bad—it’s
no more ridiculous than the new Clash or Wrath of

3. the Titans—but I’m dubious that audiences are
keen on seeing a big sword and sandals spectacle.
Sci-fi/fantasy films that aren’t part of an established
franchise haven’t fared great as of late
(reminder: Jupiter Ascendingand Seventh Son are
movies that were released in 2015), so the odds
would appear to be stacked against Gods of
Egypt even without the goofiness of these trailers.
Anyway, take a look for yourself at the trailer below,
which is followed by Collider’s own mash-up of the
first trailer with Stargate and a little extra
surprise. Gods of Egypt also stars Elodie
Yung, Abbey Lee, Geoffrey Rush, Chadwick
Boseman, and Courtney Eaton and opens in
theaters on February 26, 2016.

4. Magic, monsters, gods and … 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.
