Tarsem Singh directed Immortals, the 2011 fantasy film inspired by Greek mythology and Pandora’s myth. The movie presents a stylized adventure involving Theseus, the gods, King Hyperion, and a box capable of freeing the Titans.
Singh is known for highly visual filmmaking, and Immortals emphasizes elaborate production design, costumes, and carefully composed action imagery. The film does not reproduce Hesiod’s story literally; instead, it combines mythological names and motifs with an original plot.
Henry Cavill plays Theseus, a mortal chosen by Zeus to resist Hyperion’s campaign. Freida Pinto plays Phaedra, and Mickey Rourke plays Hyperion. John Hurt appears as the older version of Zeus’s human disguise, while Luke Evans portrays Zeus in divine form.
Because the movie uses familiar mythological figures, it is sometimes mistaken for a traditional adaptation. Its Pandora is a character in a modern fantasy narrative, not simply the Pandora described in ancient Greek poetry.
