I’ve had a few people e-mail me about the upcoming Egyptian epic AGORA, the new movie from Spanish maestro Alejandro Amenabar (THE OTHERS, OPEN YOUR EYES) and they keep telling me to think “BIG”. Like really, really big.
CLEOPATRA sized big.
Rope of Silicon have come across some new photo’s today which give us our first look at Rachel Weisz as Hypatia the legendary astronomer who whilst trapped in the Library of Alexandria attempted to save the world’s old wisdom from the growing religious riots.
Max Minghella is the poor slave stuck in the middle between his love for his mistress and the freedom religion will offer him.
Remember, BIG…
No CGI Colosseum like GLADIATOR in this one…
LOTS OF AERIAL IMAGES FROM THE SET OF THE MOVIE HERE
AGORA is set for a December 2009 release.
