First Video: Tarsem’s‘Immortals’{Updated} | /Film

Update:A leak of the full trailer, in measurably better quality, is now available. Since it doesn’t seem to be the official release, we’ve just added it to this post and bumped. Look out for the official release, hopefully with HD, very soon.

Last night E! showed part of the first trailer forTarsem Singh‘sImmortals, and a bootleg video of the segment is online. The footage seems to make up most of the film’s teaser trailer, and shows off a lot of post-300action, filtered through Tarsem’s recognizable style, and shows off most of the core cast that includesHenry Cavill,Stephen Dorff,Isabel Lucas,Freida Pinto,Luke Evans,Kellan Lutz,John HurtandMickey Rourke. Check it out after the break.

Beyond even the fact of the annoying voice-over, the quality here is pretty lousy. Though in a way that adds to the aesthetic— it makesImmortalslook like a dusty VHS tape of a forgotten film from the early’80s. Which is what it should be, in a way. That rapid-fire bow action at the end, that is so reminiscent ofHawk the Slayer, sure didn’t help break the comparison.

Part of the attraction here for those who haven’t seenThe TudorsorStardustwill be a look at Henry Cavill, the next Superman, going through action beats for Tarsem. He looks great, and it is really easy to imagine him wearing the big‘S.’

We’ll update with a post for the high-quality trailer when it arrives.Immortalsopens on November 11.

Here’s the better quality full video:
