Despite how the trailer for "The Cold Light of Day" starts, the movie isn't actually about Bruce Willis and Henry Cavill as a supportive father-son team, who enjoy a nice family vacation, yachting around the world and having a good old time.
Turns out that daddy was in the CIA, and he didn't tell his family, including his son, until it was too late.

The comparisons between "Immortals" and "300" are inevitable, but the stars of Tarsem Singh's big budget take on Greek mythology say that the flick is a lot more than "just a guy movie." Sure it's got lots of violence, slo-mo and special effects, but it's also got the impressive visual stamp of Singh which is something that can be appreciated by everyone.
"This is Tarsem Singh we're talking about here, it's a visual spectacle, and the 3-D only adds to that," leading man Henry Cavill said. "I will say in the past I've been skeptical of [3-D, but] after seeing this, the technology has come along so far. This is incredible, and all the violence in the movie, if people don't like that, it's actually art-ified. It becomes a 'beautific' ballet of blood if you will."
Plus, the ladies will love the film's "incredible love story."

Batman protects the 99% from the plentiful crazies Gotham City has to offer, but he won't stand beside them on Wall Street. Despite rumors to the contrary, "The Dark Knight Rises" won't be shooting in New York's Zuccotti Park, so you can kiss those Bruce Wayne-meets-Wall Street protestors mashup fantasies goodbye, unfortunately.

"Immortals" Mondays forges on with another exclusive look behind the scenes of the upcoming Greek mythological epic. Last Monday, you learned a little bit more about Theseus, played by Henry Cavill. This week, we take a look at the work that went into the fight scenes even before Cavill and the rest of the cast showed up on set.
It takes a lot of hard work to look like an expert Grecian warrior, and this week's video shows us just the kind of training the stunt team from Montreal went through to become the soldiers you'll see on screen.
Check back next Monday for more exclusives from "Immortals," which hits theaters November 11. Also, let us know what you what you think in the comment section below and on Twitter!

"Immortals" Mondays continue this week! After offering you an exclusive first look at the "Immortals: Gods and Heroes" graphic novel — including a full chapter excerpt — last week, we're back today with a first look at leading man Henry Cavill in the thick of the mythological action.
In this exclusive still from Tarsem Singh's latest picture of epic proportions is Theseus (Cavill), a mere peasant who is elevated to mythic heights when Zeus (Luke Evans) and his pantheon of Gods select him to defend their number against the Titans, led by Hyperion (Mickey Rourke). In his possession is the Epirius Bow, a legendary weapon manufactured by the god of war Ares (Daniel Sharman) — Robin Hood, eat your heart out!

There was a time where the plot for Tarsem Singh's latest flick "Immortals" was under wraps, but that time is no more. The latest trailer for the stylized retelling of Greek mythology lays the story out clearly for the ill-informed.
No question that this is the longest "Immortals" teaser to date, clocking in at two and a half minutes in length. The narrator sets the stage for the battle between humans and the Greek gods: once there was a war in heaven, and the victors called themselves gods and named the losers as titans. Now evil King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) is trying to release the titans and defeat the gods, and it's up to mortal Theseus (Henry Cavill) to stop him.
