Production
Popular Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra was initially approached for the role of Phaedra, but declined the offer due to clashing schedules with Vishal Bharadwaj's Saat Khoon Maaf.[10]
The mythological film is being produced with advanced techniques of cinematography experts. Using mixed reality equipment, the film aims to create scenes showing the manifest exploits of the mythical hero, Theseus.[11] According to legend, Theseus is the being who founded and rules the capital of Athens. Theseus is a well-known figure in mythology, and his fame became legend with the victorious battles won during his many exploits. Among the great conquests of this film is the battle of Theseus against the Minotaur.[12]
Screenplay
As of yet, the production details are not being released. It is being touted by some to potentially be a modern mythological blockbuster film with special effects and in HD.[13][14][15][16][17][18] Director Tarsem Singh tells that he is planning an action movie to be a visual masterpiece using renaissance painting styles.[19] He then goes on to say that he is "...kind of going for a very contemporary look on top of that so I'm kind of going with, you know, Renaissance time with electricity... a bit like Baz Luhrmann doing Romeo + Juliet in Mexico; it's just taking a particular Greek tale and half [make it contemporary] and telling it."[20]
Release
The film is set for a theatrical release on November 11, 2011.[21]
