The trade reports that Lutz will portray the sea god Poseidon in the film. The film also stars Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke and Freida Pinto. The story follows Theseus (Cavill) who sets out to defeat the older Greek gods to restore balance to mankind. Pinto will play Phaedra, an oracle who joins Theseus on his quest and Rourke will play King Hyperion.

Tarsem Singh will be directing from the most recent script written by Jason Keller. The original script by Charley Parlapanides and Vlas Parlapanides was also rewritten by Christian Gudegast.

    Great news, Tarsem is visual master genius, Henry Cavill deserves the lead role, and both Freida and Kellan are charming people. This will be another of Tarsem's master pieces.
