War of the Gods, an effects laden action movie set in ancient Greece and featuring an array of fantastical beings fighting against men and Olympian deities, is now in development. Relativity Media purchased the spec script by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides and will finance the picture which the company hopes will be shooting before cameras before the end of the year. Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) is already onboard to direct the picture while 300 producers Mark Canton and Gianni Nunnari will produce along with Ryan Kavanaugh.

"Gods, titans, warriors and a fantastic script. An incredibly visionary filmmaker like Tarsem and a partner like Relativity who fought and won already in a battle in getting the package that everybody wanted," Nunnari was quoted as saying in Variety.

Canton told the industry mag "Gianni and I both love epic mythology, and we have worked hard to find another project that will challenge the senses and once again take audiences into a fresh new cinematic world."

The story follows the young warrior prince Theseus as he commands an army made up of humans against an evil force that has the strength of demons and titans on its side. The Greek gods will also be involved in the melee.
