G.I. Joe: Retaliation and District 13: Ultimatum's Elodie Yung,has been cast as the goddess Hathor in the epic fantasy Gods of Egypt says Deadline.
The story is set in ancient Egypt. "Game of Thrones" star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau plays Horus, the god of the sky, who teams up with a human thief (Brenton Thwaites) and Hathor, the goddess of love, on a magical quest to avenge the death of his father, Osiris.
Gerard Butler would
play Set (aka. Seth, Sutekh), the god of the desert, storms, and
foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion. Set killed his brother Osiris,
prompting Set's nephew Horus to seek revenge. Failing in the attempt
and being disfigured as a result, it's up to a young human thief in love
with a slave to help defeat the mad god. Geoffrey Rush will “play the sun god Ra, the father of Set and Osiris who is also Set’s ultimate target.” Australian newcomer Courtney Eaton (Mad Max: Fury Road) plays a slave girl who catches the eye of Thwaites. Chadwick Boseman is set to play the god of wisdom Thoth.
Alex Proyas will call action using a script he wrote with Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama ("Dracula Untold")
Proyas and Basil Iwanyk are producing.
Production begins shortly to meet its release date of February 12, 2016.
