Gods Gets Pinto (& Roarke?)

Slumdog Millionaire star (and cutie) Freida Pinto is joining director Tarsem Singh's "War of the Gods" aka Dawn of War says Variety.

The film follows Theseus (Henry Cavill) , a young warrior who leads both men and the Olympian gods in a battle to defeat the Titans, the long-imprisoned former deities who plan to use demons to restore their power.

Pinto plays Phaedra, an oracle priestess who joins Theseus' quest.

Jason Keller penned the script's most recent draft for the project--after Charley Parlapanides and Vlas Parlapanides. The film is described as a "hardcore action film done in Renaissance painting style" with modern touches.

Gianni Nunnari, Mark Canton and Ryan Kavanaugh will produce the action pic.

Meantime in related news Deadline Hollywood says Mickey Rourke is up for a role in the picture as well...but he is also circling to play Corin the father, in Marcus Nispel’s Conan

Shooting on War kicks off in April which is slated for 2011 release.
