‘Immortals’ Poster with Freida Pinto as Phaedra

A poster with Freida Pinto (looking stunning) as the oracle Phaedra from Immortals has finally been released! It was attached to an article from USA Today about the movie, including quotes from co-star Stephen Dorff. You can see the image of Freida as well as read the article below. Enjoy!

There may be no “i” in team, but sometimes there’s profit.

Alliances are all the rage in Hollywood. You’ve got the X-Men, Fast Five’s rogue band of motorists and the orally fixated kids from Twilight’s team Edward and team Jacob.

Now comes Immortals, which plans to corner the market on Greek gods. And beefcake.

The film, due Nov. 11, touts itself as an Avengers for the historical set, an all-star lineup of mythological icons including Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo and King Hyperion.

Just don’t compare it to a comic book movie.

“They’re going a little haywire with the whole comic book thing,” says Stephen Dorff, who plays Stavros in the picture, directed by Tarsem Singh (The Cell). “Maybe that’s what the kids like, but this is more grounded. We’re not running around in those ridiculous costumes.”

If anything, Immortals celebrates exhibitionism. Singh asked his actors, which include Henry Cavill as Theseus, Mickey Rourke as the evil King Hyperion and Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) as Phaedra, to hit the gym and watch the sweets for the film, which features scantily clad physiques straight from 300.

Set after the mythic Greek struggle between the gods and titans, Immortals tells the story of Hyperion, mad with power, declaring war on humanity and amassing an all-star team of irritable immortals. Mankind is no match until Theseus steps up as a ringer for team human.

Dorff says Immortals will shed the pretension of “fancy accents and standing in front of a lot of green screens, which I’ve never been a big fan of. There are big sets, real props. If you look at Star Wars, the characters are laid out kind of like that. And I get to be Han Solo.”

Still, best not to get too deep, even in Greek mythology, he says.

“This is 300 meets Gladiator,” he says. “It’s an ab-fest.”

Freida Pinto Joins ‘Hear the World’ Campaign

Freida Pinto has joined the campaign for Hear the World – the worldwide initiative to create awareness about hearing loss. She has joined hands with other celebrities such as Ben Kingsley, Tilda Swinton, Sting, Jude Law, Elle MacPherson, Annie Lennox, Amy Winehouse, Lennie Kravitz, Placido Domingo, Renee Zellweger, Jerry Hall, Peter Gabriel and Joe McIntyre to lend her support for the campaign.

As a part of the cause, Freida has been photographed by singer Bryan Adams, who has captured her in the signature pose of the cause. The pictures (hopefully hitting the web soon!) shows her hands cupped behind her ear to convey conscious hearing to people. All other celebs have also been photographed in the similar pose.

The idea behind the campaign is to raise awareness about the issue related to hearing disabilities. Hearing disability is a problem that affects more than 16% of the world’s population.

Welcome to Freida Pinto Fan – Version 5

Just as promised, here is the brand new version of Freida Pinto Fan! I know it’s long overdue, but better late than never, right?
