Big trailer for Amenábar's 'Agora' has arrived

DateSunday, August 30, 2009 at 4:31PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Agora

Alejandro Amenábar next film is a war epic entitled "Agora," and the first feature trailer for the movie has debuted online. Check it out after the jump, because it looks grand indeed, filled with big battles and goodies for your eyes. Oh, and it's got Rachel Weisz in it as well.

Amenábar, of course, is known for his recent films "The Others" and the brilliant drama "Mar adentro" (The Sea Inside), but his directing credits also include "Open Your Eyes" and "Tesis." I'm not the biggest fan of historic flicks going back this much in time, but I admit "Agora" (which is set in the 4th century A.D.) looks intriguing.
