The creators talk about Mickey Rourke's character Hyperion in Immortals
Immortals Hyperion character featurette.
Tarsem Singh (director): There's no more original bad boy than Mickey. He's just awesome.
Jeff G. Waxman (executive producer): King Hyperion is this great evil character.
Charley Parlapanides (screenwriter): He's going to free the titans. And while everyone else thinks it's nonsense, he knows it's real.
This is the kind of person that is quite scarred. Basically has an agenda in life.
Mickey got that right weight. He's just brilliant.
"The gods may be on your side. But tomorrow I unleash the titans."
Freida Pinto (Phaedra): For someone like him to play this role, that is not threatening in a way that is loud and dangerous. It's all really inside him. But it's very, very scary, nonetheless. It's almost sinister.
"Witness hell."
He's scary, he's gifted. He's back. And we're thrilled.
