Director Paul W.S. Anderson leaves his crass video-game adaptations behind (and the stunning Mrs. Milla Jovovich at home), as he aims to bring us volcanic period disaster epic, POMPEII and we have the first still!
Rising GAME OF THRONES hunk Kit Harrington leads as Milo, the slave of a shipping tycoon with dreams of buying his freedom and marrying his master’s daughter. It’s a dream soon to turn into a nightmare when he discovers she’s already promised to a corrupt Roman senator and he’s sold to another master who wants him for the gladiatorial arena. However, Milo makes it his mission to save his love when the infamous volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius threatens her life, escaping to rescue his beloved from the doomed city right in the path of a bubbling lava stream.
The 3D adventure film also stars Emily Browning, Kiefer Sutherland, Jared Harris, Carrie-Anne Moss, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jessica Lucas and Paz Vega. It erupts in US cinemas from the 21st February 2014 and the UK 28th February.
