Here’s a full trailer for Agora. Alejandro Amenábar (Abre Los Ojos, The Others, The Sea Inside) directs and wrote the script with Mateo Gil. Rachel Weisz, Max Minghella and Oscar Isaac star in the historical drama detailing a portion of the life of female astronomer/philosopher/atheist Hypatia.
4th century A.D. Egypt under the Roman Empire… Violent religious upheaval in the streets of Alexandria spills over into the city’s famous library. Trapped inside its walls, the brilliant astronomer Hypatia and her disciples fight to save the wisdom of the Ancient World… Among them, the two men competing for her heart: the witty, privileged Orestes and Davus, Hypatia’s young slave, who is torn between his secret love for her and the freedom he knows can be his if he chooses to join the unstoppable surge of the Christians.
Agora doesn’t yet have a US release date.
