More new photos today from a Cannes Film Festival film. Alejandro Amenábar's Agora will be premiering at Cannes in the next few weeks. Rachel Weisz stars as the famous female philosophy professor and atheist Hypatia. The story follows Max Minghella as her slave Davus, who turns to the rising tide of Christianity in the hopes of pursuing freedom while also falling in love with his master. These new photos come from the blog D*Hollywood and are a great addition to the early teaser trailer we featured in February as well as just great photos to look at. I definitely can't wait to see this at Cannes, as I got a feeling it could be incredible. Agora is directed by Spanish-Chilean filmmaker Alejandro Amenábar, of Open Your Eyes, Butterfly Tongues, The Others, and The Sea Inside previously. The screenplay was co-written by Amenábar and his writing partner Mateo Gil...

Normally I don't like period pieces too much, but this looks pretty damn good. Agora stars Rachel Weisz as Hypatia of Alexandria and Max Minghella as her slave named Davus. The story follows Davus who turns to the rising tide of Christianity in the hopes of pursuing freedom while also falling in love with his master, the famous female philosophy professor and atheist Hypatia. This is an early promo trailer and this is no dialogue yet, but it's look really good so far.
