Wrath Of The Titans

Synopsis: A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus-the demigod son of Zeus-is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Posei

ZEUS:
In ancient times, the world was

ruled by gods and monsters.

But it was the half-god Perseus,

my son...

...who defeated the Kraken

and saved humanity.

For his courage, I offered him

a place to rule at my side.

But Perseus...

...was strong-willed

and chose a different path.

He vowed to live as a man.

Even when fate took his wife...

...he would not pray for help, from me...

...or the other gods.

And now the time of the gods is ending.

But the son of Zeus cannot hide

from his destiny forever.

PERSEUS:

Now pull it in. Do it again.

Throw in the other one real quick.

Go on. I'll tie this off.

Good catch today, Dad.

- Where'd you get that?

- I made it myself.

You made it yourself? Heh.

HELIUS:
I want to be a good god

and do good things.

PERSEUS:
There's no such thing as good gods.

HELIUS:
Some of them are good.

PERSEUS:
Ah. Helius, there's more to life

than gods and Titans.

Hey, Clea. I have a confession to make.

I, uh, needed him for chores

so he skipped studying.

Now, you do a good job, make me proud.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

I know you're here.

ZEUS:

I visit him sometimes in his dreams.

He's like his father. A strong-willed boy.

You just passing through?

No.

I need your help...

...Perseus.

You're the great god Zeus.

You don't need my help.

There is a calamity coming.

It will affect us all. Gods and men.

- The humans may have stopped praying to us...

- With good reason.

...but there are consequences.

Without prayer, we gods lose our power.

When our power leaves us,

all our work comes undone. All of it.

(RUMBLING)

The walls of Tartarus are falling.

It is emptying all its demons onto the earth.

The first are already here.

If our power diminishes much further,

we gods will become mortal.

We will die and Kronos himself will escape.

It will mean chaos. The end of the world.

What am I meant to do?

This is business for gods.

We need all our children now.

Perhaps, together...

...we can remedy this.

But we need every shred of power, Perseus.

I will never leave my son.

I know your heart better

than you know it yourself.

You believe your human half

makes you unworthy to join us.

You will learn someday that...

...being half-human...

...makes you stronger than a god,

not weaker.

I think you should go.

Sleep well, Perseus.

PERSEUS:

I will never leave my son.

(GASPS)

(RUMBLING)

UNDERWORLD VOICE:

Zeus.

ZEUS:

Poseidon.

Brother.

It has been an age.

Indeed, it has.

Ares.

My son.

Where's my brother Perseus?

(ARES SCOFFS)

Gone fishing?

Yes.

What a brave and noble decision.

Let us go, then.

ARES:
Tartarus.

The great prison of the underworld.

ZEUS:

Brother Hades!

We have come to your domain...

...as agreed!

Show yourself to us!

After so many years...

...the sons of Kronos, together once more.

Brothers in arms.

Hades...

...you are the great

ruler of the underworld.

Allow us to enter and help you rebuild...

...the walls of Tartarus.

My beloved brother,

who banished me here for eternity...

...to look after our father, now seeks...

...reconciliation.

We must forget the past, brother...

...and unite.

Yes.

But on my terms.

(GROWLS)

Poseidon!

Above you!

Poseidon.

It has begun.

(CREATURES ROAR)

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

Helius?!

Helius!

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

WOMAN 1:

Stay away, stay away!

CLEA:

Helius?

Helius.

(CREATURE ROARS)

MAN:

Chimera!

Helius!

Have you seen Helius?!

Helius!

Get back!

Keep away! Its venom catches fire!

Stay down!

Helius, go with them!

Take him!

I'll find you! Go!

Go!

- Dad!

WOMAN 2:
Run!

PERSEUS:

Go!

Helius!

Helius!

HELIUS:
Dad, hurry!

PERSEUS:
I'm coming, son!

Helius! Stay there!

HELIUS:

Dad!

Helius!

Here!

Come and get me!

(HISSES)

(PERSEUS YELLS)

(GRUNTS)

(YELLS)

What are you waiting for?! Burn me!

CLEA:

Sit.

(PERSEUS GRUNTS)

Ohh.

Things are happening...

...in the world, Perseus.

You know that, you have instincts.

The son of a god.

A son needs a father.

I made a vow to lo.

I know, I know,

I was there delivering your son.

You vowed to your wife

you'd never let Helius wield a sword.

That you'd live with him

as a simple fisherman.

Well, that's a fine game in normal times.

But if you have power,

you also have a duty.

Just fix my body...

...and leave my soul to me.

(GROANS)

Where are we going?

PERSEUS:

I need to speak to my father.

There's nothing to be frightened of.

PERSEUS:

This is the Mount of Idols.

The closest place to the heavens.

It's a place where people come

to worship the gods.

Or at least they used to come.

HELIUS:

Zeus?

Father.

(WIND HOWLS)

(THUNDER CRASHES)

Poseidon.

What happened?

POSEIDON:

Hades and Ares have joined Kronos...

...against humanity.

All the gods have disappeared.

- I fear the worst.

- Here, here.

I got you, I got you.

(POSEIDON GROANS)

Where's my father?

Captured.

You must journey to the underworld

and free him.

They took my father.

POSEIDON:

You're the only hope left in this world.

Or there will be oblivion.

How do I do it?

I'm only half a god.

Then you must find another half-god.

Agenor.

He's my son.

He's with Queen Andromeda.

Tell him to take you to the Fallen One.

Poseidon.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

Take this. Use it.

If my son...

...survives and proves worthy...

...give it to him.

(CREATURES CHITTERING)

My own son betrays me.

Only when it suits you,

you remember I am your son.

Hades.

You're sweating like a human, brother.

Next, it'll be tears.

ARES:

Don't waste words on him.

Kronos is waiting...

...Father.

What?

Our father has offered us a deal.

You fool!

If we help him to escape Tartarus...

...he will allow we few gods who remain

to keep our immortality.

- No!

- Let him speak.

Let him speak.

Are you becoming weak?

You're in the underworld, Ares,

where it's wise to obey me.

You forget our father

once tried to kill us.

No, I remember everything.

And what exactly does our father want from

us in return for our precious immortality?

We simply offer him the last of your

divine powers so that he may free himself.

Oh, Hades.

What have I done to you?

(LAUGHS)

You laugh as if you had a choice.

There is no choice.

I hope you have enough of them.

HADES:

Pull him.

You'll need it more than me.

(HORSE WHINNIES)

Pegasus.

Go on.

He likes you.

Me, on the other hand....

I love you.

I know.

Come on.

Eh, whoa.

Keep it straight. Have it look good.

Come on, boy.

SOLDIER 1:

More Chimera! Archers!

SOLDIER 2:

Go, go, go!

SOLDIER 3:

Ready! Fire!

SOLDIER 4:
Chimera!

SOLDIER 5:
Ready!

SOLDIER 6:

Hold your lines. Hold your lines!

SOLDIER 3:

Out of the way!

ANDROMEDA:

Hold your fire!

- I said hold your fire!

KORRINA:
Queen Andromeda.

PERSEUS:

Ah, keep it straight. Oy!

Whoa!

(SOLDIERS CHEER)

PERSEUS:

You used to be a lot better at this.

(WHINNIES)

EUSTACHIUS:

All hail Perseus, killer of the Kraken.
