Summit Entertainment has set release dates for Alex Proyas' Egyptian epic starring Gerard Butler, the final Divergent film and Step Up.
While 2014 isn’t quite here yet, Summit Entertainment is already looking much further down the calendar. In the immediacy Step Up All In—the Avengers of Step Up films with Ryan Guzman, Briana Evigan, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, and Adam Sevani, among others returning—is slated for July 25, 2014 to close out the summer in style. But in more franchise focus, Summit has also slated Gods of Egypt epic from Alex Proyas for February 12, 2016 and Allegiant, the third chapter in the Divergenttrilogy, for March 18, 2016.
Gods of Egypt is the latest film from The Crow and I, Robot director Proyas and stars 300’s Gerard Butler, Game of Thrones’ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Brenton Thwaites, Geofrrey Rush, and Courtney Eaton. Set in ancient Egypt, Butler plays a Set, god of the old world who usurps the Egyptian throne, thrusting the land into war. A group of rebels led by idealistic Bek (Thwaites) joins forces with the sky god Horus (Coster-Waldau) to do battle for Egypt and Bek’s ladylove.
Allegiant will mark the final chapter in the Divergentsaga which begins in March 2014 with the so-titled Divergent, starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James and Kate Winslet. Woodley and James are set to return for this final story based on the bestselling books by Veronica Roth. The second film of that series, Insurgent, is due out March 20, 2015.
