GODS OF EGYPT Finds Female Lead In Courtney Eaton

Remember this lovely face, ’cause Courtney Eaton is set to play the female lead in Alex Proyas‘ upcoming Gods of Egypt! Yep, this pretty lady joins previously announced Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Geoffrey Rush, Gerard Butler and Brenton Thwaites in the movie which tells the story of a common thief teaming with Gods on a magical quest. Proyas directs the movie from a script written by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, which revolves around Waldau’s character Horus, who fails in his attempt to get revenge and avenge the death of his father Osiris. A young human thief, played by Thwaites, who (just for a record) is in love with a slave (as you already guess, that’s Eaton!) then helps Horus to defeat the mad god. As for Eaton, she is also set to play Mad Max: Fury Road, which is currently set to hit theaters on May 15th, 2015. Gods of Egypt is still without an official release date, but I hope we’ll soon have more updates to share, so make sure you stay tuned!
