Trailer for AGORA

This is a film about Hypatia of Alexandria - played by the always good Rachel Weisz - during the onset of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Hard to tell if it's going to be any good at all from this trailer, perhaps looks a little dull, but it's not the best made trailer ever, and it's difficult to see what actually happens...

Set in fourth century Alexandria, the story tells of the love of a slave, played by Max Minghella, for his master, played by Rachel Weisz. She is Hypatia, a teacher of Neoplatonist philosophy and, for the film’s purposes at least, a rather infamous atheist. The possibility of their romance is set against the uprising of Christianity.
