Quick Note: Agora Teaser Trailer

The movie “Agora”, which chronicles the pagan philosopher Hypatia’s attempts to preserve the collected wisdom of Alexandria, has released a teaser trailer.

“Agora” is scheduled for a mid-December 2009 release (rioting Christian mobs are quite Christmas-y). The film is directed by Alejandro Amenabar (“The Others”, “The Sea Inside”), and stars Academy Award-winning English actress Rachel Weisz as Hypatia. For more on the film check out my post from March 2008. Thanks to Rimrunner for the heads-up!

The IMDB synopsis claims that Hypatia was an atheist, where are they getting this? I'm not well versed on the subject.

She was a philosopher, a Pagan in that she was not Christian, but by all accounts mathematics was far more important to her than any religious path.

I want to see it, but do I want to see it, that's the question.
