$\"\"$ <\/a>
Last month<\/a>, the Times of Malta<\/i> posted what was probably the first picture from the set of Agora<\/a><\/i>, Alejandro Amen\u00e1bar\u2019s upcoming film about the 4th-century philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria<\/a>. A few days ago they posted another<\/a>. Looks impressive enough. I wonder when we\u2019ll see the actors in costume.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, wait, there appear to be some more photos over at Notas de Cine<\/a>, which give us a better look at the costumes, etc. \u2014 though it is not clear whether the people wearing them here are actors or just extras.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

There is also a gallery of small-ish pictures, including some interesting aerial shots of the set, at this fan site<\/a> devoted to Rachel Weisz, who plays Hypatia in the film. And finally, the Spanish Turner Classic Movies<\/a> site has this bit of promo art:<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

OCT 31 UPDATE: I just discovered this picture of Amen\u00e1bar and Weisz that appeared in Variety<\/a><\/i> magazine over a month ago:<\/p>\n
