If the incredible amount of energy and money that's been put in the construction of the movie sets is any indicator to believe then the movie Agora is going to be be a quite impressive live reconstitution of Roman Egypt.

Here below a first look at Rachel Weisz as Hypatia the astrologer-philosopher:

Plot:
"A historical drama set in Roman Egypt, concerning a slave who turns to the rising tide of Christianity in the hopes of pursuing freedom while also falling in love with his master, the famous female philosophy professor and atheist Hypatia of Alexandria." (Source: IMDb)

- Rachel Weisz as Hypatia of Alexandria
- Max Minghella as Davus, her slave
- Oscar Isaac as Orestes

The real Hypatia of Alexandria was a Greek scholar from Alexandria in Egypt, considered the first notable woman in mathematics, who also taught philosophy and astronomy. She lived in Roman Egypt, and was killed by a Coptic Christian mob who blamed her for religious turmoil. She has been hailed as a "valiant defender of science against religion", and some suggest that her murder marked the end of the Hellenistic Age.

Let's hope that some Agora movie trailer will be released soon! I'm impatient to see how it will be!
