Pompeii is the first major movie for Kit Harington where he plays an enslaved gladiator who falls in love with a woman (Emily Browning) who is about to be married to a Roman senator. Of course she loves him back, and there’s also mount Vesuvius which is about to erupt and destroy the city, so things are about to become seriously hot, lava hot.
Pompeii is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil). Premiers on 21 February in 3D cinemas. Also starring Carrie-Anne Moss, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Kiefer Sutherland.
