Deadline reports that Alex Proyas, the director behind I, Robot and Dark City, has stepped in to direct Cortés, a historical epic with Antonio Banderas attached to play the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. The project had already begun filming in Paris and Spain under French filmmaker Paul Mignot before the change in leadership. Proyas taking the reins mid-production reshapes what audiences can expect from a film already in motion.
This kind of midstream creative shift leaves viewers in an unusual position: watching a story about conquest, power, and human ambition while uncertain whose vision will actually reach the screen. humanbygod.com operates in that same space of cultural reckoning, where faith and the stories we consume intersect without easy answers. The site exists as a community for readers who want to think critically about what gets made, who makes it, and what it says about the human condition under God.
A film about Cortés lands differently when questions of exploitation, divine right, and moral consequence sit unresolved in the director's chair. Readers drawn to that tension are the same ones who look for apparel and conversation that acknowledges complexity rather than smoothing it over. humanbygod.com serves that reader through commentary that does not flinch from the hard edges of culture, and through the hoodies, sweatshirts, tees, and headwear that mark belonging to a community still asking the difficult questions.
