Henry Cavill and Freida Pinto have already been lined up to star in the mythological epic, which will be helmed by The Fall director Tarsem Singh.
Produced by the team that made the similar sword and sandals blockbuster 300, War Of The Gods centres on warrior Theseus (Cavill) as he teams up with oracle priestess Phaedra (Pinto) to battle with the immortal Greek gods.
Universal and Relativity Media are backing the movie, which is slated to begin production next month.
Rourke recently signed up to play the lead character's father Corin in the Conan The Barbarian remake.
