‘Clash Of The Titans’ Releases New Posters, A New Trailer

Hollywood is planning to remake another classic film but this time around, I’m actually on board with those plans. The original film Clash of the Titans (which starred Harry Hamlin and Laurence Olivier and is based on the Greek myth of Perseus ) was released in 1981 … a time when movie making special effects were still in a primitive state (at least, compared to today’s standards). But even back then, Clash relied on FX techniques that were not up to par with really big budget movies of the time (ie. Star Wars ). What I’m getting at is that the movie’s FX looked cheesy even back then. Warner Bros. is releasing a big budget remake of Clash of the Titans starring Sam Worthington as Perseus and from everything I’ve seen thus far, it looks effing fantastic. Here is one of the film’s movie posters: Directed by Louis Leterrier, the March 26 release stars Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Danny Huston, Gemma Arterton, Mads Mikkelsen, Jason Flemyng, Alexa Davalos, Izabella Miko, Nicholas Hoult and Pete Postlethwaite. In Clash of the Titans , the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny. I am such a huge fan of the original that I was wary of a remake but thankfully, the trailers I’ve seen for the film have impressed the hell out of me. As much as I love the original film, I always found it cheesy as hell … I’m glad to see that the remake takes all the best parts of the myth and treats them very seriously. After the jump, check out a couple more movie posters and a effing amazing trailer for the new version of Clash of the Titans … Ye gods, the monsters look AMAZING!!! I’m deffo adding Clash of the Titans to my list of Must See movies for 2010. It really looks like next Spring will bring us a great batch of movies … Iron Man 2 , Sex and the City 2 and now Clash of the Titans . Any fans of the original out there? What are your thoughts on this remake after having seen this ridic movie trailer? [ Source , Source ]
