The original Clash of the Titans is a bad movie in so many ways… but also CLASSIC in so many ways as well. When I first heard that they were lining up to do a remake of it, I actually thought it was a great idea. Some time ago I got my hands on a copy of the script, and I remained a believer that this remake could be great. Then they announced the director, Louis Leterrier (who also directed the Transporter and the new Hulk movie) and the cast, (Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes) and I was sold.
The movie has now gone from pre-production and is filming full speed ahead. The good folks over at ComingSoon give us this synopsis:
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.
Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades??? Wicked! Mark my words… this is going to be a very fun movie.
