With the poor decisions made on the remake of Clash of the Titans, I am not surprised that Leterrier wanted to distance himself from the sequel. But now someone else has to play in that mess of a sandbox he left behind and it looks like Jonathan Liebesman is that guy.
After Louis Leterrier declined to return for the inevitable Clash of the Titans sequel, Warner Bros. had to move on to other possible directors. Back in June we got word that Battle: Los Angeles director, Jonathan Liebesman, was at the top of a shortlist of directors – now it’s been confirmed that he will direct Clash of the Titans 2.
I haven’t seen much of Jonathan Liebesman because there really isn’t much. He has a handful of films of which I have only seen one.
I am indifferent on him as a director for this, and it seems they are going with someone vague and relatively experienced but lesser known.
I just hope he can make something of the world they have left him with. I will wait on a script synopsis before I build any anticipation on this.
