1st Impression:Clash Of The Titans-Trailer

Ever since I was a kid I was always a fan of greek mythol­ogy and I watched most of the movies based on those sto­ries grow­ing up.One of the movies I remem­ber the most was the 1981 clas­sic Clash Of The Titans which at the time had some of the great­est spe­cial effects i’d ever seen.Not only did I become a huge fan of this movie,but I also was intro­duced to the work of Ray Har­ry­hausen who did mem­o­rable spe­cial effects for other movies I enjoyed. When I first heard they doing a remake of this clas­sic film like always I cringed at the thought of another child­hood favorite  being ruined. My only com­fort was that the modern-day spe­cial effects would make a great story better.

After learn­ing about the cast which includes

  • Sam Wor­thing­ton as Perseus
  • Liam Nee­son as Zeus
  • Ralph Fiennes as Hades
  • Gemma Arter­ton as Io

With a solid cast I fig­ured it was going to be good. After see­ing the trailer I see this movie doing the orig­i­nal jus­tice. While they may go crazy with effects if the over­all story stays true to the orig­i­nal I think it’ll make money.It’s nice to see the new gen­er­a­tion get intro­duced to an old favorite.

Check out both the trailer for the 81 clas­sic as well as the nice and new 2010 version.Enjoy!

I agree with Handel. Looks like 300 Part 2.

Looks pretty good from the trailer, I like swords and sorcery flicks, will definitely peep it.

Didn't cringe, didn't cheer. I am so jaded at this point man. I will probably go see this expecting them to horrendously mess it up just like Transformers. The trailer gave no inkling as to what the story was so unless you did see the original, you really have no idea. All they showcased was action which makes me feel that the flick will be light on actuall writing.Yeah the original had a buttload of claymation and stopmotion photography (big time stuff then), but it focused on the story - the special effects were only there because of what needed to be on screen. This seems the opposite (by the trailer) - seems like it will focus on over the top 300-style action of real man vs special effects and the plot will be an afterthought.

Might as well let Bay direct.

I really hope to be wrong on what I have just typed out.
