Clash of the Trailers
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Yet another film from our youth gets the remake treatment as an updated version of 1981’s Clash of the Titans comes to theaters sometime next year. One of my favorite adventure/fantasy movies as a kid, the mythological tale of Perseus’ quest to save Andromeda features a robotic owl, a flying horse, giant scorpions, Medusa and of course the Kraken. But the real star of the film were the then groundbreaking action sequences and special effects created by the great Ray Harryhausen. So it makes sense that Clash of the Titans gets a computer generated face lift (along with a much needed update of Harry Hamlin’s Perseus) for today’s kids. The only problem is I can’t seem to see a difference, can you?
New super charged formula:
Clash of the Titans (2010)
directed by Louis Leterrier, starring Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes
And the original recipe:
Clash of the Titans (1981)
directed by Desmond Davis, starring Harry Hamlin, Laurence Olivier, Ursula Andress
These two are completely different characters yet somehow look exactly the same.
Villainous half-man half-devil dude, Thallos
Terminator who didn’t know he’s a terminator in Terminator 4 (Sam Worthington) as Perseus
They did manage to gussy up the titles a bit though.
