God of War is one that'd be badass. I mean...an R rated Greek mythology w/ major ass kicking.

Another problem with the original: why animate Calibos? He was the size of a normal person, and the makeup they used for close-ups looked perfectly fine. The animation clashed (no pun intended) with the live action stuff.

I think it the feet and tail aspect. Specifically the feet though.

^ which begs the question, had the merging of non-human CGI limbs to 'live' actors been implemented before (in a feature length film) as in both 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe' and 'Prince Caspian'? I think the 'Jim Henson Greek Mythology' series had, but I'm not sure.

as for mythology or in this case, Chinese legend I'd love to see a film version of Katsuya Terada's 'The Monkey King' as I originally followed it in Heavy Metal magazine initially. The material and sheer feriocity and sexual explicitness seems like a film version in the making.

Seems like it's plot is bit different for sure from the classic one. Cool trailer too!

International Trailer:

<object width="450" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/18145"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/18145" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" width="450" height="241" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object>

Cool trailer but the plot is not so different.

Spoiler:
When Zeus makes his big speech, it's in anger over the attempted drowning of his mortal mistress (the mother of Perseus). However it seems in this version that Perseus blames the Gods, rather than men, for the exile of his mother due to how they often mistreat mortals.

They used to do didn't they? The cinemas in PR annoy the hell out of me though. People on phones, brining their kids and generally making as much noise as possible. Went to the cinema whilst back in England over Christmas and it was worlds apart in every aspect. Damn i miss UK cinemas.

They did very briefly. But only for documentaries and I'm fairly certain the screen wasn't big enough to qualify.

Oh and you forgot out of focus projectors and projectionists that seem to think that 105dB is a constant rather than a peak volume. And I'm talking dialogue scenes here.

I thought that this time around
Spoiler:
Zeus has a conflict with Hades, who wasn't even in the original one. Interesting that to have the two rivals from Schindler's List in the roles. I'm guessing instead of Thetis it's Hades.
I know at least that much will be different.

Solid Snake 02-02-10 08:34 PM

Re: Clash of the Titans remake..
 
Yeah, I kinda chuckled when I saw that in the trailer. It's more prominent this time w/ the international trailer.

I'll again to admit, it's awesome to see Greek Mythology again. I feel like a kid again seeing these gods and whatnot.

Well guess I could've looked on Wikipedia and BOOM the plot's there. I guess I should spoiler it...

Spoiler:
Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus is helpless to save his family from Hades, 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 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.

While I doubt it will happen, it would be cool if they had a bit on Medusa's origin at some point that isn't just spoken about. Maybe a pre-titles sequence.

RocShemp 02-04-10 06:48 PM

Re: Clash of the Titans remake..
 
Spoiler:
So then Perseus and Hades are the titular titans this time around?

My guess.

Sounds cool to me. :up:

As for Medusa, maybe they'll include a flashback as the witches tell her tale. Though a pre-title sequence would be awesome.

"Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" is coming too. :D It actually looks kinda cool for a kid flick.

You know, the teaser didn't phase me for Percy Jones. I need more films like Clash of The Titans. My next hope could be God of War....which would be awesome cuz who doesn't like seeing a man kill greek gods?

Yeah, that looks really good. And it has a very good cast. I hope Logan Lehrmas has a bright future ahead of him.

well shit I guess I did see the trailers. I liked the actors involved but it doesn't call out to me. I might see it if I get a good word from the guys here.

The "Percy Jackson" books are really good, actually. I was a big Greek Mythology (and "Clash of the Titans") fan growing up but they pull some obscure references. So much so that it made me go look things up, which I haven't done in a good long while because of a book.

I have high hopes for both of these films.

That's enough to make me wanna buy the books. :up: Thanks Draven.

I only want one because I want the character to be more than some random CGI creation. These movies never give that character much beyond the standard scary monster treatment, and a brief flashback illustrating what a tragic creature she is would add some depths. While I am not certain the being seen in the previews commanding the scorpions is Calibos, it would be cool to see him pre-creature as well.

RocShemp 02-08-10 01:06 PM

Re: Clash of the Titans remake..
 
If you look carefully in some of the trailers, you see the being controlling the scorpions is a member of Perseus' party. I think Calibos is the long-haired disfigured guy that has his back towards us and turns his head to face the camera.

Damn, Liam Neeson can really sell a line like "Release the Kraken"

I was thinking the same thing - very few actors can do that, for example Neeson, Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee. All they have to do is talk and they make anything sound cool.

I used to look forward to thosr one liners from Sean Connery too but that was more funny sounding than cool sounding. Gerard Butler is my new favorite funny one liner:

300 - Come get shome!...This ish Shparta!
Gamer - Let me Loosh!
