Hollywood Reporter tells us that Lawrence Kasdan has been wrangled to script a remake of 1981’s CLASH OF THE TITANS. Travis Beacham had previously made a run at scripting the same project.

Don't get mad at me for making a lewd sword joke. Hollywood Reporter refers to "Kasdan's mighty pen".

I’ve generally found Kasdan’s work inconsistent in execution, but almost always interesting. His approaching this material makes a whole lotta sense to me, especially because he stands a good chance of creating characters who are accessible – a defecit which often flaws films of this nature. A sweeping adventure with a lot of (genuine) heart and emotion is just what we need right about now.
