EMPIRE, RAIDERS, And JEDI's Kasdan Tackles Another Kind Of Mythology!! He's On The CLASH OF THE TITANS Remake Now!!

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. With Kasdan on-board, hero Perseus will now be middle aged, angst ridden, and running about half naked swinging around his…sword. I’m kidding (I think). 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. Read the original article HERE!!!
