Lo, CLASH OF THE TITANS Casting Hath Begun(eth)!!
|
Sam Worthington is in talks to become Perseus in Louis Leterrier's CLASH OF THE TITANS remake. The role was played by Harry Hamlin in director Desmond Davis' 1981 progenitor.
Worthington's become quite the Genre Boy these days, having recently filmed TERMINATOR SALVATION and James Cameron's AVATAR (whose previously rumored IMAX 3D release is now official, by the way).
Worthington's CLASH casting comes as Tarsem Singh is closing in on THE TUDORS' Henry Cavill to play the lead in WAR OF THE GODS (obviously unrelated to the original BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode of the same name).
The projects have different plots, but each film will be made for under $100 million because the visual effects will be accomplished using the greenscreen techniques that made "300" so visually arresting.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.
And, yes, I know my headline really doesn't really work too well at all. (shrugs)...
