Set pics of Sam Worthington and Pete Postlethwaite in CLASH OF THE TITANS probably won't turn you to stone. Probably.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a look at Sam Worthington and Pete Postlethwaite in Louis Leterrier's remake of CLASH OF THE TITANS, scooped by the folks at CraveOnline.
I think Postlethwaite looks pretty rad, actually. I assume he's in the Burgess Meredith mentor role to Worthington's Perseus. Worthington himself looks like... well, modern day Sam Worthington in a leather mini-skirt, but I guess short-cropped hair is better than Harry Hamlin's dreamy mane.
Crave has five pics and I pulled two to view here. You can click this link to see all five or click either of the two pics below to see the rest. Enjoy!

Let's just hope that if Sam's character does not speak in an Australian accent that he has learned how to whisper without slipping back into his native tongue. Dude kept bringing me out of "Terminator Salvation" last night all because he could never whisper without dropping his fake accent. Kind of annoying that with the $200 million spent on the film, that they didn't get a voice coach to help him with that or at least loop the damn whispering in post.
-
It's a classic storyline, good cast, and of course the orig '81 movie is fun, too.
-
I still haven't seen the original!
-
Arnie didn't have an american accent. I can understand how could be a bit jarring, but he's playing a machine, you can suspend disbelief a bit can't ya?
-
I was kind of thinking they would go with Hellenistic hairstyles. I guess Worthington wanted a crew cut.
-
I bet the CGI Medusa looks shite compared to Harryhausen's stop-mo one. I'm not anti-CGI but some thing just shouldn't be fooked with.
-
nuff said. still not interested in the movie though
-
Long hair was the look. Besides, they didn't have fucking Norelco's!!
-
Manny the Movie Guy must be gettin' the vapors.
-
What's jarring is that this "machine" - or as I prefer to call him "character" - speaks in American English through 97% of the film except for the scenes where he starts to whisper. It's really no different than dropping a boom mic into the frame, or revealing the opperator's hand inside a puppet's ass. Totally shatters the suspension of disbelief, which is important when making a film about giant deadly robots.
-
And at least Arnie spoke with his Austrian accent 100% of the time in all three of the terminators he starred in. A little silly to have a Terminator not speak with the accent of the country where he's created, but still consistent, unlike what they did to Worthington.
-
ah right. Hmmm hope it's not that off putting.
-
Why does Hollywood always shaved a male actors head? Is it to make him look tough and modern? Russell Crowe went down this road in his Robin Hood update. I dont get it. Hamlins shaggy hair was much cooler and more appropriate
-
is going to suck. That's how insightful and awesome I am. Most people need three set photos to judge a movie.
-
Wow this looks great! Lets hope after this turn their attention to fucking up Jason and the Argonauts
-
is this being guest authored by a 14 year old?
-
just doesn't look right to me
-
Blah blah blah. Boo hoo! Waaaaaah!
Actually I'm looking forward to this. I thought the first one was a lot of fun and it looks like Worthington is going to be the next go to guy for genre films. -

That looks like a dead badger sutchered to Pete's head
by fa_tass_dinomolester
But kick his ass anyway, Roland! And also, bring back Burgess Meredith for this movie and in general. I know he's dead, but I've just been up since 5:00 AM, so so am I.
-
...then Worthington is ok. However, remaking CotT is a poor idea.
-
I hope it has a lovely bum shot like in the original...
-
Let's hope this will be epic. (there's that word again).
-
...but it sure smells good!
-
In his claymation glory?
-

Wow, you can tell by 2 pictures that a movie is going to suck?
by ganymede3010
The ignorance of that premature statement is completely stunning.
-
I thought he'd been dead for ages!
-
He ain't no Harry Hamlin. Harry Hamlin IS Perseus. I didn't know Clash of the Titans redux was a Gladiator sequel.
-
Why? Why does this need to be re-made?....has anyone asked this yet?
-
will we be able to see Medusa's tits? Just asking...
-
Sammy looks like a ittle boy in a dress. wtf
-
Worthington's well cast there, hoping this is going to live up to expectation.
-
Bring along Corbin Bernsen if you like!
-
I love me a ponce with a dreamy mane. I grew up in the 80s. I was conditioned to be this way.
Plus the synopsis I read doesn't make it sound like the same movie. Couldn't they just call it something else? Is there gonna be a Bubo and Kraken? And Calibos was so badass. I don't think Ralph is gonna be better. Even if he is Ralph. -
I still think they should've gotten Will Kemp as Perseus. No, I don't think he's too old at age 31. But he's hot. And I have no idea what he's been doing since performing in "Romeo and Juliet" last year.
-
MOTHERFUCKER!
-
sam worthington should be captain america.
that is all. -
Want badly.
-
Meh. What was wrong with the original?
-
Anyone play God Of War 2? He's in there.
-
hey guys, i saw clash of the titans a few times as a kid and one thing above all scared me shitless, the snake headed bitch creature slivery thing that uses a bow and arrow and turns you to stone if u look at her in the eyes. im glad i shared that with you all. bye.
-
Just really, really bad.
-
Looks like him in that bottom photo.
-
I drowned him
-
back & with a big beard to boot. Hope they get it right, but dun think they will
-
The goo dripping out of Medusas decapitated body..i'd sneak in (if it was a multi-plex) just for that scene..then run back to the arcade games in the lobby and finish my pinball game
-
...are we ready to admit that PHANTOM MENACE is the best film of the saga?
-
and there were a couple drops of blood on the toilet paper. Tore the ass right out of me.
-
The moment in Phantom Menace when Qui Gon gets down and meditates while Darth Maul paces back and forth and stares at him? To me that's the ONLY moment in the entire prequel trilogy that felt like Star Wars. I also hold TPM above the other two prequels because it was shot on film and is really beautiful in places.
-
... so heres 10 reasons why The Phantom Menace is actually really good ....
1. The opening starts just like the original trilogy, the music, the yellow story outlay, space, and then .... erm ...
2. Ewan Macgregor is British and so was Alec Guiness
3. Anakin was played by Jake Lloyd, who showed great potential in Jingle all the way.
4. erm .... just a minute
5. .... natalie portmans performance could have won a costume based oscar
6. so could her decoy
7. erm ....... erm ....... the lightsabers returned
8. darth maul made makeup for men cool again
9. jar jar didnt die :)
10. it ended -
got all of it.
-
So no, Lucas didn't get my money for that shit.
-
the buzz cut looks too modern and trendy.
That said, Postlethwaite KILLS as the Ammon character!! -
i'm more in favor of the longer, heroic hair instead of the overdone and played out Gladiator look. Hope some better pics surface soon cause these look like ass
-
1) So, people can talk a ton of shit.
2) Because TPM basically made this site what it is.
3)Because you can't go wrong with 597 posts about George Lucas' dick not working. -
Rick McCallum is still gainfully employed, as far as I know. Gary Kurtz, Lawrence Lasdan, Irvin Kershner, and Marcia Lucas, as far as I know, are not. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go cry into my Jar Jar's Jam Jam's Cereal Box.
-
like the Omen remake and Jurassic Park 2..and I've always had a problem with Burgess Meredith as Ammon, "Kid, you're gonna eat feta, and you're gonna crap baklava."
-
Have we ever seen anybody this setup before? It's like the president of Hollywood saw him at the Mel's on Sunset Strip, and decided that this guy has to be a star. He must have given a massive amount of head to get in these flix. I hope they all bomb. Starting this weekend.
-
Is actually a pretty good movie. It's aged really well, and I can guarantee it will be better than any summer movie this year with the exception of Up and maybe Public Enemies. And yes, I'm being entirely serious here. Lucas is due for a re-evaluation; yes, let's have an Episode 1 tenth anniversary talkback. Harry, make it so.
-
But his sexy legs melt my heart.
-
Yeah, I actually remember it far more than either of the other two. Apart from the climax I can't remember a think about Revenge of the Sith, and the only bit I remember from Attack of the Clones is the gladiatorial arena thing with all those crazy beasties.
I remember the three light sabers battle thing being cool in TPM, and the pod-race thing was alright. The downside of course is Jar Jar and Jake Lloyd. -
"The Lost World: Jurassic Park" kicks ass. Piss off, you prick!
-
Yep, sadly TPM turned out to be the best of those movies. No Hayden Cristensen really elevates it for me.
-
Now that I think about it 10 years later, I love The Phantom Menace. I was never able to experience the theater releases of the original trilogy...so for me TPM was my Star Wars of '77. I camped out for a week, bought as much tie-in merchandise as possible and made a movie-going memory that I will brag about forever. The biggest thing to remember is how excited I was after I walked out of the theater at 3am. Elation, euphoria, and an instant desire to go see it again. Geeks, critics, and film cynics be damned, TPM the movie and the experience will alwas go hand in hand as nothing more than pure bliss. So what if Jar Jar is annoying, and Jake Lloyd can't act. Maul, pod racing, and bad ass Jedi's are still better than any shit on screen today.
-
Let's get one American movie out before we crown him The Next Big Thing. OK? OK. Thanks.
-
twitch, nuke the fridge (which has a pretty cool V clip up right now) and other sites seem to get a broader variety of cool new news in on a daily basis. this site has become very narrow and biased toward the most recent crap franchise to send them poster, airline ticket, action figure, etc.
I encourage everyone to seek out new sites and post the url's in the talkbacks so the exodus can begin. -
http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6915&Itemid=99. Seems Sanchez and Harry have something in common...
-
Go suck your own cocks.
-
Finally somebody around here has the balls to admit TPM is a well crafted fantasy film.

Sam Worthington's acting looks horrible in Terminator.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Praise Bale and everything....but that's the truth. He looks like he acts like a soggy piece of cardboard. He has a generic look. I don't get the fucking deal. How the fuck are multiple projects gonna book the douche bag before his box office clout is proven? Fucking stupid if you ask me. I hope it bites them in the ass when Avatar and Clash TOTALLY FUCKING BOMB.

DGB...when is AIBN going to be back up and running...
by therealmikejames
I laugh harder at your site than anything the world wide web has to offer. Oh and BTW, fuck all these critics who are trashing Bale's performance in TS, you fucks wouldn't know a real performance if it hit you in your vaginas. Let me put another way, Sean Penn + acting like a fag (real stretch) = Oscar. Lord Bale + acting like the fucking savior of mankind = bad reviews!! I hope Lord Bale smits you from this earth immediately!!
-
like Jimmy Smits?
-
He was alright in Somersault with Abbie Cornish, which is the only thing I've seen him in. I think it's the only thing anyone's seen him in so far. Abbie Cornish was great in that movie, and in Candy with Heath Ledger. She's fucking hot, I'd love to smash her. Ooh-wee! But in general, Aussies are the new Brits are the new Americans when it comes to hot Hollywood actors.
-
.....check on Friday. Thanks for reading.
-
It was sarcasm. Read the last sentence.
-
is a cum drinker. Hire Hamlin back. Let that handsome headed mother fucker spin around the set a few times completely nude with a 17 inch erection. He'll put PP Kobayashi in a fucking camel clutch. Let perfected retard acting master Larry Drake take a shit on Medusa's head. Corbin Bersen can drive a convertible Corvette through a brick wall and then glue a hairpiece to a unicorn's ass.
-
Meaning, he's yet another nobody who, for some unknown reason, the Hollywood machine is trying to force feed the public on by stuffing the guy into every possible new movie.
-
Louis Leterrier will have a much more pleasant experience on this than he did working with Norton on Inc. Hulk. (And I like Norton)
Also, I also think a 10th Anniversary talkback for TPM is in order. -
It took me almost 5 seconds to remember who the hell Larry Drake was. Funny.
-
Mr. Postlethwatie, welcome back........we...missed...you!
-
I make some off-hand smart-ass remark about THE PHANTOM MENACE and suddenly some of you cocks start saying it's actually GOOD?
Nah, I'm just fucking with you. I think overall it's the least shitty of the prequels. As somebody mentioned it was shot on film so it actually looks good. The acting is shit across the board, I always hated that Jar Jar was being shoved in my face as "comic" relief and I still think Anakin's wife should've been the decoy and not the actual queen. I guess that's not much of a criticism but whatever. -
... than its sequel prequels. But but but folks, almost anything in the god damned film universe is better than attack of the clones and revenge of the sith so its hardly huge praise to call Phantom the best of the prequels. thats like saying your first trip to the dentist was more bearable than your 2nd and 3rd.or for the older generation thats like saying your first trip to the prostate clinic was better than your 2nd and 3rd. The phantom menace is still at best a 2 out of 5 movie. i remember seeing it for the 1st time like it was yesterday and the dissapointment was huge and i remember only being excited by the 3 way lightsaber duel at the end, which is still the best duel of the entire trilogy, but one duel makes not a great movie, unless you count Spielbergs 1971 Duel.
-
Worthington is really getting a push, I hope he's good becasue he has a leading role in 3 movies that I really am looking forward to.
-
You know it to be so.
-
Don't get me wrong. It's nice to look at. But it stinks of shit. CLONES is worse, though.
-
good fantasy movie? Are you being serious Danny? So the wooden acting, super dull pace, bad script, the single most juvenile and annoying character Lucas could come up with, and one of the all time worst child actor performances=a good fantasy film...Oh well to each their own. To be very honest Danny this is why you and I will be able to agree on film tastes at all (which is cool..dont misunderstand me, we just have completely different tastes) for me I dont know how you can have such a negative preconception of Avatar and then defend shit like TPM, or the lost world. Anyway...Danny, care to take a gentleman's bet regarding the success of Avatar? And I propose this fully admitting I could be soo wrong. But following the things going on..it just feels like this is really something big coming (not least due to how cleverly secret its being kept imho) What do you say Danny? What happens if Avatar is a massive hit? And what if its not?...
-
saying Bale sucks in T4...get over it. All the greats (pacino, de nero etc..) have given shitty performances. Bale is not beyond criticism. Though its interesting how Worthington is getting singled out for his performance. The criticism of Worthington (who i have no opinion on as I barely know his stuff) really seem like desperation from those that actually take this whole Bale thing seriously....
-
are the worst actors or their or any generation, as far as I'm aware, so there never was much hope for the prequels and new SW, unfortunately. They both deliver their lines like a couple of robots who are speaking English for the first time, and have no meaning of the words they are reciting, nor the ability to render any trace of human emotion whatsoever!
