Perseus intensely holds his sword and shield! CLASH OF THE TITANS pics get released!
Hey folks, Harry here... So far everything I see on CLASH OF THE TITANS remake - makes me feel they're going for intensity. Sam has that down pat. Obviously, what I'm still awaiting is a look at just what scale and style of fantasy the locations and critters are going to be done in. For example, that shield is more from the Uruk Hai LORD OF THE RINGS universe than anything I've seen in classical culture. So what I'm curious about is this... is that Perseus shield or one that he picked up in the midst of a fight? Single photos never provide the proper context - but I do know, that's one mean shield.
Entertainment Weekly broke the images, but now they're being sent out everywhere in large form. Feel free to click to embiggen!

Is that a shield or an oyster shell?

You know, what I remember most about the Harry Hamlin version...
by manos
was that the girl who played Andromeda had the longest friggin neck I had ever seen.
-
...but let me take the time to make sure everyone knows that. :p
-
obviously
-
seem to be getting a blow-job when Hamlin turns that shield around when he first gets it. "Perseus, Perseus, oh, my Perseus."
Think they'll include that? -
bet she could deepthroat a horse dick
-
Yessssss, the . . . hands . . . of fate. Nice!
-
But there's still a long way to go.
The original is wonderful in its simplicity. It was a fun movie, I hope this one is a little more serious, but still fun. -
So Greeks had buzz cuts? Oh wait, I do remember something about them cutting their hair so the enemy couldn't grab hold of it... I'll have to check the almight wikipedia!
-
I have fond memories of the original, and still enjoy it. But this looks like it could be a shitfest.
The shield looks out of place. -
I mean in one fell swoop he managed to nab Terminator, Avatar, and Clash. His agent must have blown some serious head or maybe Sam himself did, ether way how is it this guy got in so many mega budget movies?
-
It's all Greek to me.
-
God let this guy get Captain America. Screw the Blonde hair, I want a sheer bad ass Cap movie..
-
Sit back and enjoy the fact that we are getting more of what we love. I would have killed for this kind of production when I had to really, really pretend with all the claymation in the original.
-
Oh yeah! Had to look up doric before I could post!
-
300 what??
-
If it were 2,000 years earlier...
-
AND?!?!?!!!
-
It's gonne be great, Sam Worthington was badass in Terminator, it's gonna be awesome.
-
should they redo Manos: The Hands of Fate? Get Shia to play Torgo, Michael Bay to direct. It would be awesome.
-
Maybe you missed that big movie that came out a few years ago?
-
Looks like *insert movie with swords and shields* with other actors. Hell, well know from Salvation that Worthington is nothing to write home about so what the LIQUID FUCK is he doing appearing in every fucking flick this side of whatthehellever?? Avatar is a videogame crossed with ROTS, Revolutions and Jackson's Kong so that's another overblown mess of bile on the floor.
-
everytime he isn't yelling
-
Come on, I can't even begin to think of how they could make Manos any better! lol!
"Don't help me come up . . . with any . . original ideas, Master." -
I swear, if they fuck up that little owl . . .
-
So talkbackers, do ya like gladiator movies? In other news I have a feeling that the entire time I'm watching this I'm going to be wishing it was the keanu reeves claymation sinbad movie instead. Sam Worthington vs. CGI... again... Also good job killing off the only interesting part of T:Salvation at the end. John Conner's a selfish prick, just saying. They couldn't find a robot heart lying around? You had to build up a new hero just to toss him in a the garbage at the end? Also why is your hospital out in the windy sand?? God that movie sucked. Get the director of Underworld the fuck out of my greek mythology. JEEEEZUS!
-
I seriously want to know, because the buzzcut look seemed unusual to me too, probably because Hamlin sported quite the hair helmet in the original. Almost like it was it's own special effect.
-
...and Greeks instead of Indians...
-
Fuck this shit.
-
they could have an ENTIRE Pink Floyd "laser" show behind him while he sits and gives his commands.
-
to give up her sweet, sweet Bubo. Why don't YOU create something if you're so fucking powerful! You fucking nay-sayer!
-
Same plot, basically. And how in the world are these pics in any way similar to Dances With Wolves?
-
now THERES a story...but nooo its gotta all be remakes.
-
That is the funniest damn thing Ive heard all week.
-
But only to get him to move the fuck over while a take on all the naked Boomers that are gonna be in this movie at my request. Grace Park, your cheeks are gonna be fuckin sore after I've finished with ya! OMG that sweet ass. I'm talking about Grace not Worthington, though he does have a sweet ass too, but not ripe for me to fuck, I've got Boomer/Athena to screw as she softly moans for more. Come for me, baby.
-
then why is he looking at her? Does he get magic eyeballs implanted by Zeus?
-
or even semi historical ones, is that no matter how "authentic" they try to get, the actors always reflect the physical aesthetics of their own time. You can this guy in armor and sandals, give him a bronze sword, but this guy and his hair cut screams 2009. Sorbo in Hercules screamed 90s. Harry Hamlin screamed 1981. Reeves screamed 1950s, etc. Good or bad the contemporary look of this guy haircut pulls me out of the movie already.
-
appreciate that. Or really, remember that whole super-nova behind the head deal.
-
Michael J. Nelson. I like it!
-
Every few years or so, Hollywood likes to push actors on us in order for the masses to come to the conclusion that the guy is a movie star of high caliber. Who the fuck is Sam Worthington? I mean seriously, where the fuck did he come from. Now we have people saying he should Play Captain America? GTFOH. This guy blows. I don't know who was worse in Terminator Salvation, him or Bale, but I swear WTF is up with all of these Australian/British actors getting so much of a push in Hollywood? This guy better not be Captain America. Can't they, you know, cast an American to play the role instead of forcing this idiot down our throats. Oh yeah, fuck this movie. I'll take Medusa's stop motion Tits before I see this.
-
they will incorporate "eyeshine" from Pitch Black. And I hope Marlon Wayans plays Bubo as some kick ass comic-relief like in D&D. "Widget-widgie, Ridley, widgie, widgie!
Please note sarcasm dripoing like honey. -
I will correct the "dirpoing" to "dripping".
-
with a top-hat and cane. Do a great dance number.
(sing) Oh TWO moons and ONE circle and THREE times that lady I was gonna marry! -
and that doesn't bode well for Titans.
-
Sam Worthington is not a real person but a Computer Generated Actor. His horrible, over Austrailianized performances in Terminator Salvation, Clash of the Titans and Avatar confirm that major motion pictures aren't ready for this, cost saving, shit technology.
-
going up to Perseus about to ask for some spare change. That would make me mad too.
Behind Perseus we see the bottom of that kick-ass cauldron in Conan that's about to dump split-human-pea soup on everyone. -
Al Gore save the planet by equipping all the columns with solar panels. We can clearly see he is excited about the government money (that's our money you and me) he is about to be sent for it.
-
I'm with you on the hairdo. It's a small detail, but it looks too modern and precise, and it makes me hope this isn't yet another movie that's supposed to be set in another time and place but they all use modern American jargon and have modern American Gen-X XTREME attitude. I hate it when they break the rules of the other universe and bring in stuff from our universe (or time), like when Worf said "Assimilate this!" or when Jar Jar said "Exqueeeze me..." Yeah, I'm a geek.
-
im sorry the middle scene in the film when they cross the river styx, the cerebus, medusa, the scorpions, calibos----FUCKING GOLD!!!! then you have the creature that is the KRAKEN!! they can throw all the SFX into this and it wont look nearly half as good as it did in 1981!!!
-
I still don't get this Sam Worthington thing. Did I miss that meeting where everyone decided to start saying he's a great actor? Same way how I missed that meeting where everyone on the planet got together and decided to find Queen Latifa attractive?
-
The Prequel of Calibos!
-
Shut yo' mouth!I'm just talkin' 'bout PerseusWe can dig it!
-
I remember when CF was in everything all at once: Daredevil, Minority Report, SWAT, Alexander, etc., but then faaaade (exception: In Bruges, which was awesome).
-
I'm willing to admit Queen Latifah's beauty before I call Sam Worthington a good actor. He brings nothing to the screen.
-
Go with the musical thing. I'm trying for others to join me in that dream. (Even without Jackman)
-
A little squooshed. It does seem a bit "mean-looking" for a glorious type of character like Perseus, though.
-
Any shot from troy is 100 times is a good as this. Vid Diesel has more presence.
-
but I'll give him another shot, considering McG was directing him. Finally saw T Salvation yesterday, against my better judgment. Unbelievable. I can't describe the level of repulsion I felt, other than to say the only other other times I've felt it was in recent memory was watching Superman Returns and the Matrix sequels. The submarine scenes looked as cheap and as bad an A-Team episode, for God's sake, and someone's already mentioned the shit-brained ending. Fuck off, McG, really.
-
Maybe they can get his wife Lisa Renna to play Madusa the Gorgon.
-
It's going to be one of those tentpole flicks that CGI houses love to get their hands on. The creature designs will no doubt look spectacular, and will not be the stop-motion Harryhausen variety (get over it, it wouldn't work, although there will probably be a nod or two to appease the fans). Will it be anything we haven't seen--not really just someone else's riff. Cerebrus, Centaurs and Giants were in Harry Potter, Medusa's been done but the snakes will just look more realistic, Harpies will probably be kinda like the vampire chicks in Van Helsing, etc., etc. But it'll be nice eye candy. I am not liking the styling at least from the couple of pix, however. I hate the look of Worthington. For crying out loud someone look at some statues from the period. The Ancient Greeks wore their hair longer, and young men like Perseus would have probably had curls or long hair, not something that looked like he walked out of a salon in Beverly Hills. Spartans warriors, for example, often grew their hair shoulder length or longer in order to intimidate their opponents. I wonder if the Gods will look like Gods, or like Hollywood actors in makeup.
I'm still hopeful for this movie though. As soon as the trailers start hitting folks will settle down. This is next years 300 with Gods. -
a giant oyster shell.
-
That's the vibe I get from this shit.
-
i guess i shouldnt hold my breath, but when did simple and beautiful and innocent shots of the female form become completely taboo and an immediate r rating? who the fuck is deciding this shit?
-
Like other movies they HAVE to have the nod for the fans even if it makes no sense.
They will have Zeus reach down into his arena and pick a clay Harry Hamlin from whatever the hell he's doing and place him next to Worthington where he will tell him to make sure Nero, after having blown up Joppa with Red Matter, never meets up with his other self and . . . aw shit, I did it again. Nevermind. -
Color me worried.
-
Terrible look across the board! This looks terrible! Crew cut? WTF? Fire the Art Director! Fire the Production Designer! Fire EVERYONE!
-
I keep waiting for them to make a sword-and-shield sort of movie closer to Gladiator instead of all this 300-esque nonsense. 300 was the most soulless, uncaring movie of its type that I've ever had the unfortunate displeasure of sitting through. I mean honestly, I kept waiting for the movie to have SOME heart and substance; little did I know it would end up being such a lifeless waste of time.Say what you will about the CGI or historical inaccuracies, Gladiator at least took itself seriously. It actually cared about decent acting, decent soundtrack, great directing, phenomenal set design, developed characters, etc. But I have a feeling this movie is gonna be yet another "slow-motion ass kicking set to hard rock" fiasco to appeal to the same mindless 300 crowd. Because as everyone knows, quality doesn't sell, even if it wins Oscars.I'm not asking that everything be ultra serious and dramatically Oscar-worthy, I'd just like to see less newer movies controlled by suits instead of having every aspect of it designed around executives asking "How can we alter this to appeal to more people and make us more money?"

Awesome! Another dark and gritty take on a classic 80s family fi
by cylon_conspiracy
Gladiator and 300 are more for adults. Clash of the Titans although dark, was good for younger audiences that shouldn't see the other films. So it's great to see they are making it all dark and gritty and serious, because we don't have enough overly serious fantasy or sci-fi films these days.
-
I hope a trailer impresses me bc right now, these pictures suck.
-
Oh no, not the fish!
-
Hence the "Caesar" haircut style. Cut short so enemies couldn't pull their heads back. Greeks had long hair. Hence all the greek art featuring Greek men with long hair.
-
Don't fucking reference "Lord of the Rings..." shit makes me want to puke.
-
SCOWL OFF!!!!!!
-
Good chance that these pics are taken around the time Perseus meets up with Medusa
-
Jun 05, 2009 11:28:39 PM CDT
I hope he goes the maximus route and uses an aussie accent
by ironic_name
there were times watching terminator I was just paying more attention to the accent changes than the story.

i wonder if he gives up his heart to some guy for no reason
by bmacsmith
cuz that would be awesome

sam worthington looks like cole hauser with a buzzcut in that first picture, for a minute there i was scared about this remake, then i realized it was worthington and was horrified.

by lockesbrokenleg

There is a scene in the movie where Perseus steals Skeletors shield while he's taking a leak.
-
bring on where the wild things are
-
They spent all their time combing that hair when they weren't waging war or buggering little boys. Plus, the guys all walked around with their weenies out. Even the gods. Do you really want to see Sam Wothington's genitals? Or Zeus fucking a cow?
-
my cousin and I couldn't agree on what to see, COTT or Raiders of the Lost Ark. I picked Raiders and he went to Titans. I stumbled out of the theater on rubbery legs, nearly exhausted, and was never able to convince my cousin that he had made the dumbest moviegoing decision of his life. I'll catch the remake of Titans on cable, just like the original.
-
he's being presented as a loved-by-all rising star by the hollywood machine, but basically zero moviegoers are actually saying he's great. It's sort of like when CNN would start talking about the bird flu as though everyone was terrified of it, but no *real live people* actually ever gave a shit about it. The man's got a great publicist and agent, but all I see from Sam Worthington is an unremarkable face, personality, and acting ability.
-
do we get to see them or what? Come on, your wondering too. Admit it!
-
Fuck classically trained actors who have spent over a decade working in foreign films and on stage honing their craft winning awards. Real actors need to pay their dues by being picked out of shopping mall talent schools and catalogue model agencies and sweating blood on one season of One Tree Hill or playing an intern on Scrubs first. Fuck this Hollywood conspiracy.

The only leading men in Hollywood is Sam Worthington and Shia La
by ganymede3010
I can't think of any other leading men atm.
-
should we get anything less...
-
Seems like no one has the balls to grow their hair out anymore. Except David Carradine, wait.., He got caught in a closet with his neck tied to his penis, or something like.... er, Nevermind.
-
I fucked the Bean on a trampoline.
The angle of the sword is not accurate for a prone fighting or defensive stance.
I would have to guess by the physical aspects of Worthington's body make up and dynamics that the shield is made of inaccurate materials for the time period of the movie.I can tell by how and where the shield is in relationship to his body. The way light is being reflected by the materials of his clothing leads me to suspect that the leather is not form historically accurate sources. You can tell by how photons reflect off of the density of various materials from the time period his outfit is definitely not made from historically accurate sources as well. His hair seem fine though
-
he has something...at this point cant say acting skills, cus it was a freaking terminator movie, but he has vulnerably coolness...if that makes sense?!
if there is gonna be a mad max without mel, which i never would watch, he could be it! -
It's obviously a dragon scale. From the OTHER great stop-mo (well, actualy go-motion but anyway) movie of 1981.
-
Who the fuck is Russel Crowe, being oblivious to his career outside Hollywood. 'Cause y'know, if it's not American, it doesn't count. Like Asian horror. Crowe has never shown more range than the back-to-back of Romper Stomper and The Sum of Us. But of course, those movies don't exist.
-
1. clockwork irony - you post too much
2. sam worthington isn't in everything. he has 3 big movies coming out over the next 2 years. can you name anything else? get over the fact that there's a new face in hollywood.
3. posting stills kills babies... and takes all the excitement out of watching those things called moving pictures.
4. this movie comes out next summer, are we really about to spend the next year of our lives following this production day to day or can we ever just let something go and stop building up or burning down expectations with every leaked frame.
we've really taken the fun out of movies. -
What's with the buzz cut, they ain't US Marines!
-
Talkbacker's melted-down computers. And he has a nice necklace adorned with their teeth.

Another piece of hackdom. Why is anybody excited?

Yeah, what the fuck happened to actors....
by richard_gere_raped_my_gerbil
...having to "earn" their right to become a mega star? I watched Terminator Salvation and this guy was fucking shit. The stuff that comes outta my ass is a better actor than this guy and can at least hold an accent.So, what.... James Cameron decides he's a good actor and so now everyone in Hollywood decided the same thing and tries to FORCE him down our throats. Fuck off. We're the fucking audience. We'll tell YOU who we want to see in movies and it ain't some dumb as fuck descendant of a criminal who needs acting lessons.
-
...screaming and glowering... blah blah blah...anoter forced foreign entry from Hollywood...can someone please tell me what was charming or fascinating about him in Salvation?
-
They have to re-make everything. it is ridiculous.
-
hugh jackman and christian bale should be the next big thing and i have no problem with that.
bale is a uk boy, so no aussie dude but one guy here complained he his no us guy!
anyway without them we wouldnt have:
gladiator, the prestige, black hawk down, munich, 3:10 yuma, american pyscho...and i love those movies!:)
if someone says he doesnt like aussies in us movies...well i guess that means he never watched one mel gibson movie, even if he was born in us doesnt make him a full us guy right, cus his mom was aussie too?!
so i think a world without: mad max, lethal weapon, braveheart, the patriot, payback...would be a world i`m glad to say i wouldnt wanna grow up in!:)
sam isnt approved as a lead so far. i cant count that terminator flick, it was entertaining if you force ur brain to not function anymore and the moments with him and he was bad directed, were solid and he has attitude like mel gibson in his younger days, like eric bana in his younger days, like russell crowe in his younger days, so what the point on bashing him cus he is an aussie?!
no one is as bad as ben affleck, nic cage and jamie foxx (overrated as hell)!
i`m fed up seeing those guys in big leading roles cus one is a bigger joke than the other!
terminator was the first movie i`ve seen with sam and he was ok if u know MCG directed it! now i`m gonna order me the "macbeth" movie i`ve skipped and "the great raid" to see, what he has to offer or how diverse his acting is?!
i`ll give him a chance and wait for his first leading role and see how he works it out, without having a auto pilot (even on auto pilot he better than most in hollywood) christian bale on his side!
i give him another try and you should also...no one is as bad as ben affleck or nic. cage!:) -
i see this warrior stopped by hi local parlor for the fine razor touch.
-
I think going by the remakes track they could even fuck the Manos remake to be worse. John Reynolds IS Torgo.
-
youre all busy arguing about swords and shields and shit, but you're missing the fact that its directed by the french asshole who brought us the transporter franchise and the less shitty but still shitty hulk movie. This isn't going to be good, and its not worthingtons fault.
-
What I remember most about the original version, is that it was the first pirate video I ever saw. And that English chick who played the princess, had a scene getting out of a bath, where she was full frontal nude for a second or two. (I was about 10). And every time I saw that movie after that, the relevant two second bit is obviously (and badly) edited from the scene.
-
upstages BALE in his own movie, is a good actor, hated by fat tubs of goo in america for being better than them in every way...

Louis Letterier,hack who only had 2 action scenes in hulk.
by ganymede3010
The Library Scene and Final Scene with the Abomination and that's it. I'm not counting the first scene where we only see momentary glimpses of him hiding in the shadows and throwing stuff. It's because of him we're not getting a Hulk sequel so fuck him. Why in the hell is he directing this anyhow.
-
someone will write the story of the summer blockbuster from 1998 onwards and it will not be pretty...
-
cause if it was made of metal that muther fucker couldn't carry it around all day.

I coulda sworn Heath Ledger was this decades Heath Ledger...no?

In that first pic, is that a statue or the director setting up the shot?

-
What is with Hollywood today? The only way they figure young people will come and see this movie is if they give the lead character a 2009 haircut? The only thing he's missing is tattoo-work all over his arms and the back of his neck!
I suppose this is someone's idea of how they're suppose to make him look more like a modern "Bad ass muffa" then the traditional ancient Grecian styles.
Another Hollywood re-imagining. -
Seriously, the I hate everything, everybody sucks crowd are there at 3 in the morning willing to share there deep wisdom with everyone.

jesus,just frikin make this video game into a live action movie,already.

don't let the man get you down.
at least your posts are funny, unlike a certain guy named underoos hero / F4M0US_P3RS0NS_D0NG_THING who can't actually make anyone feel outraged, and so thinks he's having fun by being annoying, even though we all know he wants us to be annoyed, so we remain calm and tolerant, just to make him more self loathing. -
I LOL at this movie's incongruity. Seriously, did anybody in the production staff take a look at art from the ancient Greek period? Men wore their hair long, because, well they only had crude cutting instruments at their disposal. They didn't have electric clippers that gave them symmetrical buzz cuts (smacks forehead at the obviousness).
Hopefully, the fact that the great Lawrence Kasdan worked on this script will save the audience from dialogue clunkers or gigantic plot holes. The director, Letterier, is no genius though. He's a studio-friendly shooter, this side of Ratner, that needs a great script in order to make something decent. -
Thanks. I appreciate that. Though I will admit I was pretty bored last night and went a little crazy.
But hey, knowing IS half the battle! -
300..
I think the idea of giving it a unique look is good, but not a derivative of 300. -

worthington blows. mcg blows more. this movie will more than eit
by the_one_man_gang
Sam is a horrible actor. T4 was horrible. My friend and I laughed all the way through the movie! Its too bad. This movie will be just as bad I hate to say it- nothing can beat the original.
-
Looking at Kasdan's IMDB page, I don't have a whole lot of confidence. The last unequivocably good thing he wrote was the Accidental Tourist, and that was 20 years ago. The last hit he wrote was the Bodyguard, and that was a script he wrote in the 70s (no lie- it was originally supposed to star Steve McQueen. This loots crap, let's just admit it. It's not that the original was fricking Shakespeare (or even Homer), but it had no pretensions to being another fun action movie. This looks all "serious" and frankly lame.
-
although it does also loot crap, in that it steals from lamer movies.
-
..fucking time I am going to yell CUNTING FUCKSOCKS at the top of my voice. It could be anywhere - on the tube, at work, at lunch with the family. A shit I will not give. Unless there is a Nun nearby. Or the Queen.But, dodgy accent aside, Sam Worthington was one of the better things in T4.
-
The original was a very sub-par Harryhausen film (Jason and the Argonauts was so much better), so I don't mind it being remade.
-
...that Harry Hamlin voiced Perseus in God of War II. From the photos, it looks like they borrowed some surplus armor from Gladiator. Finally, Louis Leterrier... Transporter 2 = ugh... the Hulk was decent. I don't have great confidence.
-
DARK AND GRITTY, DARK AND GRITTY! POST SEPTEMBER 11TH, POST SEPTEMBER 11th! Except Sept. 11th happened almost a decade ago. How much longer is Hollywood going to keep on with this "dark and gritty, post September 11th" bandwagon they've been harping for years? Probably forever, seeing as they have no new ideas and no new direction to go in. I'm just a little tired of everything having to be "intense" and "dark and gritty". Seriously, take up Yoga or something and clam the fuck down.
-
But they can "clam down" if they really want to, I guess...
-
You mean Brittany Murphy?
-
The first pic is AFTER medusa is turned to stone.
-
Maybe so, but it was the only one I ever saw in the theaters. Therefore, it's special for me.
-
instead of a movie. But that's probably what they're more concerned with anyway.
Remember when movies used to be pretty? *sigh* -
Enough of this "dark and gritty", grayed-out, post-Sept. 11th crap. If you're depressed or emotionally disturbed, get some serenity and don't take it out on the audience, Hollywood.
-
Do you see the sword? This is clearly the Highlander reboot.
-
his shield is either a dragon or in the shape of a dragon. If you look at the first one you can kind of see a scaly, rocky material and it kind of curves into wings and like a V tail at the bottom. That would be kind of gay if that were the case.
-
harryhausen is my hero!
-
Ironic_name you must be on some pretty potent crack. I'm assuming you being gay for the guy is blinding your judgment, but his 'acting' in Terminator Salvation was just about the corniest shit I've ever seen put on a movie screen. It wasn't just terrible, it was approaching Batman and Robin-level cheese. I honestly and literally laughed out loud the moment he uttered his first line in the film, in a fucking CLINT EASTWOOD voice I might add, 'so this is what death tastes like'. Every line this guy uttered in Salvation was so over the top in an oversold attempt to present himself as a tough guy with a heart of gold...Salvation had some pretty cheesy moments, and *every* single time the audience groaned or inappropriately laughed it was when Worthington was delivering lines. This guy is a 'Beastmaster' caliber actor at best. Fine with me, sign him up for 'brooding handsome guy #3' in next weeks episode of Outer Limits or Andromeda or some shit, but please stop casting him in movies I might actually want to see. Looking forward to him playing Abe Lincoln next year with a buzzcut and Clint Eastwood voice?
-
HE'S THE BEST CHOICE... HANDS DOWN!
IT'S EITHER HIM OR MATT DAMON (too small) LEONARDO DICAPRIO (too weasley looking) OR WILL SMITH (TOO COCKY). WORTHINGTON LOOKS THE RIGHT AGE, HAS THE RIGHT MIX OF EVERYMAN AND ROUGH AND TUMBLE. AND... WE KNOW NOW THAT HE LOOKS COOL HOLDING A SHIELD. -
I guess that had barbershop clippers back in ancient Greece then. FFS

Were the best things in the original.
-
Andromeda was very nice. Medusa was cool as shit. I remember being so tense as a kid with Perseus waiting to lob her head off and his fingers re-gripping the sword. I would have dropped the sword from trying to get that comfortable "perfect" grip.
-
Why am I seeing more and more that big Willy was being suggested and asked to play the cap? I know there's the typical Nick Fury nerd out there flipping out that he's black now. But I dont ever remember Cap turning black. After seeing Leo in the Departed and Body of Lies I could see him being Cap, sure he's small, but damn, they made Frodo even smaller for his role.
-
Which of our greatest actors will cash a check this time? Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are the only names I'm familiar with in this cast so I guess they're this generation's gravitas for hire.
-
gorgons.
-
This guy has all the charisma and distinctiveness of an extra. He must have been cast by picking a name out of a hat.
-
That would be cool as hell. But I don't know if it could be that, because i mean you can see that dragon shape and a bunch of scaly objects. I just hope your theory is true, that'd be cool.
-
if this is the medusa scene... how else would this scene work?
-
I dont remember fully, but he can't look in her eyes right? He's like staring the person down face to face, so i dont think that's Medusa.
-
Cant wait for the remake of the remake to come out
Im off to do a Carradine -
that is not medusa, that is a victim of medusa
-
Srsly.
-
Yep. Looks like Sci-Fi. Will be ignored at theaters the same way LAND OF THE LOST is being (sadly) ignored. Can't wait to watch the average Americsan filmgoer yawn, think it's for kids but also is too violent for their own kids, and not go see it in droves.

What the hell? It looks like he's on stage? Is it video?
by orionsangels
This looks so bad! Just make a damn film in real locations you lazy bastards!
-
I prefer the idea of this "loot"ing crap, because to loot crap means to climb into the ass of someone, if you get technical about it, and steal their crap - which is what reboots and remakes do. So, I CONFIRM! THIS LOOTS CRAP! Thank you, wookie1972
-
Nice plastic sheild and stupid shaved head, dorks! Another non descript character.Is he from Fast and the Furious or G.I.Joe?
-
YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE. LOOTING CRAP - "SPREAD THE WORD!"
-
Everyone's complaining that Letterier is directing this. It's not like the original was directed by a heavyweight: Desmond Davis. Can you name another film he directed?
-
The only reason LORD OF THE RINGS did well was because of girls going to see it over and over for the "hot guys" ... and guys going to see it over and over because they couldn't get dates on Friday night. IRONY!
-
Yeah that's kind of what I thought too. But why does he look like he wants to smite the shit out of it?
-
But I also agree that he could be a great Captain America.
-
Looks like they're going more "God of War" than classical Greek myth. It would be a shame if they supplanted some thoughtless, grunting soldier protagonist in place of the clever, vulnerable Perseus from the original movie. There are already enough chest-thumping fantasy-juggernaut cliches in cinema.
-
Who is this ugly grunt with his shitty buzz-cut.
-
lmao! that's awesome
-
Anything they try to make or come up with or "reboot" someone will shit on it.Everyone however is shitting on this idea.I wonder what would have happened if the fly would have come under this kind of fire.Also it would be nice if it's rated R.Not a hard R but an R thats for a real reason...bush would be good...but no balls..
-
The Gods not only equipped Preseus with a helmet and sheild in this one, but also a state-of-the-art Norelco electric trimmer. Good thinking Zeus.
-
Here's an idea....how about the Captain America movie have an AMERICAN in the lead role?!?! Worthington can have the lead in a Steve Irwin biopic aptly named "Attack of the Stingray." Now that would be a TRUE fish out of water story! When the Aussies come up with Captain Australia, he can have that film. I'd imagine their Cap would wield a shield carved from the Sydney Opera House ceiling and he can save the Aborigine from ass-raping kangaroos.
-
That would be brilliant.
-
much less gay than 300
-
What do you do in 'Adventures Of Link' if you defeat the boss in the third castle (I think) before you've got the boots that allow you to walk on water? The castle is still there but I can't find a key to get through the remaining locked door. Please help!

Dear filmmakers, stop trying to convince me you're hardcore and just make a damned good movie. I am not impressed by screaming sweaty men, I do not worship at the altar of braindead, violent machismo, nor do I think flames, clouds, and giant buildings equal compelling storytelling. Please do not make monster-truck rallies in place of drama. I certainly hope these promo pictures do not represent the tone of the film. Thank you.
-
I'm actually having a similar problem. I got past Death Mountain and got into that castle, but I can't figure it out from there. I went to the basement, and then the second floor and got everything, but idk where to go to now.

Something Perseus picks up while sailing from Athens to Ibiza?

He looks like Neal Mcdonough in that first pic, the white blonde guy they got to play Bison in the legend of chun li. nEal Mcdonough with a brunette look. And terminator sucked ass, why the fuck would anyone want him NEAR captain america? As if the movie's gonna be good with or without him.
-
plus several other big names... this thing MUST get made...
-
is to read some other posts. Your question has been answered. But it's O.K. to be embarrassed. Ya big tool.
-
Because if you're using Salvation (and that alone) as your barometer of Worthington's talent, your arguments are inherently flawed. McFucknuts made the Bale look like a lousy actor too. And we all know Bale is a God. Ergo, your arguments are flawed.
As for accents, name me ONE American that can do a decent Australian accent. Yeah, that's what I thought.
And did none of you see Rogue? He did an awesome impression of the average talkbacker - he played an annoying arsehole. I think he got eaten by the croc though, so that's O.K.... -
Too many posts about cum and balls and stupidity to sort thru. But its nice to know you a have a man crush on your Sammy W.

I'm with you on that one. It seems like these days, everything has to one-up whatever came before it on the "darker and grittier" meter. The moment any medium runs out of ideas (movies, comics, whatever) they have to resort to a "darker, grittier" retelling or reboot. It seems the only way many idiots (including very, very, VERY many talkbackers on this site) view a certain story as "evolved" is to basically just make it "darker and grittier". Suddenly, once you amp up the dark-and-grit level, these fools automatically consider it just a bit more "cool".So I don't entirely blame the studios for something like that, I blame the legions of tools who feel like something isn't "serious" enough unless it's you-know-what (since I've used "darker and grittier" too many times already). It was the same thing when movies first started becoming more violent; everything had to one-up the violence of whatever came before in order to be considered "cool" and "evolved with the times". Fortunately that trend has started to die out, although there is still the middle-school-intelligence-level crowd who complain when they don't get to see someone "rip that one guy's head off the way he did in that dark and gritty version of that one comic issue which totally proves how the movie fails to be faithful to the source material".Dark and gritty is great if it's done right. It just usually never is. It's usually just completely unnecessary cheese. Which is what something like 300 was. Utter cheese. Which is probably what this will be.I second the notion that this loots crap.
-
...specially the second pic.
-
...regardless of who you get to play him. Of all the comic book heroes costumes, I cannot for the life of me see a way to adapt his costume for motion pictures. No way. No how. Not possible. It just won't work.
-
I don't understand why these swords-n-sandals flicks based on Greek myths make little to no effort to add even a smidgen of the look of the actual time period...All we get is the same tired regurgitated pseudo-classical bullshit...then with a dash of filth and rust it's automatically 'authentic!! YESS! Fuck you, archaeology!'
Perseus is a figure who (would have) lived in the Mycenaean age. What Mr Worthington is wearing is...a stylized....rendition of armour from about 800 years later. Sigh...I suppose very few care about this...as long as it looks recognizable as 'Greco-roman', it'll do. His sword, actually, is not bad. Passably Bronze Age-accurate, and looks decently cool as well. (!!...)
Still! Chariot-borne knights clad head-to-foot in glittering bronze plate armour with a fearsome horned helmet?? Nah, boring!! Stick with what ya know, kid!
Alright, self-indulgent rant over. -
A rant addendum. Hair! Aristocratic men of the Bronze Age Greek mainland usually wore their hair shoulder-length with a beard but rarely moustaches. However, from contemporary depictions it seems the younger boys and girls often shaved their heads with select areas left to grow out...very distictive look. Almost punk. Okay...rant over.....NOW.
-
Even the blind will be visually screwed in 09.

To add to your list of films using modern day jargon or X-treme attitudes...how about Legolas getting some rad skate time down the giant mamoths trunk? Bitchen!

Capt America and Thor will both have black leather suits.
by ganymede3010
Like the rest of the hero's they can't properly translate into the big screen. You definitely can't have Captain America in a fucking blue and red suit, looking like a gay rights protester parading in San Francisco. So what can you do? Black leather suit, throw a white star on it somewhere and call it a day. Same thing for Thor, just replace the star with a lighting symbol and be done with it. What's most important is how well their powers are translated on film. Their suits are going to be shitty no matter what, so that's not what we should be focusing on. In the end, you and I both know it will be a black leather suit.
-

look, this is where we were a year ago with terminator. i director we can't trust, who has only really made enjoyable junk at the best, takes over a beloved mythology. but the first pics are kinda good. so we start getting excited. and the trailers get us more excited too. but then, the film comes out and we realise what fools we've been, because the chances of these guys making a film with characters you actually care about, in a story that's actually exciting... the chances of that are less than of a snowball in hell. you know it's true, people. don't do this to yourselves

Where did Perseus get his Remington Hair-Clippers? Zeus?
by coughlins laws
I agree with the guy about modern hair cuts taking you out of historical pics like this. Remember Ralphie Cifaretto from the Sopranos complaing about Kirk Douglas's hair? "There were NO flat-tops in ancient Rome!!!" Plus, I don't like his look of being a rage-filled warrior, ala' 300. Wasn't Perseus supposed to be a normal guy who never knew his father was a God till half-way through life and being charged with his quest? I admit my only source of information is the original movie, but I think the story works better if he isn't this type of bad-ass warrior that these admittedly out-of-context pics show. However, this is obviously the tone they are trying to get across by releasing these particular pics. I also agree, his shield looks wrong. How can that have a shiny, mirror side?
-
btw I wasn't just trying to smack talk you with that 'gay for worthington' comment, I'm actually quite serious. I think you have something going on upstairs that you haven't quite worked out yet, kindly review this thread, try to look at it the way a stranger would, and ask yourself, is it normal for a dude to be talking up another dude this much? Like you're basically reacting to people's criticisms of Worthington as though they are personal attacks against you. If YOU yourself are not Sam Worthington incognito, I think you have some shit to work out.
-
I remember when 300 first came out and all the Ironic_names out there were like 'Iron Man? Gerard Butler would be great for that...Hulk? Gerard Butler would be great for that...Hey you know who would make a great Thor? Gerard Butler'. Thankfully people sobered up before he had time to solidify any franchises, because really, he's a completely unremarkable actor, he just happened to work well in a beard. Some actors are just like that. The guy who played Tom on Lost for example. In beard, he's an awesome, imposing character actor, out of beard, he's unremarkable. Jonathan Frakes and Avery Brooks are other good examples of actors that need to keep their beards on. Basically if Gerard Butler isn't sporting a haggard beard and yelling so hard he's spitting, you can't find a less interesting actor.
-
was a complete non-sequitur. A good actor once acted in a low budget fantasy show, ergo coming from a low budget fantasy show is proof someone is a good actor? Kevin Sorbo would like to have a word with you...

smake fu, I thought he was as good as yelchin, minus accent
by ironic_name
I thought people's reviews would be "bale is sleepy, but yelchin steals the show, with worthington and bloodgood sinking into their characters" and yes, of course I was being silly mentioning roar, someone said he was the new shia the beef, and that sad little creature isn't a good actor, [he's just Spielberg's avatar] it was a joke response to a dumb statement, like mentioning roar was a joke response to a dumb statement [dumb in that oscarbait ledger was in a show that was made by the same people who did xena, and you or whoever mentioned it didn't know that] . worthington is competent,but unnoticeable in the other movie I've seen [gettin' square]. but the character of marcus reminds me of a character made on these very talkbacks last year, so it pisses me off / worries me to see that people don't like the character. so I am being overprotective, because the character is close to something familiar... of course, the character has a lot in common with Ivan drago / the arnie terminator, too, and they are loved, so maybe people will like the character.

I don't care if this is a fantasy movie based on ancient greek mythology, would it kill if there had been a bit more care to try to at least pretend the characters are supposed to be ancient greeks? Would that kill all the fun for the geeks that?

don't see many in that pic.

He pulled off a goofy ass hairdo in Revolver, not to mention a wicked Ledger like elevator scene, pretty powerful when he's arguing with a split personality. I could see him with a midbeard and some smaller curls as Perseus.

You don't get to go first name only on a B list celeb.
Looking forward to the movie though.

Shield looks like a garbage can lid, and the sword looks equally crappy. There's now way Hephaestus made those, maybe his drunken apprentice?

-
Personally I think this looks promising, I like the approach, I'm bored the the Robert Graves Greek Hero archtypes, Leterrier's going for a more grittier feel by the looks of things (Maximus/Leonidas) and all the better for it. Perseus is a Volos roughneck (a working joe who becomes a warrior/hero) Worthington looks good. Creatures will be the benchmark for enevitable comparison to Harryhausen, the crux of that lies in the style of animation and the character imbued in them. I've got a good feeeling about this one, trust in Leterrier.
-
Nascent Scissors, razors and grooming utensils are well documented and exist in collection at Museums such as the British and Borbonnico. The vagaries of fashion even prevailed back in the ancient world! Again hair length is not an issue for me, I'm more concerned about how faithful to the instrinsic Myth of Perseus and Andromeda and of Harryhausen's animation and design legacy that this film will be.
-
Might not be the one Hephestus forges for Perseus, or possibly it could be some kind of metal with igneous coating from the Hephestus's volcanic forge. I actually dig it, it's good to see an AD not falling back on the same 'stock' design associated with this kind of fare.

Why do the Greek men in statues have long flowing locks? Because it was common in Greece to take it up the wrong 'un.
They're supposed to be objects of desire. As in, hot sweaty man on man action. That's why they also have six packs, with the faces of young boys.

Aside from "looting crap" which was actually started by Wookie1972, I do want to take this opportunity to start a brand-new trend, based on the fact that you can already tell what the reviews for this movie are going to be. The trend will be to ask the question of yourself, "How quickly from iniital material can one craft an entire review?" Here's how the reviews for the new CLASH OF THE TITANS will be: "Soullessly acted in front of CG backgrounds that never seem quite as real as the matte paintings of around 30 years ago, the movie shows that the more technology improves, the less creative and intelligent the so-called 'creative' minds of Hollywood get. The monsters move more smoothly, and without the herky-jerky stop-motion mannerisms, but they lack even the most basic semblance of reality, and as a result the scenes in which are heroes are menaced by smoothly-moving 'realistic' skeletons and Medusas never seem to really be happening, and as a result there is no sense of jeopardy nor urgency for the characters. Sam Worthington's Perseus is a complete cypher, who yells quite a bit about the importance of home/hearth/family but never gives us any real reason to care about what's going on. The old dudes culled from the past generation of actors try to acquit the material, doing the best they can with the slipshod material they are given, but in the end the whole exercise is beyond pointless."
-
..."we're doing a dark, gritty and realistic take on the story" I think I'm going to throw a shit fit. Not everything is Batman and needs to be 'dark and gritty'. And sorry, we don't need 'realistic' takes on ancient Greek myths, Robin Hood or Norse legends. They're called 'myths' for a reason; they're not supposed to be realistic.
-
Seriously. Crackers tho I may be.But think about it: the whole non-existent or barely there nose. Eyes close together and short, buzzed or even non-existent hair. Hmm...let's stretch the similarities and what do you get? That's right! What a human baby would look like if it was an adult but kept those "baby" physical characteristics exactly into adulthood! Holy shit! Creepy! But seriously...big eyes...fuzzy heads..inarticulate meeps and mewling. Peculiar 'peanut butter'-like stench.Baby obsessed fucking American weirdos will make Worthington Brando. You'll see. And then we'll all be sorry.

Thor works best if they go fantasy rather than comic book.
by royston lodge
Make Thor a story about Norse gods, weapons, and stuff like that. Go heavy on the Lord of the Rings aspects and go light on the comic book hero aspects. Then it'll be coolio.
Put Captain America in some black outfit and he becomes just another member of the crappy G.I. Joe team. Keep him in red, white and blue spandex and he looks like an extra from The Producers. The middle ground's already been taken by The Comedian, so anything they do for Captain America with either be painfully derivative or painfully homoerotic. -
throw up all the clever retorts you want, it doesn't make it any less obvious that you have a raging man-crush on Sam Worthington. Also, I find it extremely amusing and interesting that a full 24 hours have passed between when you acknowledged that I insinuated you were a closet case, and you fired back with your playground-esque 'oh yeah, YOU'RE gay' comeback. And it's not like you were just away from the site for 24 hours and just now came back, saw my insult, and countered. You saw my post yesterday, replied to it, I never replied back, you continued to post here several times, then suddenly thought up this gem of a comeback and decided to post it. Kind of seems to me like it was still on your mind, 'stuck in your craw' so to speak...
-
People who resent bad actors for stinking up a film they looked forward to are subconsciously attracted to them? Interesting theory, that pretty much makes everyone who didn't like a movie gay. And if they didn't like the actor AND actress in a film, they're what, simultaneously straight and gay? And finally, you personally expressed resentment towards Bale in the same way I'm expressing it towards Worthington, which makes your accusation of gayness also an admission of gayness. Seriously guy, you suck at insulting people in the internet. Give it up.
-
That movie was superbly crafted, solid acting, not to mention people bitch about CGI being poor in movies, then why the hell doesn't Beowulf get any credit. If any movie is going to consistently have lots of CGI, why don't they go the same route Beowulf did. We need to see more of the actor who played him in more movies. That scene where the guy one the beach demands him to fight him and he's just screaming "KILL ME!!!" gives me chills.
-
I was lucky enough to see it in 3D at the IMAX London and it blew me away.Apart from the stunning technical achievement it made a really good point about the monsters of the world serving a purpose in creating heroes to fight them.And Ray Winston fucking rules!
-
I didn't care much for the changes they made to the story.
-
That's the typical thing everyone said. Same with 300. They were based off of the graphic novels story, not the original story. 300 was Frank Miller, Beowulf was Neil Gaiman, Neil also wrote the story for film and the screenplay.
-
Of all these incessant, unecessary and fucking awful remakes flushing down the tubes towards us, Clash of the Titans has got to be THE most ridiculous one yet, bar Fright Night perhaps. The original Clash of the Titans was fucking PERFECT. This remake cannot possibly add anything to the story of worth. CGI versus Harryhausen? Massive FAIL.
-
Who amongst us cannot honestly avoid having a raging mancrush on someone who looks like Sam Worthington? During that scene where he is strung up by his wrists while Bale is in his face, can you tell me you did not start to get a boner? I did.
-
Since everyone's starting new trends, here's mine. Instead of rushing to be first, I'm gonna wait to be the last comment ever on a given talkback. So "FIRST!!!" all you want. Don't screw me here, people.
-
It'll probably be bogus. Clash of the Titans was a movie that was based around, but didn't exactly follow the myth of Perseus and Andromeda. A reboot of a reboot? Not feeling it. Flop.
-
Will they make him like Heath Ledger's Joker? Does this mean that the 1981 Flash Gordon movie will also be remade? There are some productions that it's classic-camp formula and it WORKED! The special effects tech in Clash o the Titans was low, but well-done enough to strike fear in my young heart back then. Now I'm expecting a gritty, all-too-realistic story involving creatures whose level of animated detail will say "too realistic to be realistic" like the Transformers. The robots look like REAL JUNK!
-
i don't like the fact they are saying it's a remake from the 80's version when they are stealing the plot from disney's animated hercules movie...
