Perseus intensely holds his sword and shield! CLASH OF THE TITANS pics get released!

Published at:  Jun 05, 2009 8:36:30 PM CDT

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!

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.

    by ingeld

    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.

    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'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.

    The Movie Will Look Spectacular

    by nexxus7

    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.

    by viewer 3

    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?"

    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.

    Sam Worthington is this decades Ben Affleck

    by smackfu

    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.

    by trannyformers_apologist

    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

    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.

    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!:)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    "sam worthington is this decade's heath ledger"

    by smackfu

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Re: Fa_Tass_DinoMolester (and looting crap)

    by viewer 3

    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.

    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. (!!...)

    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.

    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.

    and I'm so glad that Gerard Butler fad didn't gain steam

    by smackfu

    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.

    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.

    Not all ancient greek warriors were touseled ponces

    by killakane

    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.

    I'm Going to Start a New Trend

    by thusspakespymunk

    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."

    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.

    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.

    by dr. samuel loomis

    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.

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!
