Don't Mess With Zeus!! Pic Of Liam Neeson Looking Badass In CLASH OF THE TITANS + More Images, Too!!
Merrick here...
Entertainment Weekly and Empire have unveiled some images from Louis Leterrier's remake/reinvention of CLASH OF THE TITANS. Really liking the way this looks so far - can't wait to see stuff that's in motion.
While TERMINATOR SALVATION did absolutely nothing to convince me of Sam Worthington's value as a "leading man", the AVATAR footage I saw last week (details HERE) sold me on him & I can imagine Sam being great in this film. We'll see...
The top image offers our first look as Liam Neeson as Zeus. The concept of a god in battle armor...isn't expected... although why wouldn't a god wear battle armor (except for probably not needing it to begin with)? I guess a god can wear whatever he or she wants to wear, and this does look pretty cool. This evokes his appearance in EXCALIBUR, sorta.

but GD Neeson looks BA.
More abbreviations necessary? idk -
With Percy Jackson about to come out as well it appears Greek myths are back in vogue.
-
Motherfucker has lightning bolts. He's supposed to be in a toga/robe!
-
Closes I'll ever get!
-
I dig the armor.
Would you rather fuck with a guy in a toga or battle armor?
Lesson learned. -
Neither does Dr.Zaius. I always hated that goddamn smart ass gibbon.

TERMINATOR SALVATION R-RATED CUT coming next month.
BALE WILL HAVE HIS REVEEEEEENGE!

Brian Blessed has pythons, brother!

You couldn't "drag" me to this movie. Get it? Oy...
-
Just asking.
-
fucking person
-
If you are king of the gods, what the hell do you need with armor? And for that matter, what does God need with a starship?
-
Dude looks just like De Gray, the British scientist who's trying to defeat aging. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iYpxRXlboQ
-
God doesn't need a starship. They're just fun
-
...In that link.
-
and wow, this is going to be a huge movie.Lou-let was telling me his vision and i just have to say that damn i wish i was a part of pre-production, but i'm just happy enough to be having a little bit of input on the post effects sequencesgreat script too, i don't want to spoil too much but let me know if you have any questions
-
What gives ?
Sam Worthington has a crew cut in an ancient Greek Mythology story, and yet for Avatar he has long flowing locks.. FFS
Damn, Liam is a busy bee these days eh ! -
That's it, just gay. I guess 300 and old Steve Reeves movies aren't enough to quell that demographic, so enjoy at will.
-
If this flick does not have a woman as hot as the one in the original..then fuck it.
-
... with Zeus wearing armor. Just wish it would have been Greek armor instead of medieval full plate. Still pretty stoked about this flick though. Can't wait to see what the creatures look like.
-
JettL of course i wouldn't compromise your insider anonymity by asking your name but I do have a question 4u, what's your job title?
-
not a bad thing ever.
-
saw these on other sites three days ago
-
should be entertaining
-
C'mon, hollywood - I was willing to forgive full plate in Excalibur, but the Greeks? They NEVER wore full plate. In what universe is that armor look like anything the Greeks would have envisioned Zeus wearing?
-
I loved the original as a kid. The witches in the photo look pretty nasty.
So many cool things were in the original.
I bet Medusa is fucking hideous.
She used to scare the shite outta me ... -
When I clicked it, I didnt have permission. Weird.
-
from Coppola's dracula
-
the link claimed to be an image of Seth Rogen as the Green Hornet. I guess it got pulled as fast as it was posted?
-
To escape terrible movies.

To escape terrible movies.
-
2010. Nothing. Else. Matters. Nah, just kidding. Or maybe not.
-
It's going for some kind of drab-techno, "God of War" rip-off look instead of a classical one. The armor here isn't even close to anything from classical Greece, nor is Perseus's new trailer park wigga crew-cut. Being a huge fan of classical mythology as well as the original movie, I won't be putting down any cash on this one.
-
I don't see a problem with it, to me it looks completely inspired by that mechanical owl in the original.
-
Much scarier and more imposing than simple robes.
-
http://tinyurl.com/yahtno8
-
You may be onto something. Is the mechanical owl in the remake? and if so, is it Zeus in disguise?
-
Fantastic! Where's AsimovLives to fall into the trap and start throwing out the insults and "ass0fucking"?
-
That's not true. Sam Worthington doesn't have a blackcent in every role he plays.
-
Cuz somebody gots to get in the ring with Amanda.
-
Around Neeson's feet you can see the 'chessmen' - I thought they were one of the neatest ideas from the first movie. Glad they kept them. The mortals as pawns and playthings of the gods.
-
That Liam Neeson is probably one of the top-3 baddest motherfuckers on the planet. He can take pretty much any role out there and instantly bring credibility and screen presence. He made something out of the Qui guy, for fuck's sake. On an aside: while the character description doesn't match Neeson's appearance at all, I couldn't stop picturing Neeson as Father Don Callahan from the Dark Tower/'Salem's Lot books. God that'd kick ass.

by xiphos_2
for Lord of the Rings dinner theater. As said above why is Zeus even wearing armor? and if he does wear armor shouldn't it be more like Greek a style curass made of bronze or lamilar? You know since the Greeks came up with the idea of Zeus and all.
-
Giving away my job title would jeopardize my identity, let's just say I act as both a special effects/production member as well as script/story consultant on various films. My most popular desing would have been the tumbler (aswell as the batplane from the upcoming batman 3) i also did some design work on Devastator and soundwave for transformers 2. My script achievments include rewrites on the Dark Knight, Star Trek, as well as i am amping up ideas for Transformers 3, and the new friday the 13th. That's if i find time between our batman 3 jam sessions
-
"Ugh, that bloody wife of mine still won't let me forget about seducing that slut by turning myself into a bull. It was ages ago! What's a god gotta do to get a glass of ambrosia around here?!"
-
Lord of the Rings Dinner Theater...fucking priceless.
-
Is it true that Zeus is this version, is more based upon 2for2true than Zeus?
-
... are working on this film, because they straight up stole The Pale Man design from Pan's Labyrinth (and later reused for Hellboy 2) for the three witches.
-
JettL93 has got some awesome resume highlights, doesn't he? It's the rare industry professional who can work on the special effects crew while also doing work as a writer. My hat is off to you, sir.
-
Oct 05, 2009 1:20:29 PM CDT
Hey Jett....Make sure Mikey stops by on the next TF3 talkback..
by conspiracy
I've got some ideas I think he should read...
-
... Yeah, this might be okay after all, but Zombieland owned this weekend. And that's all that matters in my little world.
-
That long-haired hermit played by Terry Jones in The Life of Brian as Zeus!
-
Oh JettL, I wanna believe you buddy...
You work in an FX studio, you do early concept designs, and you're also a script writer / or script doctor.
How many professional writers would make the schoolboy errors you made in the post above though?
You've got some films correctly with capitals on the first letter (Transformers) and some without (friday the 13th). You've got some named characters the same. There are also spelling mistakes, some poor punctuation and no full stop at the end of the post.
How would a professional writer explain such obvious errors? -
His dedication to character is inspiring.
-
I try when I can but usally I fail but with Bale's guidance
sometimes I pull one out. -
Because, gold robot owls, gotta eat!
-
i did. and i came up with the iron man armor too
-
both would be cool with me. I crush on Medusa.
-
Not cool.
-
Armor seems kind of pointless when you can go all bovine at will. He kinda looks like the Ultra-Techno-Armor version of the Monarch from the last season of VB, probably just as mobile. I guess that's cool. I wonder if Perseus will speak with a thick Australian accent in this one. -
Have you read QT's Inglourious Basterds script?? ... A child-level skill in grammar and punctuation does not, it seems, preclude one from being a screenwriter! But yes, Jett is HIII-larious, I have to say. Sooner have someone to chuckle at than someone like Asimov venting his spleen. I just love to talk Trek with that guy!
-
It was funnier on paper. -
that is a solid lie..stop it

-
... are also full of shit, these days.
-
Read The Iliad, in Greek myth the gods just like playing around at being mortal with none of the risk, i.e. death in battle, so of course they would play dress-up with armour. References to Greek myths in contemporary texts often mention their armament; Athena sprang fully armoured from Zeus' head after all. And in any case, the 'authenticity' of Zeus' armour in this pic is moot because Clash of the Titans is myth, not history - they can wear whatever the hell they want because it's fantasy. That said, I still think its looking pretty crud and despite having a personal investment in all things Ancient Greek, I'm getting less excited about this the more I see of it :(
-
I was on the set everyday, and i know for a fact that chris Nolan came up with that idea. C-No and me sculpted it out in his garage, i'm the one that suggested he put into into the script (Chris just wanted to have it appear one screen not be shown in the script)D.Vader is a liar and we all know it
-
But you'd be hard-pressed to find any references of Zeus doing the same. Most statues/sculptures portray him in traditional greek robes. And Athena's armor never looked anything like the stuff Gary Oldman wore in Dracula.
-
I'm calling you out, sir!
(By the way, I came up with the idea of making Batman's costume black. You know, to help him blend in with the darkness at night. The original design called for neon pink urban camoflage.) -
Especially, Skidmarks and Mudflaps? Or the Batman and Robin costumes, for Batman and Robin?

JettL93 still hasn't acknowledged me!
by christian_bale_trashed_my_lights
We work together on The Voyage Of The Dawn Trader. Yesterday, I saw him getting out of a sports car with a bunch of babes whilst David Caruso was carrying his shopping.I waved and said "Hey Jett!"He pretended he didn't even see me and walked off into the distance.I cried. I cried like AsimovLives after watching Star Trek. Yes, a lot of tears were shed.
-
Makes the cheap syndicated production of Kevin Sorbo's Hercules look good in comparison. But it's out of context so I'll reserve judgement until a trailer.
-
I don't need to be on set to come up with brilliant ideas like that. I was downing my 5th gin and tonic and was bitching about how Batman just sits around on his ass on top of gargoyles looking for action. And I said "Wouldn't it be better if he could HEAR it?" And then BOOM, next thing you know, the ideas are flowing like water and C No pats me on the back, says thanks, and then walks out without paying for his part of the bill. That jackass.
-
Is, I believe, doing the creature concept work on this flick, so we can all get out of Del Torro mode...
-
JettL93, must have also created the beaver puppet, used by Mel Gibson, in the film, The Beaver! I was wondering who we had to thank for it!
-
- by comparison of course!!
-
Thats because Jett is not my real name, i did hear you yelling "Hey jett" but i did not look because i was busy and that isn't my namealso that was not David Caruso carrying my bags, it was my assistant Jeffrey. i'll tell him you thought he looked like david caruso, he'll get a kick out of that
-
you can never take that away from me, jett.
-
cause that's how pill Lo rolls.
-
I understand now the mistake I made.Tell Jeffrey to stop taking his shades off like that. You can see how I got confused.
-
JettL93 is also supershadow....
-
In honour of Nerd_Rage_Retard_Strength, the dude who put the nipples on the bat suit, and have Nerd_Rage_Retard_Strength Day declared, as well.
-
I only worked on Devastator and soundwave and only early in production, most of my designs were merged with others to create the final product. I thought those 2 robots were a little over the top, their desings were nice but the dialogue was just a bit to Black for most people's liking (hense why the outcry from the mostly white audience that was confused from what the robots were saying)But even though my designs weren't fully used i sparked up a great working relationship with the great an deliberate Micheal Bay, and that also is allowing me to have some input on the transformers 3 script
-
who has that star wars site? and he would brag how he was friends with lucas?
-
He'll hunt you down and give you an ass kicking.
-
NUFF SAID
-
Even less likely since Scumbag Worthington had a crack at Ray Harryhausen a couple of days ago.
Twat. -
Then we went out for drinks and he slipped me some roofies.
-
For the neon in the Batman films? I was wondering, who it was!
-
Well, it may look cool but it has nothing to do with ancient Greek mythology. Is it so hard to make clash of the titans look cool and ancient Greek at the same time?
-

I imagine this will not be the worst one ever. It may have as much to do with authentic Greco/Roman culture/myth/aesthetic as Xena did, but it will be fun, I hope...
-
I've never heard of the guy, I took my user name from George lucas's son whom i've met several times when i visit the ranch. also jett is the guy who runs Batman on film and since i'm deep within the C-No batman franchise i thought it might give a clear clue to my intentions of spoilers
-
wear that?? Weird. Poor guy. It does look cooler than the Rogen pic though.
-
proof if proof were needed that the people on the talky films don't do too good when they are left to say their own wordy words...dick!
-
If you slopped some red paint on that shitty looking armor, he'd look like Gary Oldman as Vlad Dracul at the beginning of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Now where is that horrible Ryder girl? -
What was Megan Fox, like on the set of Transformers 2?

In an interview with Empire, referring to the effects in the new movie, he said "We're not in fucking Harryhausen mode anymore".
How someone who has so far contributed to very little other than one of the most soul-less, cynical pieces of shit of the past 10 years can comment on the work of a legend who invented and inspired pretty much all of SFX as we know it is beyond me.
Particularly when the remake he's lauding is directed by the guy who made The Transporter 2, a lame attempt at a Hulk movie and... oh that's it.
As I said. Twat. -

Because I'm tight with his crew. We were watching some ball on his fabulous media set up that I designed and I said to him, "Yo S Splib(we're boyz that's how we roll) what the hell was up with that Crystal Skull movie?" He looked at me for a long moment then sodomized me with one of his oscars. True story that's how I came up with the script and creature design for Avtard pt2: More Retarded. I'll be directing.
-
to my eternal shame. my only contribution to the batman films taken away :(
-
She can be a nice girl but most of the time she is really stuck up, like she will talk to you but the whole time she just has this vacant look on her face like she could give two shits about you, She just tends to think she is better then most people. But like i said sometimes she was very charming and fun to be around, some of the crew belives she may be bi-polar to a certain degree. That said, damn she is fine, one of the best butts i have ever seen, and she knows it, she would always be wearing littel shorts when not on camera. But then she got all mad when some of her panties and bras got stolen
-
because he probably doesn't have a clue who Ray is or what his contribution to film is.
-
That never gets old.
-
People will still be slaming, Transformers.
-
We bonded on account of both of our first names being "Christopher", and then he took my idea for the Bat-Ears and left me with the bill. Why does no one believe me on this? Also, I introduced Mikey Bay to Megan Fox back when she was 15 and we were dating.
-
I wouldn't mind the armor if it was correct for the time period, but isn't a bit of an anachronism?
Seems more like something out of Excalibur than ancient Greece. -
Looks good to me, Who's to say that Greek Gods would'nt wear that kind of armor, I mean, they wanna look cool, it's cool armor.... I would fully expect Ares and Hades to have armor too, its much more exciting than "old guys in togas" from the original. Its actually a lot like Zhao Yun's armor from Dynasty Warriors 6.
-
It's meant to be a fun movie, everyone involved with both films poured their heart and soul into them, especially Bay. Complaining about them just expells negative energy at people who'll never meet when you should be taking that anger out on yourselves. Clearly if you hate a movie that much then in reality you hate your selfdeal with that nager first and you'll be more happier, Bay is a great man and all this bashing just hurts his feelings
-
And advised him not to shoot a western script that was particularly bad and starred the Rainbow Coalition of western minorities. I'm not kidding about this either.

Next time you see her, you be like

"This here is my world...you just a squirrel, trying to get a nut!"
If she doesn't mace you at that point or threaten to press charges
....you good! -
Because in his first post he talked about being afraid of being recognized for who he really is, and then EVERY post since then, he completely betrays that supposed anonymity he wants. Good example, he sculpted in "C No's" garage, alone, with C-No. Gee, I wonder who that could've been? Nice try though guy. And use spellchecker from now on before you post anything. You don't even know the difference between "to" and "too".
-
Who cares if it doesn't fit with what the Greeks envisioned. He's a God, so no one knows what he would look like and he could look like any damn thing he wanted. So why not a badass sage in battle armor?

I gave the first Transformers a pass, I actually liked it. Transformers 2 however, took everything liked about the first one...Amped it up A THOUSAND and took my money with no vaseline.
All I needed at that point was, as the credits were rolling for BUMBLEBEE and the rest of the crew to point down at me from the screen and call me a dumbass for sitting through that SHIT. -

My Friends...since we are all being honest...I have a confession
by conspiracy
I dated Megan Fox. Yes...I know...shocking. But it is true, really...and well, I guess that is why I usually write such bad things about her. Not that I loved her...No, its just the sex was so good. I"ll never forget the first day I met her...I was working on the set of the first Transformers film...I was Key Janitor on that shoot, and was working late...Bay, being th perfectionist had the crew working late into the night. I noticed a light was still on inside Megans trailer, and as I had thought I was the only person still on set, and thinking it just got left on, went over to turn it off.As I opened the door, I heard the faint sounds of crying. "Hello...someone still here" I said. I heard a loud sniffle, and then a voice said.."Uh...yeah...I'll be just a minute" Kinda embarassed and unsure what I should do I began to close the door when Megan called out.."Hey...uh...wait...come in..please." Well "Fuck" I thought to myself.."I'm not gonna pass up the chance to meet this hot chick" and let myself into her trailer.She was curled up on the couch in the rear of the unit...still in costume, make-up running from her eyes, spray tan still in place and looking like a hooker that just got beat down by her pimp...I tired to hide the 7" fuck stick that had sprouted in my coveralls...but it was no use. "Bay is such a fucking dick" Megan said to me..."YOu know that fucker made me wash his car to get this role...AND fucking blow him...and tonight...when 'I' needed something..the fucker blows me off to go party with that pervert Orci?" I was taken aback at first...unsure how to respond. "I'm sorry Ms. Fox...anything I can do to help?" was all I could say. "yeah..." Megan sniffed, as she uncurled herself and moved to the edge of the couch, "...you can come over here and get me the fuck off" she pleaded as she pulled her fake tanned legs apart. Megan put her arms between her lithe thighs, circling them under and around her calves and grasped at her ankles, her naked vulva glistened with her thick, slick sex as it dripped from her swollen cunt..."Please....just...just fuck me like Michael did when he cast me, please...fuck me hard...fucking use me..please" Thats why I use the name 'conspiracy', I have to protect my position in the industry..and if Bay ever found out I fucked his girl...we'll..I'd never clean another shitter in this town. Honest.
-
you stole it from me.
-
what happened next???
-
You're welcome.
-
You're welcome.
-
That wasn't Megan Fox.
That was Jetl93. -
I was Best Boy at craft service! Small world. Anyway enough reminiscing. Where the fuck are the Calibos photos. Nothing else matters. METALLICA!!
-
and he is fucking with us to take revenge for all that hate he has received.what a cunt.
-
Greek gods can be hurt, they can bleed, and yes, they can be castrated. Damn straight Zeus wears armor.
-
Zeus always is depicted having white hair and beard,its a symbolism of authority.I dont like Neesons Zeus portrayal especially with that armor.anyway.
-
If so that would make him a writer, effects tech., character designer, and tranny par excellance. Ya know...I was kinda suspicious how the chick got those manly toe thumbs...guess that explains it.
-
seriously? Zeus looks so lame. What the hell? Take the beard off, or make it closely shaven. He looks like homeless Santa. I never thought I would say this...ever! But Neeson looks lame.
-
of Forrest Gump. He seems to be almost everywhere at once.
-
being the total narcissist he is, he'd show up as himself...any attention is good attention to a guy like that.But if it is Bay...I'll have to ratchet up the EVIL next time I write something.
-
Where's some pics of that?
-
I had them sculpt him into the designs for the lower half and back of the movie while writing all of his dialogue and drawing the blueprints for his house with Christian Bale's scowl wrangler.
-
Really? Just because someone poured their heart and soul into them? I'm pretty sure guys like Hitler did the same with their ambitions, and he turned out to be wrong. So now all of the sudden I have to give a movie a break because people put a lot of effort into it? What is this the special olympics? Transformers you get the participation award, along with Paul Blart, Land Of The Lost, Year One, G-Force, H2, Whipe It, Whiteout, Observe and Report, Funny People, and other movies that sucked but since everyone gets an award...
-
say it aint so! i'm shocked! judging a movie based on one picture?! TheWaqman, how can this be?!
-
by her naked vulva glistened you meant penis, right?
-
He will be doing product placement for Togo's throughout the film, burying his mane in footlong subs of all varieties.
-
...might be better than seeing Neeson in 300-style diapers.
-
Wow you are upset with the guy because he doesn't know the difference between to and too, and yet you think spell check corrects that sort of thing?
-
end of story
-
who said I was upset with him?
-
Zues had to battle Cronos and the other Titans for control of the universe. He is at heart a warrior god, so in fairness, the armour is appropriate.
Worthington's fucking buzz-cut is another matter-- -

"Neeson looks like he just fucked all of our moms."
by christian_bale_trashed_my_lights
I like Liam Neeson. Seems like a nice guy. Very good actor. He brings something extra to the movies that he's in. Very good at playing roles where he's a mentor of some sort. Bad ass in 'Taken'.But if he comes near my mom, i'll fuck him up.
-
He's badass. check my review site at http://sickpicks.blogspot.com/
-
..on the first Transformer Movie. Every morning it was my job to..."Butter" Megan Fox's "Biscuit"! True Story.
-
Say it aint so. How fitting you think this looks great. Tasteless idiot.
-
All he needs are some tats and a script for an 80s horror movie remake
-
sorry
-
Who's dick is he sucking to get so many banging roles?
-
People have tendency to equate him with the Christian God since he bears a few similarities visually to what artists have rendered God to look like ( in truth this is probably the other way around... Christian visages of God look like Zeus because of the Romans and their perpetuation of Greek mythos. Zeus certainly wasn't omnipotent, and definitely wasn't omniscient. There are several time where Prometheus fooled him, kept things hidden fromg him ( giving humans the gift of fire for instance ) , even attacking him cutting his head off at one point.
As much as I liked Clash of the Titans as a kid, its historical accuracy ( compared to the myths anyway.. and no I'm not talking about the owl ) is only mediocre. Hopefully this will be done better in the new film -
doing what you were flaming me for. you are:
a) completely full of shit
b) a complete and total hypocrite
-
Because underneath Liam Neeson is a flabby old guy.
-
where did i say this looks great? bone up on those reading skills!
-
Well not really, but they'd help and it'll be fun anyways.
-
Wha er wha er whnernh!
-
A monster from the Space Giants series. I wonder if Liam enjoys spending time with small Japanese boys?
-
which is fine by me, as long as they don't fuck up the Gorgon.
-
"zeus doesnt need armor, he needs to look like this..." Please STFU. They dont' "have" to do a goddamn thing.
-
Can’t have Liam going all “Taken” on me.
-
Daddy Skarsgård that is. Hopefully as Oden.
-

They filmed a lot of this on location in a quarry not far from me.Most of the cast stayed in a hotel where a friend works and apparently Worthington is already walking round like he owned the place.
She also said jason flemyng was lovely and brought his dear old ma up to stay with him. -
was walking round in short skirts like the litle sexpot she is.Woop woop etc etc.

And he does wear armor like that on Sundays.JettL93 doesn't know him though. If he claims otherwise, he's a downright liar.

...and in between Gorgonbong hits, I asked him, "Hey, what's up with the full plate armor? I thought you Greek Gods mucked around naked or wore one of those toga-robey things."Zeus replied, "Fuck off you footless pussy. If I could fight for three days with an arrow through my testicle I'll wear any fucking thing I please! Show me a picture of that meth freak Mercury in a toga and I'll eat your Sooty Shorts! Fucking togas...some butt-clown in a bath house wears a white bedsheet and everybody thinks, oh sure, ALL the Gods wear togas now. Pfffttttssshhhhh...whoosh...aaahhh."Zeus again, "Sorry morG, it just chaps my Olympian ass when these mortal know-it-alls on AICN come up with that shit. Like that Michael Martin dickweed...Oooooo, I'm officially dropping my support of LotR because the Gondorians NEVER wore plate armor! Psshht, as if he ever actually SAW one, eh? Those filthy handed Tarks wore so much armoe they looked like walking M-1 tanks!""Tell me about it! Hey, you wanna split another bowl?"

This is starting to look damn cool. Although, I will miss Harry Hamlin's "I-just-farted-and-boy-does-it-smell-like-a-dead-body" look every time he faced a crisis.

BIGGEST Badass... ZEUS... Why would a GOD, the Most POWERFUL GOD... Wear ARMOUR?... Meh.

...according to Entertainment Weekly, the director said Neeson stayed with the role of Zeus because "He promised his sons that he would do it," he says "That was the main reason for accepting the job. His sons are Greek-mythology freaks." So, there ya go...Neeson evidently had to wear that thing all day for about two weeks. Hope there wasn't any rust in, well, nevermind.

I was just disappointed with how Zeus looks. He really does look like homeless Santa. Not at all what I imagined him to be like. I think Fienne's Hades will look so much more badass. Too bad Neeson looks lame.

Considering Megan's skill as an actress; she might actually end up making more in Porn than in legit film. After Jennifer's Body I figure she has TF3, and one more failed attempt at A list status before she fades away.Also...I promise, if she is in the Next Bond Movie...I'll give you a Dame Judith Dench septuagenarian smut fest that will satisfy your cravings. lmao

nothing could be farther from the truth. santa has a white beard and does not wear armor. nice try, but: lame joke

So we're getting a movie that re-imagined a movie that re-imagined a Greek Myth, and if it makes any money at all, will spawn sequels, and become a franchise, that will be re-imagined 10 years from now by some guy who used to direct music videos. Welcome to Hollywood in the 21st century - woohoo!
-
as in, usually porn stars try to become real actors. but, your right. for megan fox, going into porn would be a step up.
-
No, really, really, super dumb. Why does everything hollywood does looks so fake and false anymore? I will not see this movie. 300, Troy, and now this retarded epic piece of utter shit. I need not see a single frame from this movie to know it contains, epic battle scenes shoot like saving private ryan but no where near as good, a lot of yelling, and tons of cg that's sort of good but not really. Fart.
-
Kudos.
-
The Greeks did indeed have full plate armor, but this was during the Archaic Age, in the 7th and early 6th century BC; but unfortunately it didn't look anything like what Neeson is wearing here. I also strongly dislike Worthington's haircut. Something like Butler's hair (Leonidas's hair) in '300' would have been better, or maybe dread locks if you want to go a little more stylish (the Spartans put their long hair into locks). A rockin' beard would have been sweet too. I'm sick of all our screen "badasses" these days looking like Jason Statham. I am sure this will be some fine entertainment though. I'd like to get a look at Andromeda now.
-
..what?..oh not that Zues?...so Hulk Hogan isn't in this? Well fuck it then.
-
Last I checked this wasn't an historical piece, it's Greek Mythology. What exactly defines "staying true to the source material" here? The original Clash of the Titans was a mish mash of various Greek tales anyways. What I care is that so far I see the chess board. I see me some witches three, who better be yelling, "GIVE US THE EYE!". Now all we need is some Boobo, some Calibos, some Kraken, and Medussa. Now I could bitch about Sam Worthington lacking Hamlin's beatiful locks, but I can deal with that. But damn them if they screw up Boobo! And no Boobo is just ... well that just not American...err Greek. Whatever. Just give some Boobo.

Yeah, I've got preconceptions about what a Greek god should look like ... but I would have expected metal armor to be the last choice in apparel for a god infamous for throwing around lightning bolts.

What this all looks like it the militarisation/ Americanisation, Spartanisation of Hellenic culture. Instead of a pastoral, civilised, philosophical/ mythical Greece, we are going to be treate to a macho, barbaric, clanking, shaven-headed and utterly humorless parade of stone-faced heroes. It will be dull, it will be sexist, it will be violent and it will be homophobic. Like Troy and 300. And, ironically, it will also be seethingly gay.
-
Zeus is a dreadlocked Sauron and his son appears to be an ugly grunt. Greek heroes are the one bad-ass role where it's essential that the guy should be, well, beautiful. These were the sons of Zeus; demigods: filled with the favors of nature, intellect and form. Not some nondescript squaddie that looks like he just walked off the set of Dog Soldiers.
-
Since when did Gods and demigods need to encase themselves in ridiculous clanking suits of steel? And it's ugly, anachronistic, faux-Roman, medieval armour too. How feeble is that! The beserker Vikings fought almost naked and they were just men.
I'm telling you; it's the fascist version of ancient Greece. -
And probably carrying weapons. If he was just sitting around in a robe, all comfortable in his omnipotence, the audiences would think he was a liberal commie who probably gave a shit about poor people. And Americans don't want that. They want a gun-tootin god, who wears red white and blue combats, and who can kill commies and fags and ay-rabs with exploding bullets.
At least, that's what I heard on Fox news. -
Why are people taking credit for everything all of a sudden? Jett, how the fuck can you say you designed Devastator when i quite clearly suggested the giant swinging balls, and the 2 fucking dogs and the racist robots. Oh i suggested Christians shitty Batman voice too. I got my big break though by suggesting there should be a shit load of Emo dancing in Spiderman 3. Thats when people really took note of me.

The spin-off of his Hercules show, Xena, was far more interesting... by miles!

I love those Harryhausen films, and I love myths, and it would be very interesting to revisit that territory. However, the director really needs to be someone with a vision - more of an Ang Lee than a Louis Letterier (sp? sorry). Otherwise, you know, uh, what's the point?
-
I know exactly what you mean. Was it me, or was the latest Hulk movie a bit, well, underwhelming? I hope start giving Ang Lee's Hulk movie the merit it deserves.
-
FUCK you very much And I hate Bay and his movie because they represent the decline Of Modern Cinema Laziness at its very core. When Story and acting take a back seat to set pieces and stunts Is what I hate and just because "you had a good time" does not mean you or your friend made a good movie.
-
Testify, brother!
-
Are you as excited for this as you were for AvP: Rectum. PS Kull is excellent nonsense. Stop bagging on Sorbo
-
is a boring, pretentious turdfest of a movie. Simply because everyone in it did not want to be making a film about an inarticulate green goon that smashes things. Le Hulk was moronic trash, but miles better than Ang Lee's snoozefest. Why am I not surprised to see you wank lyrical (not a typo) over it?
-
while Jett's is brilliant have you seen JPT's reply to him above- "That's how Pill Lo rolls" is a Talkback winning comment. I'd give him some intenets for that one.
-
Always worth repeating.
-
How's that for a typo, fucker?
-
That sentence doesn't have a single mistake in it. Well done. As for being someone's bitch, seeing as we all now how Bay left you defiled and debased, sobbing as your dreams of true love shattered in an orgy of sodomy, flagellation and corprophilia, you are a fine one to talk about being someone's bitch. How is life in the asshole of Europe? Still blowing goats "for the protein"?
-
The movie is being directed by the french guy who remade the Hulk?
god help us then.
Ang Lees Hulk is one of the best comic movies ever,but the frenchie's hulk is considered the superior one? bouahahaha
Anyway expect good action pieces from this remake,but with fucked up aesthetics (Neesons potrayal with that awful armor should be a hint) and poor drama content.
-
That's funny seeing as how it's coming from a guy who's been caught lying about the financial and critical response to Star Trek on numerous occasions.
By the way, AsimovLives, are you EVER going to answer the question put to you about how you :
1) Say the box office returns of Transformers 2 "mean nothing"?
2) Claim (falsely) that Abrams' Star Trek is the "least successful" of the whole series?
Why is B.O. important when it comes to Trek but not Transformers 2? Let's see if you have the balls to answer or if you're just another shogunshin. -
has wonderful parodies of JJ's Star Trek.check them out.
-
Ang Lee's is especially bad. It is certainly not one of the "best comic book movies ever". It's not even half.
-
but u r wrong.next please.

...do you have any idea how much of a pathetic loser you sound like when you say you like to drink tequila because "it's James Cameron's favorite drink"?

-
I'm not going to argue on the "u r wrong" level. Give me examples in Hulk that you think make it one of the "best comic book movies ever" to debate. I suspect you know damn well that it isn't and just like to pretend it is because Ang Lee made it. I agree with you BTW, that the armour on Neeson is fucking lame.

"the dialogue between Nolte and Bana"
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Ominus, I'm a staunch defender of Hulk, as Jarv will attest, but the last twenty minutes of the flick does not work. It's great up to that point though, and defintely one of the better comic books adaptations (and shits all over frenchies hulk).
-
I can't get past the armor. I think Zeus, and I think toga. Even for armor I think chest plate or shield, but not +5 plate mail.
-
...well, not really. How long are you going to bore us with the one-trick-pony schtick? It wasn't funny the first 5000 times. Zeus in bad over-the-top sword and sorcerer fantasy armour? For pity's sake WHY? Stupid as hell.
-
If you are not bullshiting (I think part is true. You are some intern in the effects team or something), then this really isn't the place to showoff. If you really have scoops then send them to Harry. You will get eaten alive in here, man.
-
...on Zeus is "Stupid as hell." Everyone knows Hell is neither stupid or smart....just eeee-vil.Heh, just messin' with ya me ol' muckergee. The armor does remind me of Sauron the White (good call Doc).
-
because that scene you are referring to is one of the most awful, badly written, pretentious, lamentable bits of the film. In fact, even were the rest of the film gold- which it isn't- this scene alone would be enough to dump it in the bottom league. My point about that how they believed they weren't making a hulk film is embodied by this scene.
-
Zeus doesn't NEED armor!!!! He's the God of Thunder FCS!!!!!!
-
I told Lucas it would be a great idea to have a CG character that talked funny and that the kids would love him
I told Arnie that Mr Freeze would be the pinacle of his career.
And I told Dakota Fanning, I was also underage, so it would be ok. -
Speaking of Shogunshin, have you heard? Mahmoud is ... a brutha!!!
-
Heh. Thats what I wud have sayit if I wer clevver. No offense morG, "stupid as hell" does sound a bit "Michael Martinezish" eh what? I think it worked for Sauron, but this? Not so much. Didn't read the whole TB before posting. Is that idiot Asimov blathering and dithering about Abram's Trek again? ASIMOV! ABRAM'S TREK IS GREAT I TELL YOU, GREAT! YOU on the other hand, ARE AN ACCOMPLISHMENTLESS MORON. Oh how I wish they'd ban your useless ass.

No doubt you are behind the fridge scene in Indy, the lack of Voltron in Cloverfield and cockteasers.

Cause that's my job a Home Depot. I also fixed the pancakes and sausage that C-No loves, cause that's my other job a Mickey D's.
-
I said, "The blue dong stays."
-
Than don't do it. Say what you will about "Troy", but it did at least try to get the look of the period to be fairly authentic. Here it would seem that Letterier or whoever decided that making these folks actually look like ancient Greeks would be too cheesy or uncool, so he decided instead to make everyone look like heavy metal rock video extras. Very short-sighted and unimaginative.

I designed the Na'vi, and the shitumunks, as well as the Tumbler
by toadkillerdog
You see, a few years ago while I was out on the spacious deck of my outdoor studio paid for with the proceeds of doing an uncredited re-write on Batman Begins, I was busily putting the finishing touches on my design for the Bat Tumbler. Then out of nowhere, three chipmunks with the longest bushiest tails and biggest eyes I have ever seen raced across my design board and knocked over my inkwell. I was furious! So I grabbed the first thing I could get my hands on and hurled it at the fleeing, screeching (almost musical really) forms of the chipmunks! Direct hit! It was a jar of blue paint, and when I saw what it had done - well besides crushing the skulls and breaking the backs of two of the miscreant chipmunks and watching the still twitching form of the third slowly die before I put it out of it's misery with a well placed T-square, I immediately called my buddy Jim in New Zealand and told him of my idea. He loved it! He said he might tweak it, but the blue color and big eyes and tail was exactly what he had in mind. I said he might want to consider adding some sex appeal in that design for the lonely geeks - just think of the extra boost in 'toy' sales that would mean. He loved that idea too!
So please, do not blame my friend Jim for the design, I take full responsibility. And please go see Alvin and the Chipmunks Squeakquel, I was a second unit director on that as well as chief caterer and key grip. I did some uncredited background cgi too, but that was just some minor stuff. And I painted Black Beauty. -
thats the strongest scene that differates the movie from the rest of your average comic-movie genre.and despite your opinion,u still didnt answer my question.cheers.

Nolte: What are we doing here? Bana: We are having a 'father-son 'moment', full of turgid over wrought dialogue and symbolism because that is what audiences pay to see when they come to a superhero action flick. Nolte:Oh. Is that a J in your pocket, can a brutha get a hit? Bana: No, I mean, it's not a J its' a coffee stirrer I chew on when I get nervous. Yeah, so um, er how about that dog trainer? he did a great job, right? Nolte: What fucking planet are you from anyway? What the fuck have you ever done on your life that would merit being able to sit opposite me and trade turgid dialogue in dramatic fashion? You're a fucking comedian fer chrsisakes! I can't take this shit anymore! I want to act! Bana: Settle down man, this movie costs 180 million dollars and 75 million of that went to the sets you ate with your acting! Nolte: Fuck this shit! Unchain me Ang! Let me loose! I'll show you what real acting is!

That's not to say Le Hulk is good either, but at least it was fun. Not something you can accuse Slave Labour Hulk of being.

Go drink some more of someone else's favorite drink and tell yourself that that person's genius is somehow now oozing from your poors. -
I hope there are giant scorpions in this version. Calabus (sp?) pierced Medussas head with his golden trident stump gauntlet and out poured giant scorpions. I remember this from my childhood and still to this day stray clear of heads in burlap sacks just in case Calabus lurks nearby in the shadows just waiting for a chance to unleash giant scorpions upon either myself or Keeley Hazel, neither of which could I allow of course.

Shit, maybe AssLives is oozing from MY pores.

umm ok.

But it was at Summerfields in Wells, Somerset. Not on a movie unfortunately. True story btw. Now the talented little bastard is A-list and I live in Taunton, can't begrudge, he was a proper sound dude.

to make the movie feel more like watching a comic book than a movie.i liked the exploration of the relationship father and son.i liked the fact that they concentrated more on banner and less on hulk.in fact the hulk by itself is the macguffin of the movie,and not just an excuse for action and cgi fest.i like the fact that the movie is multi-layered,and every character has a significant part in the story and is not randomly thrown in there.i liked the dialogue,the acting and the editing of the film.i liked the action pieces,the hulk dogs scene is an anthology scene for me.some directors should take a tip or two from it.
what i didnt like was the design of the hulk and the ending of the film,they really needed a better resolution,a better 'anti-monster'.i dont mind that the action wasnt plentiful,because the story was really great and i enjoyed it very much.
the problem with Hulk is thats a very good film but for the wrong audience,or for the wrong monster.thats all from me. -

.... they should have looked at Stone's ALEXANDER for a good representation of what ancient Greek armor and fashion aesthetic looked like. Say what you will about ALEXANDER (it had huge flaws, I agree), but that thing looked fucking awesome and AUTHENTIC; something the art "designer" on Clash apparently has no clue about.
-
... why else would you keep asking? And you *should* care, because it makes you look stupid, and makes others less likely to take your opinions seriously. The word you were going for is "differentiate", and it wasn't a typo. Out of curiosity, why can't you accept that others disagree about the quality of the dialogue in that scene from Lee's Hulk? They aren't disparaging it simply to fuck with you. It really IS pretty bad, IMO, and apparently in others' as well.

obviously he'll look better within the context of a scene
by spazatronik2000
with the lighting, camera angle etc, but this picture does look pretty retarded. Like someone said it looks like a homeless guy just found some cool looking armor in a dumpster.

Love that line in LAST ACTION HERO. "Here, Sir Lawrence Olivier plays Hamlet." *dead-eyed stares from the kids* "He also played ... Zeus, from CLASH OF THE TITANS." And the line is delivered by a teacher played by Olivier's wife.
-
... 80sh FLASH GORDON vibe from what I am seeing. Bland, dead-eyed hero, British actors embarrassing themselves, bad special effects. It's going to be an epic - disaster.
-
You think that somehow makes you special? HALF of Hollywood has the exact same story to tell - she sets up the scene HERSELF. AND, the whoel Key Janitor thing? That's called RESPECT for her.
-
Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but in the Empire interview the reason given for Zeus' (and the other gods apparently) full plate armour is that they wanted to make the gods look completely distinct from the mortals - almost futuristic in the context of the film timeline. Given that they are gods, and the violent nature of the times, the producers wanted the gods to look as if their armour had been divinely created in complete contrast to normal Greek armour of the time.
The explanation works, but I'll hold judgement until I see it within the film.
What I am not over keen on is the idea of Perseus having a giant scorpion to ride instead of a horse - but again, I'll hold off until I see it. -
called TAINTLICK that posts in All Caps. Fuck off, imbecile.

If I want to read a comic book, then I'll read a comic book. If, on the other hand, I want to watch a film based on a comic book, then I want to watch a film. The split screen and mock panel effect was distracting, irritating, poorly conceived and just downright messy. This sums up what is wrong with it in a nutshell: "the problem with Hulk is thats a very good film but for the wrong audience,or for the wrong monster.thats all from me" Except I disagree about it being good. The point being, that even a staunch defender accepts that they weren't making a Hulk film- they film they made is for the "wrong monster"- and this was obvious from the moment Bana opened his fucking idiotic trap and said shit like "This isn't a comic book film, it's a Greek tragedy" (I've paraphrased, but that's the gist of it). Funnily enough, I suspect that if they had made a tragedy, then Lee wouldn't have done half the stylistic quirks that suck so hard and it would have been infinitely better. And as for holding up that abysmally awful dogs scene as some sort of pinnacle? puh-lease. That was shit.
-
Jesus Christ, someone has to be taking the piss!
That was some of the worst, most laughable CGI I have ever seen in a big budget film. The concept sounds good; "Hulk fights giant mutated dogs", but to make them a fucking poodle and some sort of comedy bulldog is an INCREDIBLY bad decision which just flushed everything proceeding it down the toilet. -
but so is the whole idea of gods living on a mountain and eating ambrosia. I'm just saying, as long as the gods are human looking; why not give them some nice shiny armour? I'll remain cautiously optimistic for once. PS: Ang Lee has NEVER made a bad movie, except for 'The Hulk'.
-
Dunno about that. Lust, Caution is far, far worse than The Hulk.
-
Indeed I've read that it's not very good. So he's made two terrible movies but I still like the rest of his work. After Ride with the Devil I even had a thing for Jewel. A girl called Jewel for God's sake!

Whoe ever metnioned the way Alexander looked was right...
by sepulchrave
It did look pretty good. And the general idea of how the Hellenic Greeks thought about themselves was nicely accurate, even down to the gayness. We think of them as fags; they'd think of us and puritanical and incredibily sexually insecure. Modern Hollywood is basically Roman; a militaristic, insecure, crafty and parasitic culture of nervous macho-men selling testicular swagger to an army of decadent, overweight, aggrerssive and physically desperate men with no outlets for their sexual and violent energy outside porno and action movies. Hence fascist wet-dreams like Fight Club, where heterosexual men couple in sweaty bloody embraces, and sterile World Of Warcraft crap like this.
-
That this talkback, has gone without a mention about 300.
-
Wow... the Greek gods were supposed to be living in the lap of luxury and willing things to happen... whoever is writing/directing this just doesn't get it... the gods would not have been wearing armor... period! This is an obvious attempt to connect with the mainstream public that like 300 and other like-minded films before it...
Leave alone that Zeus is always depicted with grey/white hair, as he was one of the oldest gods around...
Wow, Neeson is going to be involved in two bombs very close to each other! -
2for2true has a poop flap.

lol... there you go!

"the Greek gods were supposed to be living in the lap of luxury and willing things to happen... whoever is writing/directing this just doesn't get it... the gods would not have been wearing armor... period!"
THEY don't get it?! So if the gods were living in luxury, willing things to happen they wouldn't have been wearing armour, then why would Zeus feel it necessary to appear older with white hair?!
The Greek gods - whilst obviously having god-like qualities - were not invulnerable, and could certainly be injured or killed by another god - or a wily mortal/demi-god (like Perseus)with the right equipment.
Ares (funnily enough, the God of War) was always portrayed wearing armour, so it would make sense in the violent times of the film's mythology for the gods to be wearing armour.
The typical view of the Greek gods swanning around in togas is something that has been popularised by (relatively) modern artists and the media. -
This film is going to bomb because of armour and wrong hair colour?! Shoddy logic aside; these are the LEAST of this film's worries...
-
..not practicality or plausibility, which mean little when you're discussing myth and legend. Sure some of the gods are depicted as having worn armor, (although not Zeus or Poseidon, by the way) but the problem that those of us who actually Classical literature have is that these images don't look authentically "greek" enough. If you are going to base your story around these themes, it would be nice to depict them in a way similar to how their originators imagined them. And since the Greeks left a wealth of artifacts, sculptures and reliefs of their ancient pantheon, we have a pretty good idea of just how they imagined them.
-
and has a Trident. Hades has a magic helmet, so it's reasonable to imply armour. Athena and Ares are always depicted in armour- Apollo quiet often. I can't think of Zeus in armour, but it isn't that that's wrong. It's the wrong fucking type- that's what did it. If he was in Spartan gear would we give a fuck?
-
Where have you seen Poseidon in armor? Not being sarcastic, I'm just genuinely curious. They've recently dug up some old sculptures of him in the meditteranean where he was completely in the buff.
-
It just ain't Clash of the Titans without Judi Bowker as the sweet-faced princess Andromeda. God, whatever happened to her anyway? It's like she just fell off the edge of the planet sometime after 1985. I recently saw a DVD of the PBS series Dracula and I fell in love with her all over again. Ms. Bowker, where the hell are you?

ENOUGH

Would have liked Zac Snyder to have directed this instead, but this director will have to do.

People would have complained about Snyder, screwing up two tales of Greek mythology.
