8 Really Cool CLASH OF THE TITANS posters! Plus where the 9th is!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Hey folks, Harry here with a helluva cool batch of awesome. I got sent these as spy pics - My understanding is that there are nine of them, the ninth got sent to Moriarty (under the pseudonym Drew McWeeny) over at HitFix... he has Hades with Harpies. No, not Mickey's dog. I can tell you from my set visit that this film is going to surprise a bunch of you. I haven't been real pleased with a lot of the photos from the film that have been released thus far... they really do nothing to capture the scope and sense of awesome that the Sizzle Reel does. But these posters do sort of capture the feel I got from what I saw. Here ya go:
Images Removed At The Request Of Warner Bros. This Goes For Those Scalawags At HitFix, Too.
Now these are early works - the final posters could vary wildly, but I just have to say - I really like where they are headed with it. It shows a stylistic departure from the original, a more dramatic intensity - and I feel that's accurate with what Louis Leterrier is driving for here.

Geez, some of us have never been to school so we never learned he killed her and used her head as a weapon. Thanks a lot Hollywood.
-
it all comes down to writing and directing in the end.
-
I enjoyed the original. I am interested to see what they can do with it.
-
Cool posters. color palette is 300 though.
-
That's a great first impression from my perspective. I've avoided set photos, spoilers, etc. thusfar. I like what I see here!
-
Definitely liking Zeus and the last one.
-
......Approves!
-
simple mistake they are nearly identical

Holy shit, those look awesome.
-
Could be nice.
-
...direction doesn't make for film greatness? HOW DARE YOU?
-
...makes or breaks a film.
-
hope its good
-
Oh no you're absolutely right. In a lot of cases, the posters are actually by far the best thing about a film.
-
Unless Lisa Rinna's lips play the monster it ain't gonna be scary.
-
now THAT is fucking awesome!!!
-
Release the Kracken!
-
Pegasus isn't even around until Medusa is slain - he's either born from her blood mingling with the earth or he springs from her neck. Perseus could already fly on his own thanks to the sandals Hermes lent him. CLASSICS 20 at UCLA thanks you for your attention.
-
...will we have nudity?
Without nudity, it's a deal-breaker. -
Yor: The Hunter from the Future
Yor!!! -
I had clash of the titans written all over my BNAT application... dear God(s), I hope they show the old or preview the new!!
-
For the last one. Unfortunately with the big budget they'll miss out on the cool little moments from the original like Poseidon unlocking the Kraken. Unless this thing has subtletly of course.
-
Same diff.
-
of the 1980's. Fuck that fucking mechanical owl. Fuck him right in the ear.
And Det. John Kimble, since when does fact get in the way of a good script? So we wouldn't get to see the cool winged horse until AFTER Medusa is SLAIN??? That's halfway through!!! You've just lost the 8-to-13-year-old-girl demographic with that little chestnut, friend. They'd be asleep by then... and I think we ALL KNOW how that demo has hold of the purse strings. -
Love the original
-
excellent posters, have high hopes for this. lawrence kasdan writing it inspires confidence
-
...that man had a cleft in his chin so deep you could see the back of his head through it. Yikes.

Written by the team behind The Tuxedo and the Aeon Flux movie
by thenorthlander
Well... At least it's not Akiva Goldsman and Francis Lawrence making this.
-
I welcome a remake. It seems one of those movies that deserves a remake. It's a little loose, it wasn't hugely successful I imagine, and it deals in mythology which I love. These posters, especially the one with Perseus going at the downward angle on Pegasus, looks great in my book. AND, it will be prefect timing as God of War 3 comes out.
-
Lawrence Kasdan isn't involved in this.
-
The original was one of my favorite movies from the 80's. When I heard they were remaking/reimaging it I have to admit I have been scared they would ruin it. Visually it looks incredible. Lets hope that the visuals are held up by the narrative.
-
like a whole army of comic relief birds. I remember having the Clash of the Titans figures. I would always lose Perseus's shield but it would always turn up a week later.
-
will own this movie on march 2010
-
be bo be beep beep...who the fuck came up with that shit!!
-
and being so disapointed as leaving the theatre
Can't believe this is getting a remake -
Was about the ONLY weak spot the original had.
-
...like Hunter and McCall. Oh god please!
-
This is a great movie for an update/remake/reboot.
-
but will the movie do them justice?
-
The shaved head, I mean.
-
Would you rather Colin Farrell girly hair? You'd need an actor that already has the do to pull it off. I quite like the Spartan/fantasy thing they seem to be going for. Bit of reality, mixed with the fantasy.
-
because I'm also a photographer now
-
I'm interested in checking this out, plus it means we'll get a blu-Ray of the original film
-
I hope Medusa has big exposed tits.
-
The Kraken and Hades look fucking sick... If the movie kicks as much ass as these posters then its gonna be some kickass shit.
-
http://tinyurl.com/yfejqfqNot quite shaved, but close. Visibly curly though...
-
What are you, fucking retarded?
-
Rygar. That one really takes me back.
-
http://tinyurl.com/yf5jake It is interesting they went so short though...most Greek statues have very contemporary medium/short curly-ish hair. Would have looked fine.
-
Con't Wot

. . . still don't know why they couldn't have just come up w/ a different mish-mash of characters, creatures, and storylines. Endless possibilities.
-
What. A. Gyp.
-
Badass looking Kraken.
-
If the film comes in with the level of greatness those posters are promising, Hint's gonna be a happy cinemagoer on opening day. Bubo better be in it though.
-
CLOVERFIELD!!! ugh. As much love as there is for the first film in my heart, it always bothered me that they used the word Kraken, which is a 19th century Norwegian nautical monster that's a giant squid.

...I'm thinking they just reversed the usual Greek style...
by flickapoo
...I bet the head is shaved but the pubes are about 18 inches long, oiled and braided.A simple reversal is a classic way to pay homage to the original style while still mixing it up a bit. Clever.
-
Pluto is the Roman name for the god of the underworld. Hades is the Greek name. And that picture is of Zeus who is played by Liam Neeson, as the_black_patrick_bateman pointed out. Also Pluto is no longer a planet. I'm done.

I Love how Harry is getting Moriarty's table scraps

Reading too fast the first time through, it's what it looked like.
-
Starring Gerard Butler as mild mannered accountant turned killer Lenny Krull.
-
...is a very talented fella named Travis Beacham. He wrote a superb script called KILLING ON CARNIVAL ROW that Guillermo Del Toro nearly directed.
-
I always found that part of the 1981 film a let-down, considering how many other cool effects there were. This Kraken is HUGE! Andromeda is a gnat in comparison, and utterly helpless. Well done, Monsieur Letterier!
-
these have accomplished their mission: I now give a shit about this film. loved the hamlin version as a kid, and the production design for the update looks to be the shit.Since it's all we've got to go by, color me optimistic.
-
..even be in this. Checked IMDB and don't see the character anywhere. There are some actors without roles so maybe but if Calibos isn't in this they can shove this movie up their gay asses. Maybe Liam Cunningham? I don't know. For me..as a kid..this movie was, CALIBOS THE MOVIE! Not happy. NOT FUCKIN HAPPY!
-
its Ralph Fiennes
-
read that in EMPIRE just yesterday. cool posters, tho
-
perhaps this picture will change your mind.
http://tinyurl.com/ybkdu9s -
Stick with calling him Hades, no confusion with the Dog or the Sub-Planetoid thing. At least they didn't ignore the Gods completely like that shit Troy movie. And with all that armor, these Olympians look way too Norse. I'll try to appreciate the Jack Kirby nature of it though.
-
Stupid studios.
-
want BUBO? Just enjoy the classic original like it should be.
-
That little scamp.
-
Damn, I missed them!

Ah Yor, what a glorious piece of 80's shit you were. And to later follow that up with Space Mutiny, Robowar and Howling 2, damn, ol' Reb Brown must surely win the award for worst lead actor of the 80's. How he got into Uncommon Valor is anybody's guess. He probably just wandered onto the lot while no one was looking, declared himself to be Yor, and the rest was history. By the way, did you know that Yor was originally made for italian tv, and broadcast over 4 nights. The original version actually runs close to 200 minutes (4 x 50 minuteepisodes). Can you imagine that? 200 minutes of Yor! Egads I say!
-
...to get a wide release?
-
If you had learned Greek mythology in school, you would know Perseus slew Medusa, but never rode Pegasus or used Medusa's head to kill the Kraken. And FWIW, as spoilery as that image might be, it is pretty much the image used in the original Clash poster.
-
Haven't seen Terminator:Salvation...not going to.
Won't see Avatar
Don't care to see Clash of the Titans (Neeson looks rediculous)
Why is this guy getting all these sci-fi/fantasy roles? There were rumors of him being in the next Mad Max...why not just cast him as Superman and Homer Simpson while the fires hot! (D'oy...I mean...D'oh, mate) -
what the hell are you talking about?
-
such is the sacrifice us normal citizens must pay who don't spend 24/7 on the internet
-
maybe you should have watched the classic original Ray Harryhausen crafted version of this movie, then it wouldn't have been a spoiler for you, instead of waiting to learn that in school. And I don't think it's that much of a spoiler seeing that he's given the quest to retrieve her head to use it as a weapon. Plus, I think they use the same concept in the God of War games. It's just a commonly known part of the myth, apparently not by you.
-
How can you not have an Iconic villain of his caliber in this film.
-
And then turn around and throw out all this legal mumbo jumbo bullshit and make pple take the images down... Its the "if you can't beat them, join them" routine where they're now the ones giving the scoops, only they pretend not to. But really, its so transparent. This shit has been happening a lot for the past few years.
-
Who's the big monstrous thing supposed to be? Kraken? Or is that Norse?
-
The next Star Wars!
-
Finally another sane person realizes a glaring error with this movie. I have been stoked for this and begging for a look at the classic character. What's next? Remake Gremlins and leave out Stripe? EPIC FAIL! Fuck this.
-
Calibos is in the film.
-
Why have the posters taken down. This is a movie web site with tons of traffic. The posters looked pretty bad ass, wouldn't you want as many people as possible seeing them??
-
Those look pretty great!
-
You can't stop the Interwebs, Muawahaha!!!
-
If people want to see your posters or trailers, that's a good thing.It means that we'd like to give you money. Don't be stupid.
-
TOHO would never give us another chance after that blasphemy that was GINO.
-
Beacham and L. Kasdan did earlier drafts. The script they shot was by Hay and Manfreddi. It's a pretty faithful adaptation.
-
"Who is this Sam Worthington guy who keeps getting cast as the leading man in blockbusters? I haven't seen any of them but I bet he's a fuckwit". No, you sound like a fuckwit.
-
But in the end this is a film directed by a hack, no point getting excited about it.
-
You know, me and my brother were just talking about Reb Brown tonight? I mean, seriously, we were talking on and on about all the fey mannequin-faced teenyboppers that we grudgingly call Hollywood leading men these days and we devoted a special packet of venom for that unknown wooden moron in GI Joe who played Duke (who to call wooden is actually an insult to wood. Man! I can just imagine all the advertising cocks at Hasbro "Films" picking him because he has some sort of brand/name recognition value, bringing an urban contemporary "edge" to their "edgy" movie based on an 80's after school cartoon about Army shmoes who fight but never kill shmoes in Darth Vader helmets) and then Reb Brown came up as in how we wish there was a 21st Century equivalent so he could've rocked the house as Duke in GI Joe. Then we laughed about how acting-wise Reb wasn't much better than Dipshit McShithead from this year's GI Joe. But yeah, Yor: The Hunter From The Future whatta hoot. Still, Reb Brown's ten times the man than I don't know, anybody in a movie these days.
-
but Neeson's beard should be white
-
Zeus vs. Odin. Liam Neeson vs. Anthony Hopkins. THAT's a movie I want to see.
-
estacdao, if you've seen TAKEN then you know Liam Neeson's Zeus would calmly talk his way into Valhalla and then once inside he'd brutally kill every single motherfucker in the place using brawn and bullets. Hopkins would have his balls stamped on and then given one in the chest, one in the head.
Then Neeson would walk out with a drug addled teenage girl slung over his shoulder. Win to Zeus. -
Seriously the best action film I have seen for years! It was a better Bond film than QOS!
Neeson for Bond! -
this times he goes to rescue the USA president's daughter.and kicks the butt of arab terrorists.
-
Unlike that fullshit of shit fool - JettL93. I know who is playing Calibos which has not yet leaked it seems. Would it be a jerk thing to do to reveal it here now for everyone? I know it's just what aicn was set up for, but would hate to spoil anything if it's being kept secret for a reason.
-
Which, if you remember, had a really good first half hour, but then alternated between really boring and really dumb. Just sayin'.
-
I saw you drive past in a little buggy on the kraken attack set. That was one hell of a cool day to visit, man. Look forward to the report.
-
Usually these fad-driven movies come out much closer together. Obviously WB is a slow-poke.

I don't know about Neeson for Bond but the Bond producers should definitely look at TAKEN's director, Pierre Morel because that guy clearly KNOWS how to shoot action plus manages some classy staging of potentially boring dialogue scenes. Think he could make a great Bond director. And yes I agree, TAKEN was a better film than QOS.
The only other film Morel's directed was a French action flick called DISTRICT 13, not one that i've seen yet. Anybody seen it? -
maybe in the way Warners is promoting it, but the movie is more trying to be a gods and monsters flick n the vien of the old harryhausen movies. that is a good thing. don't be put off by the promo stills so far. You will be doing yourself and the movie an injustice.
-
Neeson was up for the part of Bond when Timothy Dalton took over, and when Pierce Brosnan came in, I think he could play an older Bond.
Imagine if Pierre Morel got to do the next Bond movie, it might give me some hope it might not suck ass through a straw like QOS. -
Didn't Edward Norton rewrite Hulk? He's known for doing stuff like that, and I bet we owe that first half hour to him.
-
I'd definitely like to see Morel do the next Bond as well.
-
I don't think QOS was a bad film (as a big Bond fan i'm always gonna find something to enjoy). The opera sequence was the highlight for me. But I really didn't like the shaky-cam ADD editing of the intro car chase and that silly fight sequence where Bond and the traitor agent were swinging around on ropes.
The action in TAKEN was far more plausible and shot in an exciting, dramatic way without resorting to horrible quick cut editing. -
...seeing. It's a good low budget You Took My Sister Now I'm Going To Run Along This Wall, Dive Through A One Foot Square Window, Land On My Hands, Jump Forty Feet From One Building To The Next And Fuck You Up, All With No Visible CG Assistance type of movie.
-
That reference is going to go over so many geeks heads. I bet very few can name the Greek/Roman counterparts.
-
http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00028586.html
-
I'm digging the glimpse of the Kraken. Here's hoping he doesn't look too CGI fakey.
-
...why leave the article up with nothing to show?
-
Because we are still talking about it.
-
Flickapoo, thanks i'll give it a rent.
-
You're right District 13 looks awesome, I'm going to buy it tonight. My first blu ray might be Taken!
-
...yourselves. TAKEN is a little too though, so you know what you're getting into.
-
on my birthday. So I don't know if I want to see this that day or How to train your Dragon.
-
Fucking posters back on this motherfucking site!

Anyone read the LATRO series? Excellent use of Greek Mythology
by the green gargantua
Think Memento meets Clash of the Titans on acid.
-
Queen Latifah. FACT.
-
...I saw these posters. Fuck me sideways if they don't look pretty goddamned righteous. I WANT the "Looks Can Kill" poster NAO!!! Well done, Warners Mktg. Dept.!
-
Taken is surprisingly fun, but really stupid. District 13 is also pretty stupid, but eye-poppingly cool. That French fucker sure can haul his ass over or through anything. Anyone seen the sequel? Curious if that's as good...

They are still available on some other sites. I know OSNSpodcast.com still has them up. http://tinyurl.com/y9gm5jc

Why ? Well, it is a long story and actually quite a convoluted one, long story short, Devin actually got upset that he could not attend an advanced preview (as a member of press) to see an advanced preview of a picture that shall remain nameless. He also has a personal grudge against Jim Cameron himself. This i will explain, Devin has been blacklisted by FOX execs, the reason for this is partially down to the fact that Devin was obnoxious in reviews insulted core members of various teams and insinuated lies and lawsuits. This can even be seen today in his writings on AVATAR`s plagiarism claims. There is also it has to be said a great deal of backdoor shenanigans involving Devin and the hierarchy of FOX. In short Devin is blackballed. Devin found this out via his own message board forums. Now im not standing here trying to defend FOX`s output for the last 6 years, how could i ? What i am trying to inform you on is this... This is personal, This has nothing to do with fan expectation, it has nothing to do with the progress of cinema...
IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH A PERSONAL EFFORT TO DERAIL THE PRODUCTIONS IMPACT.
Yes it is pathetic, yes it is childish, but if you read Devin for any amount of time, you realise childish is exactly what Devin is. the whole AVATAR deal on Chud.com is what the online industry describe as "Leaf littering" take your core audience turn them onto your ideals and use that in turn to attack your enemies. Very simple and very effective. It has been done before and it will continue to happen. It can be a good thing, however when the motives become personal and not representative of the greater fact, that is when moral issues arise. I have it on high authority FOX and in particular Jim Cameron is highly upset with Devin and the continuing abuse he keeps throwing at not just the production but the people who this movie is aimed at (which by the way, is everyone). If you were to lay out the level of abuse aimed at AVATAR and pin that to the production outgoings, you will clearly see that Chud and the level of attack has steadily gone up with the anticipation, until finally we see an attack so blatant and mean that it will make even the most skeptic sit up and pay attention, Devin is literally trying to get third parties involved to actually file lawsuits against the core creators of AVATAR, in particular James Cameron. I am told this is serious stuff, and fox is itching for Devin to step a foot out of line so he can be drawn over the coals. This is a very childish and personal situation Devin has created for himself. My guess is the biggest backlash will eventually fall on Devin -
Ever try to read that site? It looks like Geocities 1999.
-
If I don't see some scantily clad Andromeda..then Fuck this shit.
-
Wouldn't surprise me. Devin and that site was spreading FUD about Star Trek in an attempt to cancel out it's incredible buzz.
If you think this place is for failed film school students, venture in their forums sometime. Horrible. -
...with an ex and a daughter. It is well done, but clearly it is a riff on The Bourne Indentity films, asking the question: Where might Jason Bourne be a decade plus 6 years from the present?
-
Like they were never there
