About That New CLASH OF THE TITANS Footage Being Shot...
Merrick here...
There's a story making the rounds at the moment that CLASH OF THE TITANS - due in March - is having some "reshoots" done . A few folks (like THIS ARTICLE in the L.A. Times) are asking if this means the film is in some kind of trouble.
The very short answer to this question is: "NO". We did some checking around with trustworthy sources. Turns out, the need to flesh out a few TITANS sequences was identified a while back (this kind of thing happens on many film projects). However, the production couldn't get much of the new footage they needed until now because it required Liam Neeson...and he's been busy filming THE A-TEAM.
So, the generation of this new material isn't a case of last minute scurrying or trouble. This is merely a case of having to wait to the last minute to accommodate insurmountable schedules and whatnot.
If you haven't seen the most recent trailer for CLAHS OF THE TITANS, be sure to checdk it out HERE. It's smokin'...
Oh yeah, they're talking about releasing the film in 3-D.

constant tentacles, arrows and assorted gorgans flying in my face, cool.Unless it's Sam's man tentacle in which case very cool.
-
...the locations and sets look great but the trailer left me a little cold. Perhaps it was the music? Oh yeah, fuck Michael Bay's Transformers movies. FUCK THEM!

Medusa looks hot.

will show him wearing the Hannibal wig with the Zeus outfit.
-
I don't even think they said that during the Exorcist Prequel debacle.
-
looks to be hardcore
-
Reshoots mean improvements to the film. Chill out! This is great news! They want to give us the best quality film possible.

He was ok in T:S, I hear he is bland as hell in Avatar, so I am worried that he will not breathe life into Perseus, and that alone can kill this movie. I am optimistic, as the movie looks to be kick ass, but a bad performance can really drag a movie down, I hope in this case it does not.
-
Im not sold either. he was the main reason Avatar fell flat for me.
-
in the original. He just had to look good with a sword while fighting a cardboard cut-out, or whatever they used as a placeholder for Harryhausen's effects.

Film Schoo 101 : "A pick-up is a term used in filmmaking to refer to small, relatively minor shots filmed or recorded after the fact to augment footage already shot. When entire scenes are redone, it is referred to as a re-shoot." ... I'm pretty sure all movies go through this... at least those with budgets.
-
Casablanca because Bogart got on the plane, or when Rosebud was a hobby horse.
-
lol...
-
Or when Rhett Butler said, "Frankly my dear, I'm quite concerned. Lets talk about this for awhile."
-
It's a normal part of the movie making system. Sometimes it can get a little bit extreme (The Wolfman), but most of the time it's a normal part of the (post-)production process.
-
It would still work if Rosebud was a hobby horse.
-
'Clahs' = Epic Spelling Fail

I thought that afterward...thought no one would catch it.
-
in pre-production. Not post. Did any of you see that Superman post-produced 3d "effect"? Yikes.
-
my pun.

#1: This kind of speculative worrying about whether a film is "in trouble" because of reshoots is so boring and stupid. WHo cares? Occupy your time with something else. Reserve judgment about the movie until you see it - or see enough of it that you know you don't want to see it.
#2: 3D in movies really sucks and detracts from the experience rather than adds to it. I decided this after watching Avatar. I doubt 3D will get better than it was in that film, and for me, it did not work to advance the story in that film. -
Nothing on IMDB about him but we have heard on here that he is in it. I think we see him in this new trailer but nothing really stands out. Hopefully these reshoots are putting more Calibos in the movie;)

First cut of Aliens: "Get away from her, you egg-laying piece of shit!" True story...
-
I plan to reshoot all over Judi Bowker's ass...
-
has refined 3d like no other movie. Look at it and even without the glasses, its like looking into water ripples. Its so different than any other 3D ive seen
-
bad cgi giant scorpions? comeon....
-
First cut of The Exorcist: "Your mother plays the rusty trombone in Hell, Karras, you faithless slime!" True story...
-
killed T:S. Oh and a shitty script. So I hope Clash of the Titans has a better performance by Worthington and he's able to control his accent.
-
I thought he was great. I don't get what's so 'bland' about him. I think 'he's bland' is geek shorthand for 'he's new and got high-profile roles and that makes me uncomfortable because I don't know him stranger danger stranger danger.'
-
Vader:"Luke, I AM your second cousin.."
-
Its already been said after Avatar that 51% of all moviegoers are into 3D, which is causing Hollywood to boost up its production of 3D films. If I remember correctly the article said 2010 might hold store to 25 films in 3D, but don't quote me on that. I just remember it being an alarming number, it might have been even more than that.
-
First cut of Terminator: "I'll return at a time more convenient for you." True story...
-
from the original was recently rediscovered at a yard sale in Vermont.Perhaps the producers want it back in the new film?
-
Bigbadtoys had a replica for about 50 bucks sold out. I'd like to imagine the Vermont folks turned it into a clock that would warble on the hour....driving everyone crazy.

The movies that feature guitar rifts as part of their musical scores are ALWAYS brought down by the shitty sounds that are guitar rifts. ALWAYS.

Re:Re:Reshoots
First cut of PREDATOR: "If it bleeds, perhaps it requires urgent medical attention and has already left for its own planet to seek a doctor?" -
looks awesome and I love the song that plays during the trailer. As for Sam Worthington I didnt care for him early on in Avatar, but as the film progressed I actually started to like him. Maybe because of the fact he is in his Avatar form for the rest of the film, but yeah either way I started to find him tolerable. The film itself was visually amazing, but I found the plotline extremely predictable. Since there are sequels in the works I would love to see were they go next with the story. Also, I wonder if well ever see Avatars vs. Aliens since some are considering the fact that it they may take place in the same universe although I still believe theyre parallel universes, but Im just rambling.

..in that preparatory bathing scene at the end of Clash of the Titans. Sorry to ruin it for some of you, but that lady was about twice Judy's size, and if you'll notice there's a huge cut in between shots.

owls owls everywhere, congrats, my next script will contain a character named either Harry or Calder
-
Both are extremely common. Big tentpole films are even more likely to have reshoots because they have to go through focus groups, etc.And I'm just going to say it. This was exactly the kind of film to remake. The original is loved, but doesn't hold up well. It was held back by technological limitations at the time. And I believe they can take the new film in a different direction while preserving the concept and improving on it at the same time.

Should not be a problem. Movies taking place in Roman, Biblical, ancient etc, times always have British actors cuz they speak "non-American", so it must fit, right?Charleton Heston and Victor Mature, and all those '50s actors don't count.

Look at me,LOOK AT ME.do you like my new lipstick? it makes my smile more vivid.

Would be funny though.Studio Exec:"Well, we're re-shooting because the movie is just plain awful. We fucked up big time. Capital S, screwed the pooch. I'll probably get fired for how awful this movie is for costing several hundred million. I apologize to anyone with eyes and ears for the film that you will eventually see."

-
First cut of Network: "I'm mad as hell, and I'm going to write a letter to my Congressman about it!"
-
No acting... he just sounds/looks the same. I love him as an actor but they could have least tazed him until he presented some gravitas.
-
First cut of Taxi Driver: "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to ME? Oh you are? I'm sorry, can you repeat that?"
-
It's when they delay the release of a movie for re-shoots that you know the film is gonna suck.
-
First cut of Scarface: "Say goodnight to the asshole in the restaurant! It's the last time I'm gonna eat here, lemme tell you."
-
Shelock had almost half the movie reshot and seem it turned out great. Wolfman is the same. At last studios are giving movies the extra cash and time to get it right instead of rushing shit out to make a quick buck.
-
the reshoots are simple filler shots that had to be delayed for initially in respect for Liam after his wife passed and for production on the A team. the film itself is going to be amazing, theres definetly an old school sword and sandle feel to this film as well as a new era epic feel to it (think Ben hur, meets 300 meets pirates of the caribean)
-
you read that in the news story. If you are gonna bullshit at least get your facts straight. Neeson's wife died before he started production on clash.
-
Maybe if Rosebud was, like... a bag of drugs, or a porno magazine or something.
-
Tagline! Will! Be! Ridiculed!
-
Release the Kraken,before i get really angry and go Bryan Mills on their butts.

First cut of The Fly remake: "Be afraid, be really, really, really afraid, like 'shit your pants' afraid, because, seriously, this is some fucked up shit." True story...

and decided to reshoot him in CG, because his CG performances in Avatar are better than his live action ones.
-
Come to think of it Rosebud does kind of sound like a kiddie porn mag.Dying old man clutches his chest, falls to floor, and whispers "Rooosebuuud"...while sporting a giant chubbie.
-
Are we talking The Kraken in 3d? Zeus's lightning bolts? Medusa?
Sooo...there! -

sam worthington is a terrible actor so here's hoping his
by famouseccles
dialogue is minimal. hope this is his last gig and he fucks off.
-
level effects to bring it more in line with the original. Also a guest appearance byoriginal star Harry "Making Love/LA Law" Hamlin too.
-
They're simply a packaged good that Hollywood expects us to swallow....until we start rejecting these shit package actors, this will continue. Now go fuck yourselves for watching Worthington in T4. That movie was insipid horse jizz.
-
Avatar was announced a while back. Saw him in the croc film Rogue that I guess sat in the shelf for some time. He was living in a car 3 years ago when he got the call from Cameron. Living in a car!! I think casting directors thought, well if he's good enough for Cameron....Now yes, he would have to pass auditions, but Cameron really put his name on the map.

...had additional last minute re-shoots and/or ADDITIONAL shoots. Sometimes they're just adding, not changing.
-
He's one note, but he does have some humorous moments. "I'm gonna find you a tighter shirt!". Worthington is so flat.
-
Top Gun: "You can suck my cock anytime." "Bullshit. You can suck mine."
-
I can't wait to see Worthington's character trick Whoopie, Joy, and Barbara Walters out of their shared eyeball in this film. In fact, I'll pay $15 to see that happen.

Hmm... Opinions?

The changes ripple across his features, from comatose to nerve-paralyzed.
He used to be a brick-layer. Now he's a brick. -

huh?
-
WTF!? If I can take the time to spell everything correctly on my blog that all of 5 people have looked at then I think someone could take the extra time to spell check everything on this site which gets millions of views. Jeez
-
they shouldn't even be newsworthy, unless they are like The Exorcist where they reshot 95% of the movie.
-
I wish him all the fame and fortune in the world. Is it too much to ask the guy to at least muster the acting chops of say a David Hasslehoff?
Or my couch for that matter? -
Was that a S.O.D reference I read?
Nice. -
he got for best actor in Somersault means nothing to you. Oh that's right, you have more than likely only seen him in Terminator as a robot and maybe Avatar in which he does great with the character he was given. You are not cut out as a comedian, let alone a casting director, bud. Stick to being a useless cunt on the internet. Thanks.
-
His AFI award means nothing to me.
The moment his acting impresses me I'll be sure to let you know.
I'm glad his little 'trophy' means so much to you.
Form your own opinion. Tool.
-
Yes. Yes it was. It warms the cockels of my heart that somebody got that.
-
I salute you as the true metal warrior that you are!
Any other old school shit you are into? -
Props to you for knowin' yer shit. I try to listen to a bit of everything, but back in the day I was heavily under the influence of old school Anthrax, Metallica (up to the self-titled album), Slayer, etc. How 'bout you?

AsimovLives.

to pad the DVD with "special features."
-
Great stuff. Those bands (and others) were part of that great scene back in the day.
Do you recall bands like Crumbsuckers, Whiplash, Voivod or Destruction? -
The others I know by name only. Worth checkin' out?
-
And perhaps I'm being nostalgic haha. I loved those crunchy riffs!
-
Crunchy riffs rule!
-
The trailer is OK. This is better than the first one I saw, but it still looks like it could be a... problematic movie. But, I guess we'll see soon. I like Worthington though, of what I've seen of him so far, and want him to stick around. Kinda why I wish he wasn't in this movie. I mean, the star is going to be all the mythological stuff. Anyway, the music. I don't like that music. It's too loud and distracting and seems to want to sell this movie as something I don't want it to be. So yeah, it's an OK trailer. Did like Sam Worthington's look though. I think they got that right.

DoctorWho, so you missed my point then?
by player_two_has_entered_the_game
That you have only seen him playing a robot in an overall shitty terminator movie. Cool. Just checking. The AFI means nothing to me either. Just helping you get a bit more info on a guy you like to bash for the sake of bashing. Or do you have a hidden agenda here? seems a bit pointless otherwise.
