Check out this CLASH OF THE TITANS Featurette at Latino Review!
Hey folks, Harry here - How trippy was that Winter Olympic opening ceremony up in Vancouver? I was twittering about that when I saw that Latino Review posted a rather awesome Featurette on CLASH OF THE TITANS. I absolutely love the look of this film. I love the idea of marketing Perseus as this dumbass superhero that doesn't know he shouldn't go up against the Kraken, but he's so headstrong and determined... he ain't got no quit. That's a neat way of framing the character. With Harry Hamlin, he just had the desperate hornies for the princess that was gonna get eaten by a big god-fish-monster. That was essentially his motivation. But the Sam Worthington PERSEUS... Apparently he's mad as hell and ain't gonna let no Kraken thing get in his way! Seriously, head over to Latino Review and check it out. I really do have a real good feeling about this film. What do you guys think?

If you're not doing the DVD cplumb anymore, why not just inform us instead of making us wonder what the hold up is. It's been over a month.

...but it sure smells good!

I forgot to change accounts. Ah well, you had to find out I was Wampa 1 eventually.

It's moved to the top of my list -- even higher than Iron Man 2!

RIDLEY SCOTT SHOULD HAVE DIRECTED CLASH OF THE TITANS!!!FACT!!!
by tehcreepythinman
I've been dying for Scott to return to Sci-fi, Horror and Fantasy forever and it would have been very, very cool to have had him at the helm for this remake. Now, I do think the trailer for this looks great and Louis Leterrier did a very good job with The Incredible Hulk, so I will be seeing this at a theatre, but what I would have given to see Scott take this on instead of that fucking stoopid Robin Hood movie.

It does look good, hopefully it lasts the whole movie
by canvasseamonkey
-
and this movie just looks all kinds of awesome! But back to Sam. I will say it now, he will get an Oscar in the next 5 years.
-
instead of Centurion. Not that Centurion might not be good, but I really fucking hate this Worthington clown.

Well Harry, you love everything, so of course you have a good fe

that is all.

The original is probably one of the best adventure films ever created. I still think the effects and story are awesome to this day. I hope hope hope that this lives up to it.
-
Worthington struggles with his accents doesn't he. I can't tell if he's going for American, English of straight up Australian...maybe all of them. I'm sure he's a nice bloke but I'm already tired of him.

Why did they make Pegasus black? It supposed to be white.
by orionsangels
Starts April 2 in 3d, 2d, 4 and 5d in selected theaters, plus in imax 3d, 5d, 6d and more d's to come.

No nipples on Medusa = no ticket.
I like my gals with big ol' titties and snakes in their hair.
"Look in my eyes while I fuck you bitch. Yeah, you got me hard as a rock." -
Poor old Sam Worthington takes so much shit on these boards for his accent.
Did you ever hear John Wayne sound anything other than like John Wayne? What about Clint Eastwood? David Niven? Robert De Niro? Al Pacino? Arnold Schwarzenneger, Sly Stallone?
I've seen Sam in two movies, both of which I enjoyed him in - im hoping CLASH will make it 3 for 3. -
...that came up with this one?
-
makes it look like a cheap Xbox game.
-
I agree. I really do. People don't give him the credit, but I totally agree with you, dude. Just like Jensen Ackles has the potential to be the next Harrison Ford.
-
who made that joke about "a kraken good time!"/.Seriously, buy that talkbacker a drink.
-
Lazy ass trailer with headache-inducing rapid rapid RAPID M-tv style cuts from scene to scene....what the hell ever happened to staying focused for more than a second on a damned scene?
NO....I don't feel good about this. So fucking tired of this style of filmmaking. -
Digging it.
-
So what if Medusa's boobs ain't on film? Go play God of War 2. You've got an obese and naked Medusa there.
-
and a milkline down to her navel. More creepy and animal, and it would pass the censors. Oh well, we can always hope Deja Thoris isn't wearing too much...
-
Sam Worthington for President. At least we'll be save from krackens. And Avatars. Oh, wait, shit, bad idea.
-
I really enjoyed the original and I am a special effects junkie and from what I know of the story, combined with the great look of the film I am really looking forward to this movie more than any this year.
-
There is also vagina and ass. But Medusa has neither of these.

L. Ron Bumquist, REALLY? I LOVE THE COLOR GRADING/LIGHTING.....
by tehcreepythinman
Because it doesn't have that annoying look where everything seems to be shot through a color tinted filter. To me the photography looks very real with a touch of theatrical thrown in some parts.
-
because reptiles are famous for their breastfeeding.
-
Anyone that hates on this from what we have seen so far should have their geek credentials removed and never returned!
-
since you are at it,throw in and Godzilla.why the hell not?Fucking Hollywood,ruining everything.
ps.just kidding. :P -
no thank you,fantasy genre is not his forte.scifi yes but not fantasy.

PhxMonsterGuy, just have to point out to you...
by player_two_has_entered_the_game
seeing as you don't seem to know, that this is marketing trailer making. Not film making. Hulk wasn't rapid MTV style film making. Neither was Unleashed/Danny the Dog. Nothing suggests Louis Leterrier has done it this time either, unless you buy into the trendy cutting of trailers these days? Would have thought you had seen enough over the years to know they are for the most part nothing but a collection of quick shots to sell the film in 3 minutes or less to the largest audience possible no matter what the film is really like in tone and style. Come on, bud. Use your head.
-
was the Harry Knowles look-alike performing slam poetry.
-
The Marketing of this movie has completely missed the point.
-
Fatties, shut up, this looks good. It will not revolutionize cinema. Calm down, eat popcorn, watch movie.
-
This line from Latino's articlePerseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth makes this movie sound like a rip-off of Disney's Hecules cartoon.I'm just sayin...

Why do most modern CG effects have to be fast & intense?
by orionsangels
The giant snake from Anaconda comes to mind. You never see slow CG, not since the early days of CG, like Jurassic Park. When the animator was more concerned with realism, rather than fast motion. Almost anything CG these days, is overly intense and fast, giving it an unworldly quality to it. I guess today's effects makers are just going through the motions. There's no more heart and soul. When it comes to special effects.
-
and why?

Where is the Robot Owl and Calibus? The dude with the horns?
by the founder
What the hell? Hades wasn't even in the oringinal if I remember? How they gonna do this without the Robot Owl. Who is the villian? With today's teck, the guy with the horns could've been awesome.
-
...no one would look at her head. She'd never get anyone stoned that way.
-
Hey! Hollywood! Pull your fuckin head out of your ass for a minute so I can jam this pitchfork fist up there.K..done. Shove you head back up that bloody shithole.Assholes.
-
but then, I've always had a soft spot for the Greek Myths, so it would have to be pretty bad for me not to like it. Time will tell.
-
lmao, very good point in the argument for Medusa's covered tits.
-
'nough said.
-
I wish it looked a little more, I don't know... authentic? I could think of a dozen different directions to have taken this besides Disney's 'Hercules' meets '300.'
-
"dozen different directions to have taken this?". please do share then. This is the place for it.
-
Maybe in this remake it could be looking at Medusa's nipples that turn you to stone. The granite effect starts in your knob and then spreads from there.
Y'know sex the mythology up a bit for the 21st century. -
The "fast and intense" look to a lot of vfx animation is purely down to the directors and the studios - they're the ones paying, they get what they ask for. Don't even get me started on the impossible camera moves they always choose...
-
i cant stop laughing
-
And even those tend to repeat themselves. I mean, how many times will we have to endure the "Millenium Falcon passes under the medical frigate" tracking move? It has become the Wilhelm scream of the "let's follow something swooshing and banking to avoid obstacles in the air" shot.
-
Fuck that stock sound. Seriously. Fuck the homage, it takes me out of the movie each time I hear it.
Being a filmmaker you hear so many stock sounds on editing software, and they jump out at you when used on a Hollywood movie. Seirously, even heard "bus pulling away" stock sound in Children of Men. -
or converted later? I think the latter...it does look kind of fun but 2D is probably fine for it.
-
seems to me that Avatar is indeed a game-changer
-
if you combine his disco-ball armor with laser lights:

I'm looking forward to this. Most definitely.
-
I have to see this on principal.

Legend is, by some considerable margin, the best fantasy movie ever made. It hits the mark so perfectly, where many others have failed.
LOTR films were well crafted on some levels, but a really a bit flabby,due to the fact that Mr Jackson doesn't know what subtlety is. They certainly pale beside Ridley's masterpiece of cinema that is Legend. A film never to be matched, I've no doubt. Clash will probably be good, but it couldn't possibly be as good as Legend, that's impossible. -
Moshi, LEGEND is a wee bit too ethereal and wussy for many peoples liking. More on a course with 'unicorn and faeries' school of fantasy than the 'mud and blood' variety.
I have to hand it to the make-up dept tho, cos that Tim Curry 'red devil' is truly OUTSTANDING. -
"If somebody's getting attacked by a kraken, then I'm going to take it on." -- Sam Worthington. I nearly shat my pants. Funniest quote of all time.
-
Might have been a better title.
-
You'd think on a $300m movie like Avatar they would have got him a decent voice coach. Either that or he's too crappy an actor to do believable accents. I think the latter.
-
How much did the hot beef injection hurt Harry Knowles??
-
There's no flavor to what I just saw. It could be a fancy video game's cut scene, or a sequel to 300, or a parody of modern popcorn flicks that make Raiders of the Lost Ark look like Citizen Kane. And Liam Neeson was great in Batman Begins, but does every trailer from every piece of work he's done since have to portray him as the exact same guy?
-
I don't go for the fairies & unicorns thing, seeing as I'm not an eight year old girl, but legend is the most expertly crafted film I've ever seen. I like the way that Ridley took the, usually lovely & sweet, fairy tale vibe & gave it a truly sinister flavour, helped greatly by the performance of Tim Curry & the skills of the makeup dept.
But it goes beyond makeup, every element of this production gells perfectly. It's Masterful. -
That's all I care about.
-
Yup, they should give it a rest. Same goes with the adjective "iconic", Revlon cinematography and bloated pixel barf fests. If I ever I want to see a CG demo reel instead of a movie, I'll order one from Siggraph thank you.
-
then I'm gonna take it on!"
Something tells me Sam Worthington's not taking this role too seriously. -
I love Liam Neeson in just about everything he does and there's no one better for the role of Zeus. This is for the growed ups who know what true mythology is about, so all the lil Percy Jackson faggots can forget about seeing this film. It'll obviously scare the piss out of them...literally. I can't wait to see it!!
-
So Perseus is a dumbass now? What an original and courageous direction for the character to go in! I think that most mythic characters would be much improved by turning them into dumb frat boys. I bet in this new version all Calibos wants to do is party down and get laid.
