Clash of the Titans teaser trailer!

The first trailer for Clash of the Titans is now online! When I first saw it I wasn’t too sure on the music, however after watching it a few more times it grew on me. The footage itself looks amazing and I’m glad we’ve only got to wait till March to see this.

Clash of the Titans stars Sam Worthington as Perseus, a man born of a god and raised as a man who is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

The film also stars Gemma Arterton, Mads Mikkelsen, and Danny Huston with Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier directing.

First look at Liam Neeson as Zeus in Clash of the Titans

Ever since it was announced that Liam Neeson would be playing Zeus in Clash of the Titans I knew I would be seeing the film during it’s opening weekend, as the casting was epic. Today EW posted the first image of Neeson in costume, an while it’s not in a polished form such as a trailer or poster, Neeson still looks badass.

Louis Leterrier, director: ”[We had] the hottest week in England this summer, but Liam was such a trouper. He never complained. He always had little fans blowing in his face but he never said, ‘I want to take off this armor.’ He stayed in character as Zeus.”

I’m loving the ground map and small figures. That will probably be the place where Zeus commands his allies and performs his godly tasks. We need a trailer now!

Empire reveal some new Clash of the Titans pics

Empire were sent some exclusive new images from Clash of the Titans, and they look quite cool. The image above features Sam Worthington as Perseus who has a run in with some witches. When I first saw them I thought they were creations of Guillermo del Toro, which is a good thing.

“He’s just your golden hero that you’re meant to follow,” says Worthington of the old Perseus. “I feel when my Perseus starts out, he should be this bombastic tank. The gods have killed his family. He’s Charles Bronson! He’s gonna go for revenge, and the best way to achieve that is to kill the Kraken. Well, to kill the Kraken you gotta kill Medusa. To get to Medusa, you gotta take on the witches. Then once he kills the Kraken, he’s gonna kill fuckin’ Hades and Zeus and everybody else! But along the way he needs to learn to calm down, ask for help. And out of that comes the true hero. A hero isn’t someone who leads men; a hero is someone that’s in the trench with the men.”

We will probably get a trailer soon as there are only 5 months to go before it is released.

Behind the scenes of Clash of the Titans

Liam — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 17:26:09 +0000

MTV were invited to the set of Clash of the Titans and in between takes they managed to interview members of the cast, including Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton, Liam Cunningham and former Bond villain Mads Mikkelsen. The video below also shows us some behind the scenes action from their shoot in Wales.

Clash of the Titans is directed by The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier and also features Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades.

First look at Gemma Arterton on the set of Clash of the Titans

Liam — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:51:37 +0000

We’ve already seen pictures of Sam Worthington from Clash of the Titans, both on set and official images, and now it’s time for us to direct our eyeballs in the direction of Gemma Arterton.

From Gemma Arterton Online:

Arterton plays Io, a mysterious spiritual guide who helps Perseus (Sam Worthington) throughout his journey as he battles unholy demons and fearsome beasts. She will most likely end up as his love interest too. 2010 will be a big year for Gemma as she has Clash of the Titans which is released in March and then two months later Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time hits our screens, which she stars in alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. I think by this time next year people who know who she is and she won’t just be known as ‘that red head who had intercourse with Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace‘.

Another pic of Worthington in Clash of the Titans

Liam — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 02:28:30 +0000

Empire got the first official image from Louis Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans earlier this week, and now we have another image to give our mythology shafts a boost. Below we have a shot of Sam Worthington as Perceus, who looks a tad angry.

Dear Warner Bros, please could you give us a shot of Liam Neeson as Zeus, or one of Ralph Fiennes as Hades? I don’t think I could handle the epicness contained within so release them one at a time please.

Empire has a better look at Sam Worthington as Perseus in Clash of the Titans

Liam — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 23:36:55 +0000

Two weeks ago we got some images from the set of Clash of the Titans which gave us our first look at Sam Worthington as Perseus. Now we have a better look as Empire have an exclusive image in their July issue, which someone has managed to scan.

I have no idea what or who he is battling, however as the film takes place in Ancient Greece it will most likely be a a mythological creature/man of some sort.

(Interesting note: This is our first official image of Worthington from Clash of the Titans which has been filming for a month now, yet he finished filming Avatar almost a year ago and we still have no official shots of him or anything from the film, only set shots)

Clash of the Titans set pics

CraveOnline got themselves some pictures from the set of Louis Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans. The images show Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation, Avatar) on board a boat wearing a Greek style tunic. It’s not the manliest piece of clothing, however I’m sure battling mythological beasts will make up for it.

Sam Worthington talks Avatar, Clash of the Titans and Green Lantern

Liam — Tue, 12 May 2009 17:21:57 +0000

If there is one actor in the world that you should keep your eye on, it’s Sam Worthington. In 2006 he bagged the lead in James Cameron’s Avatar and ever since then he just can’t stop landing good roles. He will be seen later this month alongside Christian Bale in Terminator Salvation (which should take him out of the ‘unknown’ category) and he is currently filming the Clash of the Titans remake. If things work out he could also end up playing Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern for Warner Bros (director Martin Campbell nearly cast him as Bond in Casino Royale, however he lost out to Daniel Craig at the final stage).

While on the rounds for Terminator Salvation he spoke to IESB about all these cool projects he has got himself involved with:

On Avatar:

You’re never dictated by the technology with Jim. Jim is paramount to the actors. Everyone thinks that he’s technology driven, but he’s the best fuckin’ acting director I’ve ever worked with. He picks up on subtleties and details that you wouldn’t believe. So, he’s employed me to come in and do my job, and then we use the technology and I work with him. It’s give and take. Jim isn’t a dictator. He wants it fuckin’ high, but so do I. I’m not there to get pushed around. I’m there to work with the man. And, that’s why I got the job. I don’t get pushed around. I’ve done 10 years [of acting] in Australia. I didn’t do that for nothin’. We worked together. It’s a privilege to work with directors who like pushing the boundaries and taking risks, like McG. He’s taken a hell of a risk on this movie, with his career. That’s what I like to be a part of.

On Clash of the Titans:

We’ve been filming it for two weeks now and I’m more bruised and battered than I was on Terminator. We’ve taken on Medusa, we’ve taken on the witches, and then we just kill everything else. It’s a bit more brutal. There’s no togas, or there’s very little togas. I said, “I’m not wearing a toga. Bugger that!” You can’t look manly in a toga, I’m sorry. I couldn’t do it. Louis is a very good action director, so it’s going to be exciting and big, and my job is to bring the heart.

On Green Lantern:

I’ve been talking to (director) Martin Campbell about it. It’s one of those things where they’re still doing the script. I said, “Give me a script. Let me have a look at it.” I like Martin a lot. I met him on the Bond stuff, and I like his work, but the second step is, “Is it a movie that I’d go and see?”

As well as all the above Sam has finished working on a romantic drama with Keira Knightly called Last Night, and he will be playing an agent chasing a Nazi war criminal in The Debt alongside Helen Mirren. If this guy isn’t careful he’ll get beatings by other lead actors for taking all the good roles.

Danny Huston to play Poseidon in Clash of the Titans

Liam — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 09:38:43 +0000

According to THR Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 30 Days of Night) has joined the cast of Louis Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans. Huston will play Poseidon, God of the sea, alongside Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades. Filming began in studios outside London this week.

In Clash of the Titans, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.
