‘Clash Of The Titans’ Remake Begins Principal Photography
The Robot Owl From The 1981 'Clash Of The Titans' Film
Principal photography began yesterday on Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ epic action adventure Clash of the Titans. The film is being directed by Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk) and stars Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation / Avatar) and Academy Award® nominees Liam Neeson (Taken / Schindler’s List) and Ralph Fiennes (the Harry Potter films / The English Patient).
In Clash of the Titans men are pitted against kings and kings against gods as all struggle for power. 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), the 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.
Rounding out the cast is Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace) as Io, Perseus’ mysterious spiritual guide throughout his journey; Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) as Draco, who takes up his sword to join Perseus’ quest; Jason Flemyng (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) as Acrisius, a one-time king-turned-hideous beast; and Alexa Davalos (Defiance) as Andromeda, a princess doomed to lose her life if Perseus does not succeed.
Clash of the Titans is expected to hit theaters March 26, 2010.
