Gemma Arterton as Io in 'Clash of the Titans'

The above image is the third image to surface from Louis Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans. It’s not that exciting but it is one of only a handful of images released so far (you can view the first two images here).  The image features Gemma Arterton in costume as her character Io, Perseus’ (Sam Worthington) mysterious spiritual guide on his journey to save Andromeda (Alexa Davalos).

In Greek mythology, Io was a priestess of Hera in Argos who after being seduced by Zeus is turned into a Heifer (cow).  It is uncertain how or if the Greek mythology is worked into the new film.

23 year old Arterton previously starred in RocknRolla, A Deal is a Deal, and St. Trinian’s.  She also has three movies slated for release during 2009-2010: The Disappearance of Alice Creed, The Boat That Rocked, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

Clash of the Titans follows Perseus who embarks on a quest to save a Princess (Andromeda) and along the way is forced to battle various mythical beasts, including Medusa and the Kraken.

Clash of the Titans will be released in theaters:
USA & UK – March 26, 2010
Australia – April 1, 2010

Sam Worthington in 'Terminator Salvation'

IESB have posted an excellent run down on a press interview with Sam Worthington on the Terminator Salvation promotion trail.  If you didn’t already know, Worthington is the 32 year old Australian bricklayer turned actor who is about to take the world by storm with his roles in three blockbusters: Terminator Salvation, Avatar, and Clash of the Titans…and maybe a fourth in The Green Lantern.

Here’s a selection of excerpts from the interview categorized by film.  For the full interview, head on over to IESB.

Terminator Salvation

Q: What was your take on your character? How did you see this guy?

Sam: To be honest, I looked at him as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. That was always stuck in my head, about this person waking up in another world and finds himself as they go on this yellow brick road and find the heart, the brain, the sensitivity, and all these characters you meet. And, he’s going to Skynet, which is Oz, to ask the question, “Why am I not fuckin’ dead?” That’s how I looked at it. That’s why I’m wearing a blue coat. Dorothy wears a blue dress. Things like that were stuck into it. Alice in Wonderland, same thing. That’s how I approached the character. I also wanted to be a robot that felt pain, not only physical, mental and emotional, but here’s a guy who wanted to die for his sins and the irony is that he wakes up and he can’t die. He’s stuck and his penance is to suffer, until he transforms and becomes a better human being.

Q: Did James Cameron say anything to you about being in Terminator?

Sam: I told him that they wanted me to do it, and I said, “Here’s my take on the character and here’s what I want to do with it,” and he told me, “Just don’t fuck it up!” That was about it. And then, he went back to filming Avatar. As Jim said, he wants to look at it, as a fan.

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.
