Denzel Washington was better in the original.

I hope they use the same special effects

Okay, those actually look good.

But so did "Troy."

dunno why, but these gave me the impression that they're veering more towards safe "PG" than "R" with this

Im still looking forward to it

This is the first time I've read a plot outline of the new film, and I have to say it sounds nothing like the original even in broad terms.

O RLY?

AdolfOliverPanties: But so did "Troy."

Hey, I liked Troy.

And I had no idea that they were remaking this movie.

I have very fond memories of the first one, which had bare breasts in it. At least, I seem to remember bare breasts. I was pretty young. Not so young that I didn't recognize bare breasts as something worth noticing, but young. And it had scorpions, and Medusa, and a Pegasus that sometimes lost its wings but was still a pretty good Pegasus, all things considered.

I came for Bubo...the best animatronic ever.

Needs moar Harryhausen.

I'll only watch this movie if Perseus Monster Truck (^) makes an appearance.

I know! It's not even in Greek! What were they thinking trying to remake a classic?!?

Sounds like a CG nightmare. Claymation is way more awesome.

bessyglass: I came for Bubo...the best animatronic ever.

Bubo was indeed the best animatronic creature ever. He was even a badass.

Sighhhhhhhhhh. I wish my clients had these kinds of marketing budgets.

/Designs film posters and packaging
//No, you've never heard of any of them
///Yes, they are Z-budget horror films

The ancient Greeks had the coolest mythology in my opinion, and therefore I will see pretty much any movie based on it.

LOVED Bubo in the original!

Going by the posters, it looks very, very, very bad. :(

Clash of the Titans! Where we take the name but very little else from a (rather average) SFX movie from the Eighties! Yes, we could have called it something else, since we are not bothering with the original movie storyline, but, that would involve thinking! Or creativity! And we didn't have any money left for those after spending it all on CG effects! And just in case you missed that last line: Millions spent on TOTALLY AWESOME COMPUTER GRAPHIC EFFECTS!!!!

It looks like "300". Please, all my friends think I'm descended from chippendale dancers now as it is, no more, I beg you.

At least the old movie tried to make the costumes look halfway Greek. The new Perseus looks like a WoW character.

I'm going to assume that the posters are just prototypes, especially since Sam Worthington/Perseus's expression is exactly the same in both shots. Apparently they only had a couple of frames left on the roll.

The mechanical Bubo is the obligatory R2D2 stand-in shoehorned into every sci-fi/fantasy contemporary of Star Wars, only better-executed that even lamer examples such as 7-Zark-7 in the Americanized version of Gatchaman. And Bubo's name is Greek for groin. WTF was that supposed to mean?

I'll save my money for something better that month in the area of mythology




God of War would be a GREAT movie but no way hollywood would allow all the gore and violence.

bessyglass: I came for Bubo...the best animatronic ever.

I also came for Bubo. Then I joined this thread hoping that somebody had posted a picture of him.

Don't know how much of the gore will make it in, but there is a movie in the works.

I love this shiat!






and lets face it, she was pretty hot, and I'm a girl!

I loved the original so I am willing to give this new one a shot.

I bet you said that about "V".

much like the much talked about Halo movie. Until they start filming i call bullshiat. But I do hope this one goes through and no Beowulf CG for everybody

I had a Clash of the Titans lunchbox as a kid so I'm getting a kick...

/god lord i'm old

The sad thing is that this version won't have any nudity.

Don't hold your breath, guys... They discussed making The Wathcmen since the eighties...

She's the first crush I can remember having.

Anyway, more Harryhausen...

AdolfOliverPanties: Okay, those actually look good.

Awesome, Troy kicked ass. Hopefully that means good things for Clash.

Ecobuckeye: I bet you said that about "V".

Have not watched the pilot yet...Does it suck?

Hades = Calebus in the new one?

Harryhausen is the shizz
To many CGI craptacular effects ruin a film

/I'm looking at you 2012

srhp29: Have not watched the pilot yet...Does it suck?

So very, very much.

This was one of my all time favorite movies. Please don't suck. The posters weren't what I expected, but they look good. Please don't suck.

This post reminds me of Pratchett. Specifically Good Omens, but some of his other books too.

Another movie with this fun formula: 150M budget. 100M on actors, 49M on Sfx and 1.50 on the script. Leftovers go to hookers and blow
this will suck like the rest of the remakes.

probably... but 1.5 million for the script? that had better be a damn good script

My son had one too. So you're not THAT old.

All I can say is this had better not suck. If it does, Harryhausen's gonna be pissed that his work has been besmirched.

DansLaLuna: I love this shiat!

WHO IS THAT GODDESS???????? Must see more of her... look at those abs!!!!!

Oh great, more assholes out to rape our childhoods.

I'm betting the movie is going to suck.

Caroline Munro...hubba hubba

this thread:




That said, I think this looks pretty cool. But then again, I really enjoy CGI. So there.

alpentalrules: Caroline Munro...hubba hubba

Wow.

I saw it in the theare in its original run, one of my favorite movies ever.

The original butchered the mythology, so it is hard to get angry at this being different. However, there are key things that make it Clash of the Titans.

1) Pegasus
2) Kraken
3) Medusa
4) Lady tied to a rock face
5) Mechanical Owl
6) Scorpions
7) Calibus

Pegasus seems to be in the posters, as is Medusa. Good
That one seems like a Kraken reminiscient of the original (most media Krakens are giant Squids). No Owl I can see, Calibus is gone...

Calibus is a bad ass and hard to replce. If I wanted Hades I'd watch some Xena or Hercules. Or DCAU. Or Disney's Hercules.

Calibus is so underused in mythological movies and tv, and was so awesome in Class of the Titans.

I can even live with dropping the Owl, or making the Kraken a Squid...but dropping Calibus ruins this movie.

That is like remaking Star Wars without Darth Vader.

SakuraDensetsu: However, there are key things that make it Clash of the Titans.

You forgot the princess' ass.
