Clash of the Titans Remake

Yes, that's right, a remake is currently in the works.

Screenwriting hero Lawrence Kasdan has been tapped to pen "Clash of the Titans" for Warner Bros. Pictures. Basil Iwanyk is producing via Thunder Road.

A remake of the 1981 cult classic, the story revolves around Zeus' son, Perseus, and his journey to save Princess Andromeda during which he must complete various tasks set out by Zeus, including capturing Pegasus and slaying Medusa. The original marked the final film on which Ray Harryhausen did special effects.

Travis Beacham ("Killing on Carnival Row") wrote a draft.

Lynn Harris is overseeing for the studio.

For Kasdan, "Titans" is his first fantasy-style project since the early 1980s, when he wrote the screenplays for "Return of the Jedi," "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark." He has since tended to write, as well as direct and produce, more earthbound fare such as "Mumford" and "Grand Canyon." He next exec produces the upcoming "In the Land of Women," written and directed by son Jon Kasdan, which bows Friday.

Let's hope it's better than the 1981 version.

Re: Clash of the Titans Remake

The 1981 version had one thing going for it: Harryhausen's beautiful animations. Apart from that, it was nothing very special (although there are worse ways to spend a couple of hours and Medusa was an exceptional piece of work).

I suppose we will have to put up with the usual fandabbydozy CGI in the new version. I, for one, feel a bit like a child in a sweetie shop and I'm absolutely gorged on Computer Imagery in film. I don't know how much more I can take. Ho hum.

I guess think Pirates-2's Davey Jones, with his head on upside down... (for Medusa, that is)
