Looks kinda cool ... but where's the Kraken???

[Robelwell202]

Interesting... I hope that they do better than the cruddy remake of 'The Day The Earth Stood Still'.

[RDClip]

I generally like movies about the Classical era, so i'll give this one a chance.

I'm still waiting on a Sparticus remake though.

Looks kinda like someone saw 300's box office returns and bought the name "Clash of the Titans."

[macrossnake]

I was looking forward to this remake.

However, this trailer has nothing but only showing many 'very' small piece of actions, not impress me at all.

I will still go to see it though.

[Max Jenius]

Never seen the original movie. Always a fan of the myth though, so I'm hoping it's good.

[Keith]

And then Zues is all "THIS IS OLYMPUS!"

[Dangard Ace]

No Bubo? = not a good film.

[Wanzerfan]

No matter how much CG you use, it still doesn't hold a candle to Ray Harryhausen's (sp?) excellent stop-motion animation work.

Also, how can you compete with Sir Laurence Olivier and Burgess Merideth?

[nugundamII]

This looks amazing.

As a Kid I loved Clash of the Titans

Did I see Liam. Looks good.

I hope we get to see the little mechanical owl

One movie im anticipating.

Trailer looks more interesting than ferngul i mean Avatar

Are you working for the advertising team...?

[Dangaioh]

I wonder if there will be any Bionoids.

300 + Creatures from a Guillermo Del Toro movie

[Ghost Train]

I hope Medusa gets a more er... modern remake as opposed to the traditional snake-hair head. Type-Moon did an awesome job with Medusa (aka Rider):

The whole turn-to-stone look thing is supposed to be metamophorical anyways, what I'm trying to say is that they shouldn't pass up on a chance to put more fanservice on screen.

Um, yeah...I hope they don't put wings on Pegasus, either. And the Kraken should be just some dude, since it's all metaphorical.

Wings on a horse? That's ridiculous.... let's make it a flying donkey so we can slip in a moral lesson about being ugly and useless yet still being able to succeed if it tries its best!

[Einherjar]

Looks kinda cool ... but where's the Kraken???

I don't think that was ever part of Greek mythology, it was Norse or something. Maybe they're finally fixing that for the remake.

No, the Kraken is Greek...but in the myths, it's just a giant octopus.

I knew it

I suspected they were his designs.

I love his creations!

And it can be voiced by Eddie Murphy!!

Now Norse mythology is one area that has not been explored enough in modern film. How about a film about Ragnarok? It would be great.

You raise an excellent point there. CG effects do look great, but we all know that they are put together in an afternoon by some twentysomething year old kid with acne.

Think about Harryhausens effects, laboured over for days and weeks to create truly beautiful creations. I'm not saying that is the sort of effects that they should be using now, but they do have a certain charm, in the same way that the model and puppet work of Gerry Andersons team making classic series like Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, UFO and Space:1999 do.

Personally I don't think we need this remake, but then again my opinion on remakes is well represented here. And yes, I thought it did look a lot like 300.

I'm still waiting on a Sparticus remake though.

WHY????!!!!!

And yeah, I loved the original as a kid, been years since I've seen it but I'm looking forward to the remake.

They remade Spartacus...

[myk]

Maybe now they'll have the money to have a Cerberus with 3 heads instead of 2...

Too Human had some promise in that area, but...

[Gui]

As a kid already, I thought the original sucked big hairy balls, especially in the field of SPFX, and particularly the animation of the kraken; also, the hero looked like a pussy. By far, I prefered the comic adaptation...

At least, this remake looks good

[captain america]

No, the Kraken is Greek...but in the myths, it's just a giant octopus.

I was an avid enthusiast of Greek mythology as a boy, and I can tell you quite sincerely that the Kraken is a creature taken from Norse mythology, not Greek. In the original story of Perseus, I think that Cassiopeia offends Poseidon with her vanity, prompting the latter to unleash a sea beast called Cetus (not a Titan by any stretch), who can only be appeased by a human sacrifice (Andromeda.) The original movie was essentially a mish-mash loosely based around the story of Perseus, with much creative re-writing. I really did like that particular rendition of the Kraken though; probably one of my all-time favourite monsters as a child.

In fact, the original Clash of the Titans film departs rather wildly from the original mythology in soooooo many ways, but was still pleasant to watch. This newer rendition looks like it will also not be faithful to the source material, albeit in different ways.

Stone and Parker got their grubby mitts on that one a few years ago. And about the flick...

...Let's just say the movie has the first explicit love scene between two marionettes.

Stone & Parker are a bit hypocritical in my opinion. They love to make fun of Hollywood's extreme left-leaning tendencies and how it contrasts with their own excessive wealth... yet they achieved their fame and fortune pretty the same way.

I don't think that they could ever be accused of taking themselves too seriously.......

I was avid enthusiast of Greek myths, too, and I was POSITIVE the Kraken was there, but after looking it up on Wikipedia, I guess it's not. Sorry.

And yeah...the old movie bugged me with its divergences from the myth...but again, having Pegasus sprout out of Medusa's neck would've been kinda hard to pull off without everyone in the theater either laughing or scratching their heads.
