cause nobody cares.
I say go for it. by Knuckleduster	Jun 27th, 2008 08:38:25 AM
But only if they stick to claymation. Poor Norrington, that guy is his own worst enemy.
I guess Hulk didn't do so bad after all by terry1978	Jun 27th, 2008 08:38:49 AM
Now if it had really been considered a fucked up movie, he wouldn't get this geekboy gig.
but what we really need is by That 70s Venom	Jun 27th, 2008 08:39:04 AM
someone to do a live-action Ninja Scroll. and if Steven Seagal is in it I will shoot my cat in the face.
Good director casting by Franklin T Marmoset	Jun 27th, 2008 08:39:39 AM
Clash Of The Titans is a quality piece of trashy fun, and if anyone can do justice to a remake Leterrier can. Go, Leterrier! We have no one left to root for but you (until James Cameron comes back).
RE: Franklin T Marmoset by That 70s Venom	Jun 27th, 2008 08:40:56 AM
did you forget about Paul Verhoeven and Ridley Scott
I think I have that script ... let me check gmail inbox. by The Gospel According to Bastardface	Jun 27th, 2008 08:41:21 AM

Yep, I have it and will send it. by The Gospel According to Bastardface	Jun 27th, 2008 08:41:54 AM

zeus had a wicked by juice willis	Jun 27th, 2008 08:43:30 AM
action figure collection. hope mr. kasdan keeps that in mind.
i was thinking Thor. by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 27th, 2008 08:46:29 AM
hopefully Marvel will forget about that one.
This story is not interesting in of itself by Doctor Land	Jun 27th, 2008 08:50:51 AM
The potential battle between Hulk guy's cheesy mythology movie vs Tarsem's cheesy mythology movie "War of the Gods" is the real story... or maybe not
also thought we were talking THOR by juice willis	Jun 27th, 2008 08:53:59 AM
that one could definitely be the deal breaker for marvel and their new-look cinema continuity.
Went to a Ray Harryhausen talk this week by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 27th, 2008 08:55:53 AM
He signed my book. Happy days.
Could be a good choice by superfleish76	Jun 27th, 2008 09:04:03 AM
Leterrier is a competent action director. If the script is as good as the rumors, this could be a really fun movie. While I have nostalgic love for the original, I've always wanted to see a Greek Mythology movie done right.
"Shia as Perseus!" by matalo	Jun 27th, 2008 09:07:21 AM
No, sir. They need the fake Shia- Michael Angarano. He is just as annoying but hasn't played a wannabe Greaser.
Finally, a remake worthy of doing by strosmer	Jun 27th, 2008 09:09:49 AM
Love the original. Harryhausen is one of my biggest influences as an animator, but I see no harm in doing an update to this movie. Greek mythology, or any ancient mythology, begs to be portrayed cinematically. Should be a decent remake with Letterier and Kasdan on board.
RE: WhinyNegativeBitch by That 70s Venom	Jun 27th, 2008 09:11:12 AM
ya true that... but a ninja scroll movie could be done right... the problem is that the chance of a good director/producer/cast coming together for it is not very good at least right now.
The new Hulk sucked. by Speed Fricassee	Jun 27th, 2008 09:13:52 AM
Ang Lee forever!
Hulk was overrated? by blindambition238	Jun 27th, 2008 09:18:14 AM
I haven't seen any gushing about it since it came out like 2 weeks ago. After that weekend it seemed like it got forgotten on the TBs. Although, it has been doing steady business here in the UK.
Stephen Norrington by Series7	Jun 27th, 2008 09:40:39 AM
I've heard stories that he is really weird. Like something about on the set of blade he went out and got a bunch of tatoos and piercings one night so he would look bad ass?
Fuck off! by photoboy	Jun 27th, 2008 09:43:19 AM
We're not having fucking Shitey the Beef in this film! The news that Leterrier is making this is good, I think he's shown a lot of promise, especially with The Hulk. So even though this is yet another remake, I am carefully optimistic.
Louis Leterrier = Great Guy! by Demode	Jun 27th, 2008 09:44:14 AM
I had the pleasure of working on the HULK last summer, and I just gotta say that Louis Leterrier is an amazing guy. The coolest Director I have ever met. Nice to everyone, and just a genuinely good person. I hope to see his name attached to more projects in the future.
I leave for a few hours... by DerLanghaarige	Jun 27th, 2008 09:50:06 AM
...and suddenly there are six new stories on AICN. One that I read everywhere else before, two that I don't care for and three reviews by Massawyrm. That's seriously bad in my eyes. Yes, I'm a little bit bitchy today. Sue me.
Speaking of cool directors by Hawaiian Organ Donor	Jun 27th, 2008 10:10:50 AM
And yes, I'm posting this in every TB today, for those that call Stephen Sommers a hack, on the set of GI JOE, he instructed Sienna Miller to wear fake breasts as her own cleavage was not big enough for him. According to Miller: "I wear a tight black leather outfit. And much bigger boobs... They gave me these things that looked like chicken fillets. The director said, 'I'm gonna be honest, I like girls with big boobs,' and I don't have them so we made them bigger... At least he's honest. But I was mildly offended."
Just please don't let it be... by HapaPapa72	Jun 27th, 2008 10:28:47 AM
Adrian what's-his-fuck from Entourage. Maybe he can loan his hair to whoever DOES play Perseus, though. They better keep the Andromeda bath scene at the end though!
WTF? The Princess of Power as Persius? by ElvisPresLeeHorsleyHarveyOswaldO prahWinFreeJackHorkheimer	Jun 27th, 2008 10:29:08 AM
Wait. Shia is a dude? who knew? I've been betting She-Ra Le'poof is the next OD'd celeb. Come'on She-Ra do another line for me. Shia is the "Corey" of the 2k's. Once you barf into the bag it's hard to get it back into your stomach. So, in Hollywood they just use that old barf-bag for lube. Sometime a producer needs a handjob, ok it's daily, but the point is - Fuck that snot-nosed punk ass no-talent boy-bitch wannabee Corey Haim knock-off, he smells like a rancid canned ham that's been pissed on by an ensyphilitic bum when you approach him because his contract with Satan was poorly worded. Strangely enough that's the same smell that wafts out of the Coldplay trailer.
THIS is a remake that I welcome by Mullah Omar	Jun 27th, 2008 10:32:41 AM
I love the original CLASH OF THE TITANS. But like I've said since the CLASH remake rumors started, this is exactly the sort of remake that Hollywood SHOULD consider. As much as I love Ray Harryhausen's effects, a story using Greek mythology would benefit from the technical advances of the intervening decades. Even script-wise and casting-wise, the original had a lot of flaws, though I still love it. As for Leterrier being the best guy for this, well, I really don't know enough about the guy's work to comment. I wish him luck and hope that this does well so we can get more Greek mythological films in the pipeline.
R2-Bubo by YotzVonFrelnik	Jun 27th, 2008 11:05:17 AM

R2-Bubo by YotzVonFrelnik	Jun 27th, 2008 11:05:57 AM
It occurred to me that, damn, you really couldn't make any move in those days after Star Wars without putting a cute robot in it. Geez.
Star Clash by TheManBehindTheMask	Jun 27th, 2008 11:10:14 AM
I love Clash of the Titans but when I watch that funny owl... all I can see is 3PO and R2D2 all in one body! The score is pretty much Star Warsish too. (and don't forget the usuals: old bearded sidekick, princess to save, sword fight, father/son story etc...) I just hope they will come with new ideas for this remake.
Thank fuck it's not Thor by kiddae	Jun 27th, 2008 11:11:53 AM
Not because I don't want to see a Thor movie, but because The Incredible Hulk was terrible.
Bubbbbbooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo by Shigeru	Jun 27th, 2008 11:55:54 AM

Two questions by Vern	Jun 27th, 2008 12:21:17 PM
1. What did Letterier actually do on TRANSPORTER (the first one)? Every time anybody refers to him they claim he directed the first two TRANSPORTERS, but the first one is credited to Corey Yuen. I thought he was second unit director or something, but if somebody knows for sure please inform me. 2. Will Stephen Norrington ever be rescued from oblivion? I was hoping this would be the one to do it, but I guess not. I know DEATH MACHINE isn't very good, THE LAST MINUTE is a mixed bag and LXG is a piece of garbage, but come on. BLADE is way too good and too unique to be a fluke. There's gotta be at least one more good movie in that guy. I hope he comes back to directing some day.
I worked at a theater when "Clash of the Titans" by Drunken Rage	Jun 27th, 2008 12:51:16 PM
came out. Some idiot came to the box office and asked for a ticket to "Crash of the Titanic." He wasn't joking, he was just stupid. And one day some conjoined twins came in, but they saw "The Devil and Max Devlin." Sat in one chair they brought with them.
Vern by Hawaiian Organ Donor	Jun 27th, 2008 12:51:59 PM
1. Letterier is credited as artistic director on the first Transporter. I turned the second one off after 20 minutes so I can't say whether Letterier has any real directing chops. I'll be seeing the Incredible Hulk when it hits video so I can evaluate then. 2. Norrington is supposed to be hell to work with. Makes life unbearable for the cast and crew. Sort of like David O. Russell. And I'm opening myself up to all sorts of criticism here, but I actually thought LXG had one or two things going for it, namely how they used practical effects for Mr. Hyde which really impressed me. Couldn't save the movie overall, but it deserves a little credit. Besides, it's Connery's last movie.
Leterrier is good people by Spandau Belly	Jun 27th, 2008 01:22:16 PM
I probably won't see his Hulk movie cuz I don't like superhero nonsense, but I love both Transporter flicks and Unleashed, and am a big sucker for this mythological beast type movie to the point where I am actually going to rent 10,000 BC this weekend against my better judgement. Cory Yuen is also good people. I kinda actually doubt that he directed the first Transporter film. He was probably a glofified fight choreographer with Leterrier standing near the camera and Luc Besson standing slightly closer but nobody can say for sure who directed it.
Death Machine isn't very good? by DerLanghaarige	Jun 27th, 2008 02:39:08 PM
It's Norrington's best movie! (not flawless, but a VERY enjoyable low budget SciFi Horror Action movie.) Yes, I don't really like Blade. It starts great but begins to bore as soon as Udo Kier explodes. (But Blade II is seriously great!)
Lawrence Kasdan what? by theredtoad	Jun 27th, 2008 03:44:10 PM
You just wrote his name then followed it by info in parentheses. Is he writing it? Kinda wish he would write for this site, so I could actually understand the shit I read.
The Hulk.. by ClockWorker	Jun 27th, 2008 04:07:49 PM
wiped the floor with both tranporter films and danny the dog ten times over. No question about it.
Tom Welling IS Perseus by Live.	Jun 27th, 2008 05:11:15 PM
Shia better stay the hell away, although I don't hate him like other AICN fanboys seem to. He can be pretty decent, but he is far to scrawny for this he-man sword and sandal epic. STOP THE SHIA HATE! Give the dude his props. (but keep him far away from Clash of the Titans)
Is Peter O'Toole still healthy enough to take on Zeus? by Live.	Jun 27th, 2008 05:22:13 PM
When was the last time anybody saw him in a movie? How is he doing? We need someone who can live up to Laurence Olivier and bring his sense of majesty to this fun flick. It's hard coming up with anybody of his stature.
and COPY THE MEDUSA SCENE EXACTLY! by Live.	Jun 27th, 2008 05:45:44 PM
For a B-movie, that scene packed an amazing amount of tension. As a kid watching it, I was on the edge of my seat, about to jump out of my skin from the anxiety induced by that scene. It was powerful stuff. Even if they cgi her in the remake, they need to copy that scene exactly. Keep the same pacing, camera angles, and everything.
Corey Yuen by barrignite	Jun 27th, 2008 06:17:41 PM
It was Corey Yuen, i dont know why people keep making mistakes about that. Or maybe im a pedantic prick.
Clash of the Titans should happen in modern day by chien_sale	Jun 28th, 2008 12:46:25 AM
Not only would that make it different from the previous flick, but it would be awesome seeing greek Gods roaming around the World. I think they shouldn't make it only about Perseus too.
Bubo was not anachronistic by judderman	Jun 28th, 2008 05:45:01 AM
Haephestos designed plenty of robots. What he was was an R2D2 ripoff.
James Macavoy by Turd Furgeson	Jun 28th, 2008 11:04:36 AM
He's the only person I can think of right now.. Shia's too damn skinny.
Tarsem's WAR OF THE GODS will be better... by Chuck D	Jun 28th, 2008 08:14:13 PM
...I promise you. This Frenchman is a hack.
