[Mr. TNT]

Oh Gott, und noch ein Film der Kindheitserinnerungen weckt und jetzt "verhunzt" werden soll!?? Ist einer meiner persönlichen Favs!

Naja, denen in Hollywood fällt ja eh nix mehr ein, außer f*#!kin' Remakes zu drehen! :twisted:

[John Woo]

Scheiss Remakewahn!!!!

[Joker6686]

Lasst das net den Stefan hörn, fand die Effekte immer so genial, also für die Zeit, stehe dem Remake auch skeptisch gegenüber, da der Charme des Originals den Film ausmachen.

[SFI]

Also ich kenn das Original net, aber so geremakte dicke Sandalenfilme mag ich!

[kami]

Wenn man bedenkt, dass das Original nur wenig mehr als zweifelhafte, wenngleich sympathische FX und einen grauenhaften Hauptdarsteller bietet, dann ist zumindest genug Raum für Verbesserungen, gerade auch inhaltlicher Natur, gegeben. Könnte interessant werden.

[SFI]

Laut Variety soll Steve Norrington die Regie übernehmen!

Das habe ich letztens auch gelesen ... und fand die Meldung sehr interessant, da ich Norrington für nen ziemlich stylischen Regisseur halte ... könnte also was werden ... auch wenn der Charme der Vorlage mit ihren herrlichen Tricks unerreichbar bleibt ... Harryhausen ist einfach mal Gott!

Gott, was hatte ich als kleiner Pupser einen Schiß vor der Medusaschlampe in dem Tempelgewölbe. Als der Typ sich hinter einer Säule versteckte und die immer näher kam, wär ich fast in Ohnmacht gefallen.

Auf a Remake freu i mi. Aber *freeman nachplapper* Harryhausen is Gott, das CGI-Gedöns wird die Tricks nicht adäquat ersetzen können. Ist aber auch egal, ich nehm den auch so mit Kusshand.

Relativity Media is negotiating with Henry Cavill ("The Tudors") to star as Theseus in the Tarsem Singh-directed "War of the Gods."
At the same time, Warner Bros. is in talks with Sam Worthington to play the role of Perseus in the Louis Leterrier-directed "Clash of the Titans."

Deals for both actors are expected to be worked out, keeping the Greek mythology-themed projects on a parallel track. Both films are expected to begin production by late winter or early spring.

The projects have different plots, but each film will be made for under $100 million because the visual effects will be accomplished using the greenscreen techniques that made "300" so visually arresting.

Relativity got in the Greek game last summer when it bought the Charley and Vlas Parlapanides-scripted "War of the Gods"

Hollywood Gang's Gianni Nunnari and Canton Prods.' Mark Canton are producing with Ryan Kavanaugh.

At the same time, "The Incredible Hulk" helmer Leterrier committed to WB's "Clash of the Titans," a remake of the 1981 film that tells the story of Zeus son Perseus' journey and battles against Medusa. Scripted by Lawrence Kasdan, the WB film is a co-production with Legendary Pictures, produced by Basil Iwanyk of Thunder Road and Kevin De La Noy.

Cavill is best known for his work on Showtime's "The Tudors" but was also on the shortlist to play the Man of Steel in "Superman Returns."

Worthington, one of the finalists for the James Bond role that went to Daniel Craig, is starring for director James Cameron in "Avatar" and plays a pivotal role in the McG-directed "Terminator Salvation."

As revealed exclusively in this month’s issue of Empire – now on sale, fact fans – Gemma Arterton is set to star as the demi-goddess Io in Louis Leterrier’s forthcoming remake of Clash Of The Titans. Last night, though, Arterton showed up at the Jameson Empire Awards to pick up the Best Newcomer award, and was full of more hot Titans tidbits.

Interview mit Worthington:

You're doing another big fantasy project right now with "Clash of the Titans," right?
Worthington: We're filming it, at the moment.
Q: What attracted you to that?
Worthington: Who wouldn't want to run around in a dress and kill the Kraken. That's the appeal. I read the script and was jumping around the bed with a ruler, and my girlfriend was looking at me like I'm nuts. She said, "This is the one you're going to do, isn't it?," and I said, "It's deep, trust me." But, I had a take on it that I gave (director) Louis Leterrier and the studio, and they were mad enough to let me loose and see if it can work.
Q: How will it differ from the original?
Worthington: We've been filming it for two weeks now and I'm more bruised and battered than I was on "Terminator." We've taken on Medusa, we've taken on the witches, and then we just kill everything else. It's a bit more brutal. There's no togas, or there's very little togas. I said, "I'm not wearing a toga. Bugger that!" You can't look manly in a toga, I'm sorry. I couldn't do it. Louis is a very good action director, so it's going to be exciting and big, and my job is to bring the heart.
Q: How different is your character, compared to Harry Hamlin's performance?
Worthington: I'm going to play it exactly the same. [Laughs]
Q: What's your take on Perseus?
Worthington: It's hard for me to discuss that because I'm in the middle of it. It's something that, when we go and promote that movie, I can tell you whether it worked or not. I'm in the middle of discovering whether the take is gonna work.
