Nathan Caroland Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Well .. reuse of the name, I expect it has little to do with the original movie. That and I get to check out and see if this media embedder works. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6CJenNMsb4[/ame] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vezinas Ghost Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) I remember well going to see the movie in '81. I believe it was the second film i had seen in a theater, first being Empire Strikes Back. I own the DVD and still watch it anytime it shows up on cable. One of my all time favorites, and Burgess Meredith is so fun to listen to. That said, I think this looks cool. I did see the Stygian Witches in the trailer and couldn't miss Medusa. Ralph Fines as Hades and Liam Neeson as Zeus? Wow, very nice. Agreed it will be a far departure from the original, but it seems you have to hack and slash stuff up these days to be a success at the box office, cater to the young crowd. I expect a fun movie, but nothing can take the place of the original. Edited November 21, 2009 by Vezinas Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetang22 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I was a very big fan of the original as well....great epic for its day. I only have one question - where's a brief teaser of the Kraken??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpainter Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I too was a Big fan of the original. Had the toys and I even made a Medussa model out of clay. This one looks really good and "Epic". Gotta love the tagline - "Titans will Clash!" -K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Didn't know they had toys of that .. had to google-fu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thryth Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I'm really not a fan of the way that Hollywood reuses names for no reason these days. I would be happier if they did their "remakes" and remade the name, too. Anyway. Great movie, Clash of the Titans! The last movie that Ray Harryhausen choose to make, if I remember correctly. Probably the last great stop-motion movie. The "remake" looks interesting (I guess that it's a remake because both movies have giant scorpions?), but I wish that they used a different name.

redstripe Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 The trailer seems to have many of the scenes from the first movie. I am a -huge- fan of the first movie, probably my all time favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomes70 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I'm okay with a remake. Looks like fun, and really the first was just fun too. I wonder where the Giant Kraken Toy I had went? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonherald Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 yay /..... lookingforward to this with a little trepidation .. as all have said in my top 5 all time favourite films and a remake is good in my eyes I won't try to compare the two but will just crack open the popcorn and enjoy..... plus having the youn lad here means I have an excuse to buy the toys that ll no doubt follow... yay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
