Warner Bros. Remaking Clash of the Titans

Posted on May 10, 2007

A remake of the 1981 Clash of the Titans movie is in the works. Slashfilm reports that Lawrence Kasdan has been hired to write the remake for Warner Bros.

Kasden was a legendary screenwriter whose credits included Return of the Jedi, The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Big Chill. The once great screenwriter has had a run of bad luck in the last ten years, turning out two films (and only two films) that were less than successful Mumford and Dreamcatcher. It's exciting to imagine that Kasden will make a huge comeback (both creatively and financially) with this one.
The film will need to cast a few stars to draw fans to the theatres. Who will play Perseus, Medusa and Poseiden? Who will replace Ursula Andress as the beautiful Aphrodite? The 1981 film was known for its unique special effects including giant scorpions that emerged from a few drops of Medusa's blood. With a good budget they could do much more with today's advanced special effects technology.
