Epic Greek Mythology Remakes at War …

While I’m not one to get caught up in the hype of these Hollywood remake and resurgence projects, this new wave of films is getting me a little randy. As a kid, I was fascinated with watching the old Ray Harryhausen films like ‘Clash of the Titans’ so I can’t help but wonder what the technology of our time has to offer.

Well, here’s the newest scoop on this story … and man has it got some punch!

‘Clash of the Titans’

This remake has been tosses around for a few years now, but it seems its more likely than ever to get the full-on greenlight. Warner Bros. has tapped into this re-surging market with the development of a remake. The studio has signed Louis Letterier, the action-friendly director of the ‘Transporter’ films and the recently released and immensely popular ‘Incredible Hulk’ reboot. As if this wasn’t appealing enough, Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back) has written the coveted script for this mighty remake.

‘War of Gods’

Having actually beat Warner Bros. out in a bidding war for ‘War of Gods’ Relativity Media will be producing this film that makes ‘Clash’ seem like child’s play. Set in ancient Greece, this film takes place during a massive war whereas Prince Theseus leads mankind in a battle alongside the Greek Gods against evil demons and the gargantuan Titans. Sound good? Yeah, how ’bout adding this in for flavor … Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) is attached to direct this larger-than-life mythological epic.
