‘Titans’ find Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes

I’m like a little kid in a candy store today… no idea why? Then again, it may be due to the fact that I’m super-stoked about this remake of ‘Clash of the Titans’ that is in the works.

I know, odd to hear that coming from me, right? Especially since I love the Ray Harryhausen movies, such as the original 1981 version of ‘Clash of the Titans’. So, here’s even more good news about the project that further explains why I’m so excited.

Actors Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes have signed on for roles in the remake. Let me repeat, NEESON and FIENNES! The two legendary and very talented veteran thespians will play rival Gods at war. [i think i may have just peed myself. not really, but that’s how cool this is.]

Liam Neeson will rule as Zeus, King of the Gods and father to Perseus (Worthington). Ralph Fiennes, who is actually still in talks, would play Hades, ruler of the underworld and brother to Zeus. Hades plots to overthrow Zeus for power over the Gods.

The Warner Brothers/Legendary Pictures co-production is being directed Louis Leterrier, who has impressed me so far with ‘Transporter 2’ and ‘Incredible Hulk’. Sure, ‘T2’ is not the most beloved of the trilogy, but it’s still a gosh darn fun movie!

Oh yeah, and if that wasn’t enough for you to get all hot and bothered about, did I forget to mention Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back) wrote the script? The cast also includes Gemma Arterton,
Alexa Davalos, Mads Mikkelsen
