Clash of the Titans Teaser Trailer

Published by Jeff Leins on: November 11th, 2009

Warner Bros has released the trailer for Clash of the Titans, a remake under the direction of Louis Leterrier.  Full of guitar riffs (The Used’s “Bird and the Worm”) and quick cuts, the studio is making it clear this won’t be anything like the stop-motion original.  There’s also a Medusa that doesn’t turn a man to stone, high-flying Perseus (sans winged horse), and a Texas-sized scorpion none too happy with the swords and sandal humans.

There’s hardly a mention of it’s cast, which includes Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Gemma Arterton, Ralph Fiennes, Danny Huston, and more.  The CGI scorpion gets top billing, I guess.

Last gripe, what’s with the tag line?  “Titans will clash.”  That’s the best they could come up with?  “Well, the movie is called Clash of the Titans, so we need something catchy and… Oh, Mad Men is on!  Just rearrange the words or something.”

Who knows, maybe you’ll like it.  I’ve been wrong once or twice before.

Clash of the Titans will be in theaters March 26, 2010.
