Everybody knows that the 1980s movie, by special effects genius-of-his-time Roy Harryhausen isn’t that great. The effects were a bit dated, the acting sucked, and it basically looked liked a Greek version of the Flash Gordon movie (another movie which I’ll be talking about in a later post). But, from the pit of bad movie Hades (pun intended, sorry) comes a remake. That’s right, somebody dug up the old movie and put in a bit of grime, gore, and excellence into a remake that will most definitely, even if it sucks, be better than it’s predecessor. First of all, it’s directed by Louis Leterrier, the guy who brought us the Incredible Hulk last year. So you can probably imagine how awesome this one’s going to be. It features Sam Worthington as Perseus, “born of a god, raised as a man” (I don’t wanna hear any crap of how they’re messing with mythology. It’s mythology for a reason) who is trying to prevent a war between Zeus (played by Liam Neeson, which is awesome as crap) and Hades (played by Ralph Fiennes, which is also awesome as crap). So yeah, it doesn’t sound like a whole lot of Titans are involved, but come on, we’ve got a while ahead of us before we start seeing anything major anyway. But, just so it lives up to it’s name, here’s a teaser for the movie.
Btw, if you want the original on DVD, you can grab it here! Remember, buying things from here is what keeps this website going!
OOH! Liam Neeson cinches the deal for me. I haven’t seen the original, but I WILL see this. lol.
Everyone should watch the original first. Pretty sure this one has most nothing to do with the original, but it’s a must-see classic.
liam neeson rules!
