10 Worst Films Adapted From Black List Screenplays

10. Clash Of The Titans

If ever there was a movie that proved fancy CGI can’t make up for an otherwise mind-numbingly bad film, it’s Louis Leterrier’s 2010 Clash of the Titans remake. It’s been called an ‘affectionate remake’ by some but if the degree to which the remake deviates from both the original 1981 movie and the Greek mythology that inspired it, scriptwriter Travis Beacham’s affections must be fickle.

Perhaps its unimaginative tagline ‘Titans will clash’, which is basically the title slightly reworded, should’ve been an indication of what to expect because behind all the CGI and 3D shizzle Clash of the Titans is really just one hundred-odd minutes of cheesy dialogue and stilted acting, topped off with an anti-climactic appearance of the most legendary of all mythical sea monsters, the Kraken.

Stick to Desmond Davis’s original. The then ground-breaking effects might look dated and quaint, but it is a fun watch – something the remake could never claim to be.
