Hardly an INCREDIBLE choice for CLASH OF THE TITANS!

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

I didn't like The Incredible Hulk, bored the shit out of me actually, sorry I never got round to reviewing it but that movie didn't deserve my time or effort. At this point, I don't think Louis Letterier is capable of telling a story, the casting was all off - Norton and Tyler were as vacant together as I've ever seen in a comic book movie. William Hurt gave his worst performance in years, the CGI was terrible, the movie had NO plot. How Letterier got away with making a movie that had no characterisation or logic and made the money he has with the film is beyond me. Yes the action was upped from the last Ang Lee movie and yes the film had a more straight forward narrative but structually it was appaling.

I now fear greatly for CLASH OF THE TITANS, the Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark) written remake at Warner Bros. Louis Letterier is directing according to Variety. The mostly green screen CGI remake is been hyped up by the trade as going head to head with Tarsem Singh's new project WAR OF THE GODS, which we found out about yesterday at Relativity Media. Apparentaly two movies about Greek Mythology that both have extensive chariot race scenes cannot co-exist, so the race is on as to who will be first. Production will begin on WAR OF THE GODS before the end of the year, and presumably TITANS won't be far behind as it's been in development longer and they now have their director.
