The Gods are cast for CLASH OF THE TITANS!
Speaking from a career point of view (and I'm not being insensitive, what happened to Liam Neeson last month was a travesty and I can't imagine what he is going through right now), but as we are a film site, we study his career and from a personal point of view as a film fan, the tragedy came just as Neeson was getting his career back on track. His role in Taken had shown that he was still bankable and that he was no longer pandering and wasting his time waiting for Spielberg to make Lincoln with him. He decided to move on and find some challenging roles for himself, making himself interesting for the first time in four years. Now Variety's wording is unclear this morning, so I'm not sure if this deal for Neeson came before last month or not, but this is a sign of where his career was heading before tragedy hit in March. The trades say he is/or was in talks for the role of Zeus in Louis Letterier's remake of Clash of the Titans.
