Leaving aside how this trailer for remake of Clash of the Titans makes me think the movie will turn out ("like shit"), I have a question: The slogan for Clash of the Titans is really "Titans will clash"? Really? Anyway, you can watch the trailer for the original below, which is hysterical, although 8-year-old me LOVED that movie. So who knows, maybe the kids today will be down with the new one.

Kids will shrink, honey.
"Laurence Olivier as Zeus. Or King Lear."
True fact: Before the Shawshank Redemption, Clash of the Titans was the only movie shown on cable.
I avoid any film with a trailer narrated by Pete Postelwhaite.
THE KRAKEN! GIVE ME THE EYE!
That is all.
Was Claire Bloom dating Philip Roth when she was in Clash of the Titans? What were those conversations like?
"How big of a plastic snake are they demanding you wrestle?"
Love me some Claire Bloom in 'The Haunting.'
Oh Maggie Smith, you'll always be Jean Brodie to me.
The new one better have a drunk mechanical owl.
Bobo's clean and sober now, knocking the rust off, planning to get back in the studio early next year for a roots album.
"So many women, and all these transformations and disguises he invents in order to seduce them. Sometimes a shower of gold, sometimes a bull or a swan. Why, once he even tried to ravish me disguised as a cuttlefish."
The young Greek mythology nerd in me hated how there were no ACTUAL TITANS in Clash of the Titans. The young Gay in me loved looking at guys in skimpy chitons.
I think most Greeks of the period would have felt about the same on both points.
I have to disagree, swords and sandals and monsters are cool in any era.
Plus Liam Neeson as Zeus. Come on!
It goes without saying, but Lawrence Olivier>>>>>>>Liam Neeson
Hey look, you are right, of course. But Liam Neeson is still a pretty good Zeus.
Plus, I'm a giant fan of Harryhausen, but you know if he had the technology back then he'd be using CGI.
