Clash Of The Titans: the first teaser trailer

Simon Brew


Warner Bros’ big budget new take on Clash Of The Titans arrives next March – and here’s the first proper trailer from it….

Published on Nov 11, 2009

Clash Of The Titans, on paper at least, seems to have all the ingredients for a cracking blockbuster movie. There are swords. There are special effects. There's a classic story at the heart of it. There's Sam Worthington in the lead role. And a sizeable budget behind it all.

The doubt, if we're being honest, is director Louis Leterrier behind the camera. I thought his Incredible Hulk film was perfectly serviceable, but nothing more than that (it doesn't help that I'm one of the 17 people on the planet who loves Ang Lee's version). When he was confirmed as being attached to a Clash Of The Titans remake, my heart wasn't skipping beats, truth be told.

Now, though, we have the very first teaser trailer from the film to feast our eyes on, and even though I warmed to it immediately because of the presence of Pete Postlethwaite, I thought this was a smartly cut trailer, that gets off the screen before you can ask too many questions of it. Granted, Titans Will Clash is as shitty a line as you could probably come up with to promote the film, but hopefully that'll be refined by the time the 26th March release date comes around.

Here's the trailer - see what you think....

Some of it looks interesting, but terrible, terrible music. I'm hoping the 300-esque feel is a betrayal of the actual film.

I hoping it's nothing like the original...which I hated with a passion.

The music is shocking, why do films like this always have to have some sub standard american shit. Dont tell me linken fucking park or papa roach are doing the music. With no sound the film looks passible

Oh, for the days when movies found a nice piece of classical music that had been composed by a master who knew what he (or she, let's be fair) was doing and how to really stir up excitement, rather than asking some sub-par Hollywood composer who cobbles together something bland and musically uninteresting on his computer. Glass and Williams, your breed is dying. *sob* Truly, wretched music. I can think of several Romantic and Modern pieces that would have conveyed a better feel and been less annoying. But then, they wouldn't have had electric guitars, so obviously, they're out.

The line 'titans will crash' was so laughable i actually laughed out loud. I really hope they come up with something better. I thought the music was okay for the fast pace of the trailer but dear god i hope that sorta music isnt in the film itself. Other than that it looks alright. Im looking forward to seeing Neeson as Zeus and seeing what Worthington can do with the whole revenge aspect theyve given Perseus. Unfortunately it does have a bit of a shit stink to it.

The original had some class, but that trailer had none. I really hope like others that the music/feel of the film is not like the trailer.

Will Optimus Prime be in it?

Isn't it time for a backlash against hyper-realistic grimy adventure yarns? Really, adventure, particularly when set in some mythical ancient or Middle Ages world, always looks the same. It was a good idea when the Two Terrys did this back in the 1970s, but can't we please get back a bit of the noblemen's world so wonderfully done by Michael Curtiz and Ray Harryhausen?!

I grew up with the original Harryhausen films and loved them. Wondered how long it would take them to redo them all with whizzy graphics... sigh

Well I watched it-bored beyond belief. Should have made a "God of War" videogame adaption-it'd be hard to tell them apart. That said i hope there's no fuckin pain in the arse clockwork metal owl in this one either....

The effects look good and there not trying to re-invent anything, which works for me. Aside from that you deserve to have your bitch ass kicked all over town for even mentioning the truly awful Ang Lee Hulk film, now how am I supposed to take anything you say seriously!
