The 1981 mythological fantasy adventure Clash of the Titans is
resurrected in this remake from Incredible Hulk director Louis
Leterrier. Discovered at sea as an infant by a weary fisherman, demigod
Perseus (Sam Worthington) grows up with no real knowledge of his
celestial origins until his watchful guardian, Io (Gemma Arterton),
informs him that he is the offspring of Zeus (Liam Neeson). When Zeus'
brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes) casually wipes out Perseus' family, the
grieving son vows to show
the
gods just what kind of damage humankind can inflict on its creators.
Before long, Perseus and a small group of soldiers are venturing out
into the desert in order to find a way to stop the Kraken, a terrifying
force of nature that an indignant Hades has vowed to unleash upon man
should they fail to offer up beloved princess Andromeda (Alexa Davalos)
as a sacrifice. Along the way, the soldiers encounter a trio of
frightening witches with second sight, contend with Hades' devoted
servant Calibos (Jason Flemyng), battle giant scorpions, and come face
to face with Medusa (Natalia Vodianova), the dreaded gorgon whose gaze
has the power to turn men into stone.
Directed By: Louis Leterrier
