Clash of the Titans
WTF? No seriously, I mean, What. The. Fuck.
Steve Norrington will direct Clash of the Titans, a remake of the 1981 mythical adventure that is best remembered for Ray Harryhausen's special effects, Variety reported.I have fond memories of Clash of the Titans, not least because it was the first flick I saw on cable when I was eleven or twelve and it featured some nice glimpses of nudity, but I'm well aware of its shortcomings. But still, why remake a Harryhausen movie? And if you must remake a Harryhausen movie, why for the love of god give it to this guy to do? What, because "LXG" did so well critically and commercially?
Norrington hasn't directed a film since 2003's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.Gee, I wonder why...

I think I'm going to be ill. Seriously. I've known TPTB have (foolishly) wanted to remake this for a while, but dude, I assumed they didn't want it to totally suck. What, they want Perseus to tool around in a tricked out gyrocopter or something?
Ugh.
I can see remaking a HH movie (with the appeal of today's CGI). Wrong director for the project by far, though.

I went to the cinema to see the Ray Harryhausen with my dad when I was eight, just him and me while my mum and sister went shopping. I don't think I had much of a clue what was going on, but it's a fond childhood memory. Just say NO to the remake!
