Sam Raimi Offered "Clash Of The Titans" Remake

[pixletwin]

If they do go forward, I really hope they don't go for an 'R'. I'd like to be able to see it too.

RoboDad are you LDS too?


just askn.

I can respect Harryhausen for doing the best he could with the technology available at the time. However even as a small child I thought the stop motion stuff looked cheesy and fake. I'll take a Jurassic Park T-Rex over the Kraken any day.

This is why Darklord Dave sucks.

No Dave!! Harryhausen is a pioneer and a legend, no way JP T-Rex tops the Kraken, he was decades ahead of his time in terms of his stop-motion work and it is still awesome to this day!!

Yes he was a pioneer in the 50's and 60's. But by the time CotT came out, this was old hat. I guess you can put in the same category of cool as JatA but remember, this came out the same time as Empire Strikes Back and E.T. Which makes it really quite dated IMO.

Sorry my Kurgan brothers if what I say displeases, but I just calls em like I see em.

Are LDS not allowed to see R-rated movies?

Actually, I find a lot of modern CGI just as "fake" looking and distracting as any stop-motion.

Sure, some of the FX in "Clash of The Titans" are jarring... but no moreso than stuff like in "Ghost Rider", "Spider-Man" or you name it.

Yes. If we do a baby dies somewhere.

The church leadership advises its members to avoid R rated movies. There is no "rule" per se. I am a Kurgan though, so rated R is kind of required as a rule.

My Mother used to tell me how back when she was kid, the Catholic church frowned upon its members seeing "B rated" movies. I think you went straight to hell if you saw an X.

What happens if you see uninspired remakes by hack directors that couldn't find an original movie idea even to preserve the sanctity of their virgin a**???

They make you become an alterboy.

There shall be NO Clash of the Titans remake.

I wouldn't mind a R rated remake by Raimi. The original film has a fond place in my childhood, my favorite Fantasy film growing up. The original still exists so if the new one is sh#t, I can always watch the original instead and forget a remake was ever made.

 

[dekadentdave]

There shall be NO Clash of the Titans remake.

Amen. Holier words cannot be spoken.

You are wise beyond your posts Devilof76

Yep, I am.

Wait...beyond my posts?

Oh. You mean beyond what could be assumed from my grand total of 103, right?

I love Clash of the Titans. As far as I'm concerned, the story has been told. There are a thousand other Greek stories out there so there's no excuse for rehashes. Except for laziness. Or opportunism.

Hearing about this makes me think of the people who are planning to remake Star Wars in 20 years. :emperor

 

[Anzik]

Yeah why don't they do something that hasn't been done yet, like Heracles or something.
