Clash Of The Titans Trailer Debuts!

You know what this morning needs? Giant scorpions and rock music, that's what. So it is with immense joy that we can bring you the Clash of the Titans teaser trailer, delivering both in a veritable rock-and-scorpion cornucopia - with a side-order of Sam Worthington making leather mini-skirts look manly.

Worthington, of course, plays Perseus, the demi-god son of Zeus (Liam Neeson) who's pissed off at Daddy and determined to both thwart his plans and rescue a princess, Andromeda (Alexa Davalos) who's going to be sacrificed to the monstrous Kraken. He does this by taking on a succession of different monsters in order to prepare for the Kraken.

Of course, you're not going to get any of that from this teaser. What you'll get here is a)anger; b)rawk; c)people running; d) giant freakin' scorpions; e)swordplay; f) screaming; g) Neesom getting cross; h)Worthington staying cross; i)giant freakin' scorpions. It's probably fair to say that this will be considerably faster paced than the Ray Harryhausen and Desmond Davis 1981 original.

Clash of the Scorpions Titans is out on March 26, 2010, and we'll hopefully get a full trailer with actual, y'know, plot and dialogue sometime around Christmas.

No need to get hung up about the giant scorpions; I'll agree there was a lot of them but there was also a little bit of sex ... Read More

looks absolutely soulless. and with an aesthetic (sic?) that is borrowed from LOTR/300 et al, guess being soulless they couldn't create something new. and the music on the trailer..ugh! ... Read More

Looks good!
After reading the feature on this movie in the magazine, i wasn't too fussed but I just watched this trailer 4 times in a row and it looks incredible. Although it's only a teaser so it might not be as good as it does here, I am going to re-read that article and see this film when it comes out in all of its giant-scorpion glory ... Read More

It's a TEASER trailer, folks. Not the real thing
What else do you expect from a teaser? It had Perseus, the scorpioks, Pegasus, Medusa, Zeus, Hades, Sheik Suleiman, Andromeda being sacrificed to the Kraken, Calibos. Io, Prokopion (leader of the Zealots), a rocking soundtrack, some great visuals and Pete Poselthwaite. What more could you wish for? Granted the 'Titans Will Clash' tagline was a little... 'meh', but other than that it does exactly what it says on the tin. Go back and look at other 'teasers' and see which ones give you so much in s... Read More

RE: It's a TEASER trailer, folks. Not the real thing
I cannot believe the negativity over a TEASER?!! yes I have fond memories over the original (though I preferred Jason), but the teaser pushed all the right buttons for me. It shows just enough to pique interest and the Rock track is fine... The full trailer may well use the movie's soundtrack or it may not, I care not.. but what it will do is then show us what to truly expect in terms of characters and dialogue. Until then I am finding this trailer FUN (which is what all films b... Read More
