We have a new trailer for another long-awaited upcoming genre flick. This time, by way of Peter Hall at Cinematical, we have the remake of the 1981 Ray Harryhausen mythological effects showcase, “Clash of the Titans.” I’ve liked some of director Louis Leterrier’s work and disliked others. (“Unleashed” worked well for me; “Transporter II” drove me out of the theater even though the first film in the series, directed by Hong Kong stand-by Corey Yuen, was a fun guilty pleasure. I was okay with “The Incredible Hulk,” though I’m probably one of the few that actually preferred the Ang Lee attempt.) Overall, I’m not a fan of the kind of cutting and, even more so, the music, we have in the trailer, but otherwise this does look like fairly amusing. There’s a chance you’ll like it more.
And, for comparison, here’s the trailer of the first go-round, which I’ve never actually seen. I’d forgotten it’s such a star-studded affair, though in a budget-conscious kind of a way.
