12 clips from Clash of the Titans

[retro_eidas]

I realize they probably deviated little from the original plot (despite the lack of Bubo BOO HISS!!), but I guess they're saving nothing for the theater then? This looks terrible, but my love of big cheesy fantasy swordfighting, I'll probably be buying this DVD anyway and it will sit between the original CotT and "Krull" on my DVD shelf.

Also, damn my girlcrush on Gemma Arterton. I think I'm already shipping Perseus/Io. *facepalm*

I haven't seen the original since I was a kid but I am looking forward to seeing this new version. I'm a sucker for any movie set in Ancient times (or any historical period, for that matter). :) Every time I see the previews it seems like the guys are all overdressed for Ancient greece... though better that than they go the "300" route, I guess. :)

I don't quite get the "Io" character (how does she relate to Perseus?)--but from the clips she looks awesome!

They are overdressed and Sam Worthington's hair is all wrong, but you let things slide when they're fighting sea monsters and facing down eyeless, cannibal witches for advise. lol

In the mythos, she's his great(-great-great...)-grandmother, but will they adhere to that in this version? *shrugs* Though even if that were the case, it's not like those Greek gods didn't get incesty from time to time. Heh. ;)
