Jonathan Liebesman has signed to direct Clash Of The Titans 2 in Proper 3d this time. Sam Worthington and Gemma Arterton are expected to return for this one.
The remake was bad compared to the original which wasn't Harryhausen's crowning moment IMO.
But where will the story go?... According to the myths, using the Medusa's head during the wedding on Phineas to turn him into stone and creating a race of serpents from the blood of Medusa might work. but this would entail acting, a good script and pretty good direction.....I am not convinced

You're not really expecting it to be good or make sense are you?
Liam Neeson has confirmed that he will reprise his role as Zeus. Neeson claims that it's currently on a 10th draft and will begin shooting next March, promising "some kick-ass stuff and a very human story to it."
dont make me laugh, wasted my money to watch the first one and now expecting me to do it again..
have to agree.. LOVED the harryhausen movie and all it needed was an effects upgrade with some newer action but they absolutely hacked it to death, i wont be going to see this, perhaps catch it on repeat on Ch 5 one sunday if i cant quite reach the remote.....
Actress Rosamund Pike is in negotiations for the role of Andromeda in Wrath of the Titans. She will be replacing Alexa Davalos, who played the same Andromeda role in Louis Leterrier's Titans.
Have to put my hands up and say I liked the first one.
There were Titans, they clashed. End of.
I also have no love whatsoever for the original, so that helps, I suppose.
The original film is beloved by some (including me). Sure, it has some terrible 1980's casting, a cheesy plot and it faffs about all over the place, but it's still enormously enjoyable. The FX work has dated badly in some places but the whole Medusa sequence is stunning - pisses all over the remake.

Plot;
Quote:
A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.
Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.

The sequel is still to be released (currently in post production and due next March). Reports are saying that the studio are already working on another sequel with Dan Mazeau and David Leslie Johnson (who wrote the second film 'Wrath of the Titans').
Insiders say that Agenor, a sidekick-like character played by Toby Kebbell,
may also figure into the new story, as the second movie leaves the door open for the character’s return
