Clash of the Titans Remake

[Fresh Prince]

The titan Cronus. Zeus overthrew him and imprisoned him in Tartarus.

Wow what he sent his pops to hell for.

 

[Ratcrawler]

The bad blood between Hades & Zeus stems from the fact that Hades was the eldest male (and thus felt as though he should have gotten godhood of the sky) but was rescued from daddy's stomach by the youngest god, Zeus. Because of that, they agreed to draw straws, along with Poseidon, over who got which domain. So Zeus basically got the penthouse suite and Hades got stuck in the basement with a bunch of ghosts.

 

[Raiden]

Yeah Zeus is kind of a *****e.

He shags different women left and right and gets pissed off a lot.

Well, all the Greek gods pretty much shag left and right, not just Zeus. Except for Artemis and Athena, that is.

 

[Ratcrawler]

Athena was a cold ***** though. Transfoming poor loyal Medusa into a gorgon...because she got raped by Poseidon.

 

[Ratcrawler]

Oh did anybody find out what the teaser song is called?

Oh did anybody find out what the teaser song is called?

Get an iPhone! Get an application called Shazam! Play the trailer hold the iPhone up and use the app after 2 seconds of listening the program will find the track for you.

Peace

 

[Ratcrawler]

Ok, just found it. The bird & the worm by The Used...

But still why Zeus send his dad to hell?

 

[John Locke]

His dad ate his sibilings and tried to eat Zeus.

If you desire a religion where you can shag everything on the dirt, then Greek is the way to go.

 

[Fresh Prince]

WOW!....Thats what I call a F up family....Similar to Leatherfaces in the movies....cannibals, crazy, *****e bags.

 

[Ratcrawler]

LOL yeah, I thought I was pretty clear when I said was rescued from daddy's stomach but there you go. The Greeks were generally pretty appalled by cannibalism.

But fun fact; the eldest Greek god was actually the relatively obscure goddess Hestia (goddess of homes and indoor heating) who was also the last to be freed from Cronus' stomach. This made her the oldest AND youngest of the original 6 gods. (The others being Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera & Demeter)

Note how many critics of the trailer talk about the 80's mullet-rock (whatever that is) or Metal that is in the trailer...and it turns out the band doing the music are one of the poster boys of emo.

 

[Ratcrawler]

Yeah, nobody really knew what to call the score, huh?

 

[Ratcrawler]

Oh ****! That WAS Pegasus running on the beach!

 

[Heretic]

I recognized the song as soon as I heard it. I kind of wish that Coheed And Cambria's more epic sounding "Welcome Home" hadn't already been used by 9 recently.

I feel like Clash Of The Titans deserves something really epic sounding. Classical music, while awesome, doesn't fit the atmosphere of ancient myths (and for the love of Zod, save Carmina Burana for the you-know-its-coming remake of Excalibur.) I think the public probably isn't smart enough to know that ancient Greeks never listened to Hall Of The Mountain King, but whatever. Savatage did a version of that called "Prelude To Madness" that would work well (and the same band, now called Trans Siberian Orchestra just released a not as good as the original version on their new album).

The perfect modern band for the soundtrack would of course be Manowar or Amon Amarth or something, but both of those bands are really just awful, for different reasons.

Action films have GOT to move past the long dead Nu-Metal genre for it's trailers. Enough bodies have hit enough floors, if you ask me.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

The music reminded me a bit of Queen, y'know, with the Flash Gordon soundtrack it sorta fitted, in a weird way.

But I'm sure we'll get some epic operatic music for the finished article.

 

[Ratcrawler]

It's weird. The more I watch this teaser the more pumped I get for...THOR! Replace the scorpions with frost giants, sPartans with valkyries and swords with hammers and there you have it. lol

Zeus also married his sister, Hera. Yeah, there were incest in the Greek mythology.

 

[That-Guy]

LOL, half of Greek mythology is like a really weird fetish porn.

 

[Abraham]

LOL, half of Greek mythology is like a really weird fetish porn.

Fetish and incest stories also make up most of the Christian bible.

Recently read an early draft of this film (Kasdan version, dated 2007) really really didn't like it. Andromeda is a huge ****, people don't beleive the Gods exist, it read like an episode of Smallville. Hope it has been completely re-worked, until a trailer comes out that makes it clear the script has been drastically changed my interest in this project has dropped from movie I was looking forward to most, to maybe a rental.

 

[Fresh Prince]

So was Hercules the only greek person who was not a *****e and good person?

 

[craigdbfan]

When he got pissed off he got pissed off but he is definitely one of the nicer mythological characters.

He was a big kid at heart often playing with children when he wasn't off doing some task.

 

[Raiden]

Hercules (or Heracles; Hercules was actually his Roman name) was one of the more heroic characters from the Greek mythology, although he has flaws also and not perfect by any means. That's why I like the Greek mythology, because although they were worshipped as gods and had temples built for them, they were actually protrayed as very flawed characters and often made mistakes. That's why they are interesting to read.

Hercules killed his own wife and child (while under some kind of spell though)

also he was a womanizing drunk. Probalby one of the most flawed and assholish of the Greek heroes, he gained redemption of course (well not for womanizing ... the 90's TV series had a funny way of getting around that by having him get captured by a group of Amazon women and learning that woman are humans too, that way the character could begin the series like he is in the mythology but be more accessible to modern audiences, they also changed the way his family died)
