Clash of the Titans remake director


From filmstalker, The Clash of the Titans remake has a director, and frankly it's a bit of a surprise and promises that the film is going to be filled with huge amounts of action and some big set pieces. It also suggests that there's going to be way more CGI than stop motion.

Lawrence Kasdan is the writer responsible for the script for this remake, and that's good news I reckon since he has The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Body Heat, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Big Chill, Silverado, Wyatt Earp and...oh...Dreamcatcher.

So who's the director? Well it's none other than Louis Leterrier. Yes, that's rather an odd choice. While Kasdan is filled with action-adventure, Leterrier is, well you could argue the same actually, however The Transporter, Transporter 2, The Incredible Hulk and Danny the Dog are a bit of a different take on the genre.

The story comes from Variety through Coming Soon.

I don't know if this means we're heading for a Clash of the Titans filled with CGI and martial arts fight scenes, but it's certainly going to have action, adventure, and more action.
