I used to love Greek Mythology, still do actually.
So yesterday while snowed in at home, I sat down and watched one of my all-time favorite movies: 1981′s Clash of the Titans. The flick, full of old school heavy hitters like Burgess Meredith, Dame Maggie Smith, and Laurence Olivier tells the tale of the Greek hero Perseus and his many conquests. Its all there: Zeus, Mt. Olympus, Medusa, Pegasus – heaven for a greek geek like me.
But I digress.
Whenever I’m watching a movie on my computer, I’m bound to wikipedia something about it to learn more. Whether looking up the inspirations behind the movie, fact finding, or reading the plot outline to clear up any questions I might have, I always wiki something! So of course, I looked up “Clash of the Titans,” and what do you know, there’s a remake coming out next year in March!
And then I saw… there’s tons of sequels and adaptations coming out next year, so I thought I’d post a few.
“Clash of the Titans” – Releasing March 26, 2010
“Robin Hood” – Releasing May 14, 2010
Ridley Scott [the producer of Gladiator] teams up with Russel Crowe again [with Hollywood gold Cate Blanchett] for the remake.
“Shrek Forever After” – Releasing May 21, 2010
[The final installment of the most successful animated franchise ever].
“Prince of Persia: Sands of Time“ – Releasing May 28, 2010
[Screen adaptation, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, of the very popular game franchise.]
May 2010 is going to be poppin!
AR!

OH WOW! Didn’t know the Robin Hood trailer was already released.
I cant believe you have only just now heard of the Clash of the Titans remake. I swear its been everywhere with teasers and posters.
However, i think 2009′s summer (for the US) is fairly hard to match. Even if some blockbusters weren’t critically acclaimed. 2009 has been a very great year financially and critically too, especially this time of the season aswell.
Aussie represent with Cate & Russell. We like to stick together. Hugh and Nicole. Shout out to Naomi and the legend of Geoffrey.
OH btw.. i thought they decided that they will do 5 Shreks PLUS a spin-off of Puss’n Boots? I didn’t think they settled of 4 Shreks and the 5th is Puss. Disappointed there.
