August 4, 2007 - Clash of the Titans / Script review
Scooped on Sunday, November 9, 2008
A positive script review for Clash of the Titans has appeared over at IESB. The review is of a screenplay dated June 29, 2007 and so it's of the latest draft by Lawrence Kasdan.
The review paints a broad overview of the story's central players and supporting cast as well as lists off what sort of mythological creatures we can expect to see. Those familiar with the original movie will be content to know that the hero Perseus is in it along with other Greek gods and the serpent woman Medusa. However, there does appear to be a fleshing out of the fantastical as the new Clash also includes appearances by Egyptian, Sumerian and Bibical creatures and gods. For example, instead of the Kraken serving as the film's sea monster it's now called Leviathan. Sylphs, nephilim, minotaurs and other new beasts now make appearances. Bubo, the mechanical owl that served as Perseus' companion in the '81 movie is nowhere to be found in this new Clash. Summed up by the IESB reviewer, "This Titan's Clash is closer to Zack Snyder's 300 than to The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad. It's written with a solid R rating in mind with nudity, sex and lots of gore-rific ugly deaths by really bad ass ugly monsters."
