Seriously, what's up with Sam Worthington's hair in that poster? (Remember the line in Steel Magnolias about the "brown football helmet"? No? Trust me it's in there.) Anyway, whatever is on Perseus' head looks a bit…bouffant. I hope it's a trick of photoshop since I'm pretty sure the ancient Greeks didn't have AquaNet. But as usual, I digress. 

We have new pics from Wrath of the Titans, the sequel to 2010’s Clash of the Titans, featuring star Sam Worthington who reprises his role as Perseus. He’s promised not to suck in this one.  We also have some scans including first looks at Edgar Ramirez as Ares and Toby Kebbell as Argenor plus Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes who return as Zeus and Hades. Set ten years after the events of Clash…, the film revolves around Perseus and his relationship with both his son, Helius and his father, Zeus.

The synopsis:

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.

I’m guessing they’ll save mankind so that some angry God or Gods can threaten it again in Something of the Titans 3

Wrath of the Titans opens, in the prerequisite 3D of course, in the US, Canada and the UK on March 30, which is not far away at all. Stay tuned. Enjoy the pics courtesy of LatinoReview via HeyUGuys and the scans courtesy of Empire via ComicBookMovie)

We have a boatload of new images from Asger Leth's Man on a Ledge starring Sam Worthington. Summit really wants us to see this thing. While I still say that this bears a great deal of resemblance to F. Gary Gray's under-rated, The Negotiator, (some have compared it to Joel Schumacher’s Phone Booth, but I don’t see it) complete with Elizabeth Banks (in the Kevin Spacey role) being asked to believe in Worthington's innocence, my motto is “there’s nothing new under the sun. It’s all in the delivery”. So I think this could be a lot fun. Of course, whatever's going on with Jamie Bell and his crew is the real hook. It looks like a solid B-movie to munch popcorn to and that’s pretty good for a January release, imho.

Synopsis: An ex-cop (Worthington) and now wanted fugitive stands on the ledge of a high-rise building while a hard-living New York Police Department negotiator (Banks) tries to talk him down. The longer they are on the ledge, the more she realizes that he might have an ulterior objective.

Man on a Ledge is director Leth's feature debut and stars Worthington, Banks and Bell along with Anthony Mackie, Edward Burns (who does this stuff to finance his own fantastic films), William Sadler, Kyra Sedgwick​ and Ed Harris​ (looking particularly creepy). It opens in theaters January 27 in the US and the UK.

We just brought you the first trailer for Wrath of the Titans, the sequel to 2010’s Clash of the Titans, the week before Christmas. Today we have, thanks to Warner Brothers, ten new hi-res stills and four monster character posters to share! Two reasons to be hopeful about this film: One, that first trailer made the thing appear to be miles ahead of its predecessor. Starting with Liam Neeson’s voice as Zeus giving his half human son Perseus (Sam Worthington) some fatherly advice was a good idea, so was using Marilyn Manson’s cover of the Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams”.  Two, the movie was filmed in 3D as opposed to the (terrible) post-conversion done to the 2010 film. I don’t think I’ll ever be fully on board the 3D bandwagon, but if you’re going to do it, do it right.

Synopsis:

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus (Worthington) –the demigod son of Zeus (Neeson)–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 (Fiennes) and Poseidon (Danny Huston). 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 Ramirez), switch loyalties 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.

Bill Nighy!Toby Kebbell! (last seen as one of the humans given a few minutes of screen time in that saccharin-infused War Horse. Spoiler: the horse stole the movie from every one of them) Edgar Ramirez! Ok, ya got me. I’ll pay to see Edgar Ramirez in 3D. Oh yeah, and the monsters look really cool too.

Wrath of the Titans, directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Battle Los Angeles, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) is unleashed March 30 in the US and the UK. Much more to come in the next three months I’m sure. Enjoy the new pics!

This first trailer for Wrath of the Titans, the sequel to 2010’s Clash of the Titans, (itself a remake of the 1981 version) makes the film appear to be miles ahead of its predecessors. Starting with Liam Neeson’s voice as Zeus giving his half human son Perseus (Sam Worthington) some fatherly advice was a good idea, so was using Marilyn Manson’s cover of the Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams”.

Synopsis:

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus (Worthington) –the demigod son of Zeus (Neeson)–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 (Fiennes) and Poseidon (Danny Huston). 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 Ramirez), switch loyalties 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.

Directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Battle Los Angeles, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) from a script with four credited writers, although Dan Mazeau seems to be top dog (he’s already at work on the third in this franchise), Wrath of the Titans is unleashed March 30 in the US and the UK.

We have new images to share from a lot of films you’ll be hearing more about in the new year, from the just announced Sundance line-up there’s Lay the Favorite with Bruce Willis, Catherine Zeta Jones and Rebecca Hall, Celeste and Jesse Forever with Andy Samberg, Rashida Jones and Elijah Wood and Goats with Vera Farmiga, David Duchovny and Ty Burrell.

“An adventurous young woman (Hall) gets involved with a group of geeky older men who have found a way to work the sportsbook system in Las Vegas to their advantage.”

“Celeste and Jesse (Jones and Samberg) met in high school, married young, and at 30, decide to get divorced but remain best friends while pursuing other relationships.”

 “Ellis (Graham Phillips) leaves his unconventional desert home to attend the disciplined and structured Gates Academy. There, he re-connects with his estranged father (Duchovny) and for the first time questions the family dynamics.”

We have first looks at Sam Worthington in Wrath of the Titans, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill in Neighborhood Watch as well as Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner in Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.  That one is definitely on my list for 2012. This one seems more in line with “Grimm” than “Once Upon a Time” if you get my drift. The cast includes Famke Jenssen and Peter Stormare with a script by Dante Harper and Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola making his English language debut.

The film uses the original Brothers Grimm tale as the jumping off point.

“15 years after their traumatic gingerbread-house incident, siblings Hansel and Gretel have become a formidable team of bounty hunters who track and kill witches all over the world.”  Oh yes. I’m there.

“Perseus (Worthington) embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, who has been targeted for capture by his traitorous son, Ares, and his brother, Hades.”

“Suburban dads form a neighborhood watch group to get time away from their families, only to discover a plot to destroy Earth.”

Enjoy the pics!
