This news has been floating around the web for a while. But it has just been confirmed that Steve Norrington is in fact directing the upcoming remake of the Ray Harryhausen film Clash of the Titans. According to Variety, the project is being produced by Warner Brothers and Legendary Films.

In the original, Harry Hamlin starred as Perseus, a mortal who, due to the interference of the mighty God Zeus (Laurence Olivier), found himself in the city of Joppa, far away from his island home. There, he falls in love with Andromeda (Judi Bowker), an imprisoned princess. To free her, win her hand, and thus half of the kingdom, Perseus solves a riddle, but Joppa's enraged ruler orders Andromeda to be fed to the Kraken, a towering sea monster that's the last of the powerful Titans.

Production is set to start next year.

THIS IS FOR:

Clash of the Titans is a 1981 fantasy and mythology movie based on the myth of Perseus.

Stop motion animation is used to a large extent in the film to animate the various monsters. The special effects creatures were created by Ray Harryhausen, who retired from filmmaking shortly after the movie was released.
Harry Hamlin - Perseus
Maggie Smith - Thetis
Ursula Andress - Aphrodite
Laurence Olivier - Zeus
