Sam Worthington on Clash of the Titans 2 and Avatar's re-release
"Clash 2 I think we start shooting early next year and it was be 3D this time. Shot in 3D. Do put that in and make them f--king aware," he said.
He also spoke out on the 3D conversion process of the first film, Clash of the Titans, which he wasn't terribly fond of.
"The movies always change," Worthington told us. "It suddenly became a rolling, runaway train in some parts. In regards to the conversion, I'm a Jim Cameron boy, so people know my opinions."
Worthington also said he didn't really have any updates on Avatar 2 at the moment.
"Avatar 2 will be whenever Jim decides to write it. I think he's in Thailand at the moment or trying to save the gulf. But I'm sure he's going to put pen to paper soon."
He was also asked about the extended edition of Avatar, which we announced yesterday will be in theaters on August 27. Here's what he had to say about the new re-release and more on Clash of the Titans 2 as well.
Can you talk about the additonal eight minutes that will be in the theatrical release?
Sam Worthington: I wish we added eight hours. I think the first cut I saw was about six hours long.
Do you know what's in the additional eight minutes?
Sam Worthington: No, I don't. He hasn't told us. There's a couple of extra hunting scenes. There's a much-speculated and blogged sex scene everyone keeps f--king harping on about. To be honest, I think everyone's going to be disappointed that's it's not blue porn.
They're making that.
Sam Worthington: Yeah. But there's a lot of other character parts. Giovanni [Ribisi] stuff and Stephen Lang stuff. So it's up to Jim. I know Jim would only release it if it enhanced the story by putting it back in.
Is there more stuff on Earth?
Sam Worthington: Yeah there is. We shot all that. When we first saw all that, it didn't [work]. You just want to get to the planet. It's kind of a slow burn. Jim always wanted it to be a slow burn start so that you would adjust to your eyes and adjust the world, but it because too much of slow burn. It was like, "hurry the f--k up, man."
How involved are you going to be in shaping Clash of the Titans 2 now that you're in a much stronger position?
Sam Worthington: Well, I do that a lot anyway, trying to put a stamp on it. Whether it's the right idea or not, it's up to them in the end. When I read Clash 2, they came to me the other day. I said, "I kinda dig where it's going, but can we make the character more of this? Can we make it more of that? Can I get to play a lot more and get involved and have a lot more f--king fun than just being a young man who has to stand there and look pretty?" I'm sick of doing that, so it's kind of a case of, "How do we make Perseus a lot more fun?" So we're sort of shaping it down that track. And Warner Bros. has been nice enough to give us a bit on input.
Be sure to check back in the near future for the full interview with Sam Worthington, Michael Schwarz and John Schwarz about their imprint deal with Radical Studios in the very near future.

I went to see Clash of the Titans when it came out. It was fun and Sam was great. It was a popcorn movie, what do you expect? I saw the first one with Harry Hamlin when it came out and I like the new Sam Worthington one better. The reason they will make a sequel is because it did really well (mostly internationally) and people, like me (tasteless idiots? LOL), will pay to see it.

I'm looking forward to seeing anything Sam Worthington is in. He's a really good actor with great screen presence. I am also grateful he likes to work so hard, so I get to see more movies with him in them making them better!

I'll check out Clash 2, and if they're doing 3D at least they're shooting it that way.

Man, why are they even making another Clash of the Titans? That's so stupid. That's that crap I'm talking about. The sequel will probably be worse than the first, and twenty thousand years from now, they'll screw up the remake of that one too.LOL

Oh and I really don't care about a sequel to Clash of the Titans, never even bothered watching the first because it looked horrible. Then once the terrible reviews started flooding in, I was sold on not going.
It might be worth a watch if they got a better director than Louis Lettier (or whatever his last name is), that guy has butchered every movie he's done since the first transporter, and even that wasn't all that great.

He strikes me as too c*cky and arrogant, which makes him unlikeable, for me at least. The funny thing is that he's not even a great actor, just a mediocre one at best. Dozens of actors could have played the roles he's had much better than him.
The one thing he is, which I give him props for, is ambitious. Other than that he doesn't impress me at all.

No, No do not make another Clash of the Titans. I mean the first wasn't horrible, fun movie (nothing that good), but a sequel would be horrible.

I am interest in a Clash 2. The first one was awesome minus the 3D. Which they won't bring back in the second movie. As for Avatar 2, I don't think it will happen honestly. It would cost far to much to make, advertise, and to pay Cameron again. And they have to know a sequel won't make as much as the first one did.

Clash of the Titans 2 isn't necessary. What it needs is a remake...of the remake.

I liked Clash when I saw it but I agree with sam with the 3D conversion it water down the movie. I then saw it in 2D and it was ten times better. Now that their going off on a story that has never been made I would like to see where it would go.

Not interested in a Clash sequel, nor a small extended version of Avatar. And Mr. Worthington throwing out f*ck f*ckity f*cks in all your comments doesn't impress or sell any of this to me.

They need to just release a full uncut version of Avavtar on blu-ray, but Im sure James is just trying to save that for later years so he can make even more money. And if Clash2 -is- happening, hell yeah you better do it right this time! I could not believe the crap they served me on the first one! I still have faith though.
