Warner Bros. Pictures has hired screenwriter Travis Beacham to write the remake of CLASH OF THE TITANS.

The 1981 film starred Harry Hamlin, Laurence Olivier, Claire Bloom, Maggie Smith, Ursula Andress, Jack Gwillim, Susan Fleetwood, and Burgess Meredith. TITANS also featured the stop motion animation work of Ray Harryhausen, who did the special effects for the movie.

The action-adventure-fantasy story revolves around Perseus (Hamlin) searching for Medusa's head so he can stop the monsterous Kraken and save Princess Andromeda from being sacrificed to the creature.

Thunder Road Pictures' Basil Iwanyk will produce.

This is one of those movies that modern special effects and CGI could really do some justice to.

While the movie was quite corny, I could actually see this being done right. Will probably still be corny, but hope they go more serious, like the original tried to do, and not go Resident Evil.

This Beachman fella has two screenplays under is credit only, but two that look interesting (and good), so perhaps there is hope.

Grrrrr.. Remakes.

Just another pointless remake , nothing wrong with the original film.

Cant argue with ya there, maybe the updated effects would be cool, but do we really need another Clash of the Titans?

A timeless tale, and actually, a real hidden gem of a film.

I don't know if we need a re-make.
