I recently saw an advertisement for the upcoming Clash of the Titans movie. The original is a personal favorite of mine for I remember watching it quite a bit growing up.
Anyone else interested in watching this movie? The link has some clips and previews, as well as more information.
I've not seen the trailers for new one, but I did love the original. I'm wary of any remakes these days because most of them just rip out everything that made the original so great. I mean they soiled Friday the 13th, they're mangling Nightmare on Elm Street, they're redoing Short Circuit which will most likely bomb, Steven Spielberg bastardized E.T. Lucas defiled Star Wars, and let's face it, it's really only a matter of time before Michael Bay or Uwe Boll get their hands on something truly historic like 2001: A Space Odyssee or A Clockwork Orange, or, god help us, a true classic like Fast Time at Ridgemont High. I pray that Titans holds up to the original in a way that doesn't leave me feeling like a rape victim.
I will have to check it out. I'm with you guys i loved the original and yes das i agree i liked how cheesy they were that's what made them great. As for remakes go i haven't been a fan but for a few.
Short Circuit? Really? Johnny 5 will be played by bender.
I just hope they NEVER remake The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
no disassemble No. 5
It's like how they had to go and make a sequel to Weekend At Bernie's. Why trifle with a classic?? Mannequin 2? Why God?????
I agree with Sol. They will butcher this film and make it all slick and aesthetic and the story will be awful as will the casting. Michael Bay will likely direct it into the ground and I guess Pearl Harbor sucked.....just a little bit more than I miss you.

When I heard it was being made I was VERY excited... Then I found out Michael Bay is directing. Now I am not sure what to think. Oh well, if they fuck it up at least we still have the new Tron to look forward to.
Actually, it was directed by Louis Leterrier: Danny the Dog, Transporter 2, The Incredible Hulk.
I loved the original movie as a kid. Not sure I'll see this one in the theater...just not enough time right now, but if they're able to capture and recreate that sense of adventure...it could be fun.

Definitely looking forward to Tron Legacy as well. I hope they don't screw that one up.
I heard about this remake a few years ago and I was completely against a Hollywood remake of this childhood gem! I kinda warmed up to the idea and thought that maybe those Ray Harryhausen effects deserved an "upgrade". I just hope it won't be the cast of the "The Hills" a la "300" style!!

Duh! Sorry. For some reason I had Clash and him producing Nightmare on Elm Street crossed. Remakes in general scare me. Just have to wait and see...

Yeah...I can't think of any remakes that I've been convinced were really needed or worth watching. Maybe there are some good ones out there that I've forgotten about?

I did like Zombie's Halloween... The first one anyway.
Ah...yeah...I haven't seen those Halloween remakes yet. Definitely a fan of the original one though.
And...looks like Clash didn't turn out all that good...from the LA Weekly:
A decade too old to convincingly be called "boy," Sam "Mr. Greenscreen" Worthington is badly cast as reluctant-demigod Perseus — as was Harry Hamlin in the '81 Clash of the Titans — but the appeal of sumptuous blockbuster Hellenism remains with the Gods (Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades) and their miracles (3-D CGI replacing analog). This Clash provides frequent occasion for awe, as Perseus and company, men in rebellion against the tyranny of Olympus, embark on a tour of hodgepodge theme-park antiquity, rendered in button-by-button detail: I especially liked the warped ferry to Hades, with oarsman Charon replaced by an outboard motor. Transporter director Louis Leterrier is sure-footed when battling Gorgons and giant scorpions, but he muddles the comic-grotesque opportunity of the Stygian Witches. His shopworn "hearty camaraderie" scenes and LOTR helicopter sweeps over exotic terrain don't do much to sway one to the cause of humanity, and the hasty romance will make no heart palpitate. It's not surprising to learn that Clash was converted to 3-D as an afterthought; nothing onscreen justifies wearing dumb glasses — until a certifiably stunning climax, which has you barnstorming, on the back of Pegasus, above and through the streets of a Kraken-besieged city.
