Clash of the Titans Posters/Banners… Now in 3D!

Warner Bros wants audiences to know that Louis Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans remake is being released in digital 3D so they created the “very subtle” new posters and banners to promote the release. Check out the new “The Clash Begins in 3D” advertising art after the jump. Click on the images to enlarge and see the super high resolution digital photo files. Did I mention that Clash of the Titans is now going to be released in 3D?

CLASH OF THE TITANS

In “Clash of the Titans,” the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

“Clash of the Titans” is being directed by Louis Leterrier (“The Incredible Hulk”). Leading the international cast is Australian actor Sam Worthington (“Terminator Salvation,” the upcoming “Avatar”) as Perseus, the mortal son of Zeus, king of the gods. Academy Award® nominee Liam Neeson (“Taken,” “Schindler’s List”) takes on the role of the mighty Zeus, and Academy Award® nominee Ralph Fiennes (the “Harry Potter” films, “The English Patient”) plays the role of Hades, god of the underworld, who feeds on human fear. Rounding out the cast is Gemma Arterton (“Quantum of Solace”) as Io, Perseus’ mysterious spiritual guide throughout his journey; Mads Mikkelsen (“Casino Royale”) as Draco, who takes up his sword to join Perseus’ quest; Jason Flemyng (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”) as Acrisius, a one-time king turned hideous beast; and Alexa Davalos (“Defiance”) as Andromeda, a princess doomed to lose her life if Perseus does not succeed.

“Clash of the Titans” is directed by Louis Leterrier from a screenplay by Travis Beacham (“Dog Days of Summer”) and Phil Hay & Matt Manfredi (“Aeon Flux”), and based on the motion picture “Clash of the Titans,” directed by Desmond Davis and written by Beverley Cross. The film is produced by Basil Iwanyk (“We Are Marshall”) and Kevin De La Noy (“The Dark Knight”). The executive producers are Academy Award® winner Richard D. Zanuck and Legendary Pictures’ Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and William Fay.

The behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Peter Menzies, Jr. (“The Incredible Hulk”); production designer Martin Laing (“Terminator Salvation”); editor Vincent Tabaillon (“The Incredible Hulk”); editor David Freeman (“The Full Monty”); Academy Award®-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (“Topsy-Turvy,” “The Dark Knight”); Oscar®-nominated visual effects supervisor Nick Davis (“The Dark Knight”); Oscar®-nominated prosthetics supervisor Conor O’Sullivan (“The Dark Knight,” “Saving Private Ryan”); Academy Award®-winning special effects and animatronics supervisor Neil Corbould (“Gladiator”); Academy Award®-winning makeup and hair designer Jenny Shircore (“Elizabeth”); and composer Craig Armstrong (“Moulin Rouge!”).

Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Thunder Road Film/Zanuck Company Production, a Louis Leterrier Film, “Clash of the Titans,” opening on April 2nd 2010. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

    "IT'S IN FUCKING 3D, BABY!

    (but wait! come back! it's also in 2D!)"

    Loving it. Just loving it.
  • Okay, still won't be checking it out, even if it's in 3D. Will everbody jump on the bandwagon and will every movie be in 3D now?
  • SgtZim
    Every event movie, most likely. I've heard $5 million thrown around as the cost for converting a movie from 2D to 3D. To a studio, this is a nothing investment compared to all the extra money they believe a 3D release will get them in the end. Financially, it makes sense.

    The COTT director even said a few months back that the movie would NOT be released in 3D. After Avatar cleaned up, the studio immediately changed their minds and pushed the release back. It's a purely financial move for them.
  • YoungZer0
    What really pisses me off about the posters is the line "Also playing in 2D". As if the movie was intended to be in 3D from the get-go.
  • MackeySasser1981
    I bet the 3D will kick @ss...surprising all of us.
  • joker93
    Look at this, they didn't even forget to mention that it's going to play in 2-D too
  • me
    i don't want to come across as some sort of "troll" or "hater", but sam wothington's poses on these poesters look rather embarrassing, don't they?

    "sammy? pretend you're running into a huge battle, okay?" - "oi."
  • you
    We did the same thing in our digital photography classes in high school in front of the green screen. it was the most embarassing thing doing poses in front of the whole class looking like a fool until they saw the final product and what you were going for.
  • papasanchez
    This is NOT the same 3D tech used for avatar. Will check it out but they will probably be handing out those multi coloured specs. That's how bad i expect it to be. Won't be surprised if Louis letterier throws in a couple of 'pointy swords at the screen' re-shoots. Awful!
  • J.H. Lowry
    Regardless of the argument of filming in 3D vs. 3D conversion, why is (stereoscopic) 3D considered to be so much more of an "experience" than 2D? After about ten minutes, the *effect* of 3D wears off.
    This boils down to demand and supply mated with ticket premiums.
  • SgtZim
    It all comes down to the movie. Avatar was about someone visiting an alien world and the audience feeling like we're actually going along with them. The environments were a huge focus in that movie, and the 3D allowed for a more immersive experience. I chuckled at myself during a few of the jungle scenes as I instinctively tried to swat CG flying insects out of my face.

    3D wouldn't have the same effect for a period drama, perhaps, but for certain types of films (if it's handled correctly, as Avatar was), then it definitely ADDS to the experience.

    As far as the 3D effect 'wearing off', it's like anything else you get used to. Plus the usage of 3D in Avatar wasn't the gimmicky, throwing-things-in-your-face-every-two-seconds kind, so it never obnoxiously drew attention to itself.
  • papasanchez
    Good point. I can be engrossed in either format. I think the 3D in avatar was excellent however, on reflection i was more impressed with the graphics than the 3D.
  • Guest
    The elitsts here complaining about the marketing of a movie are allowing said marketing of a movie to affect their opinion before seeing the movie.

    I love the irony; it elucidates their ignorance. Pitiful minds, truly.
  • capawesome
    Elitists? That's a big word for an 8 year old.
  • wiki Pee Day
    Hey, leave david chen alone, he deserves to have an opinion too!!
  • theJOker
    Ohhh, ssssnap.
  • I'll see it in 3D just so I can compare it to "Avatar." And, I'm actually looking forward to this remake, so hopefully I'm not let down too badly.

    Looks like Mr. Worthington is becoming Mr. 3D.
  • theJOker
    If only it was T4-3D.
  • Matthew
    I really hope this movie badly flops. If it does it'll show the studios not to take the audience for granted but then again Transformers 2, New Moon, 2012, Paul Blart. Probably the audience is to blame.
  • capawesome
    The overly-abused Photoshop filters jumped right out and punched me in the face!
  • nindie
    Yeah, nice to see Adobe's new "Orange Blue Contrast" Photoshop plug-in lording it over the Kraken poster
  • Lance_HBomb
    It's beyond cliche now. I won't be surprised if there'll be an indie documentary called 'Orange and Blue' this decade portraying the decline in movie innovation.
  • krackajap
    Now In Technicolor
  • Well I guess that was inevitable given the success of 3D. This is the difference between James Cameron and seemingly the rest of the world, he understands 3D, and the execs simply see it as another way to cash in. It's greatly disappointing.
  • joker93
    JC isn't the only one, guys at Pixar totally understand 3-D too
  • True, and I thought of that as well, but I'd argue that in a way you can't even count Pixar because it's animated, and you can never be taken into the experience of an animated film like you can be taken into Avatar or whatever comes next. I saw the Toy Story 2 conversion to 3D and it's totally apparent they had built that for 3D originally because of the depth in the image in every single frame. But ultimately, it's still a cartoon, and you can only go so far. Maybe I'm wrong, but I could never see myself getting lost in the experience of an animation, whereas I was totally lost in the Avatar world and that experience. So, there's my counterargument, even though I agree Pixar knows how to use 3D well.
  • SgtZim
    Yep, I'm sure they understand the process very well. I'm not sure how they did the Toy Story 2 conversion, but because it's all CG, they could literally have re-rendered the entire film properly with left and right eye, instead of putting it through the crappy 2D to 3D conversion process a live action film would have to go through.
  • SgtZim
    Well yes, because PIXAR films are intended for 3D from the get go, and both eyes are rendered out correctly, the same way Avatar was designed to be 3D and actually shot with a 3D camera.

    This conversion-after-the-fact process is a dog shit cash grab. The 3D is done as an afterthought and it looks terrible compared to the real thing. It's like comparing a B&W movie that's been colorized to a movie that was actually shot in color. Or comparing IMAX to LIEMAX. They want to charge you a premium for an inferior product.
  • YoungZer0
    I'll probably watch it in 2D.
  • freemachine
    It's this kind of shit that gives 3D a bad name. People will be expecting Avatar quality (which Warner is anticipating), but walk out of the theater completely disappointed.
  • Damn, you're so right. The inevitable failure of this 3D conversion could very much hinder the future 3D films of value.
  • Yeah I'm with you on that. Over promoting 3D for a 2D conversion is going to make future 3D promotions (such as Tron Legacy) have less of an impact on the uninformed. I'm not even sure yet that I'll pay the extra ticket price for a fake multi-layered 2D film. Then again, I know I will because I'm a sucker for 'seeing how it turned out'.
