I’m personally not too amped about WRATH OF THE TITANS, the sequel to this year’s woeful CLASH OF THE TITANS remake; I thought the first was a clumsy, tone-deaf mess. The flick made almost $500 million worldwide, after all; they’re not not going to make a sequel. I guess, if nothing else, they can seek to improve on the mistakes they made the first time around (like not shooting in 3D, which Sam Worthington promises will be rectified this time around).
Liam Neeson, who played Zeus in the first film, recently revealed that filming was set to begin in March of 2011; now we know when the world will get to see it: According to Box Office Mojo, WRATH OF THE TITANS will come out on MARCH 30, 2012. As the first one held a similar date – it hit on April 2nd – it’s obvious that Warner Bros. is hoping for another opening weekend gross of $60+. Why mess with a “good” thing?
Worthington and Neeson return for the sequel, but no one else is confirmed. It’s perhaps safe to assume that Ralph Fiennes will return as that villainous Hades, and it would be nice to see the Kraken once again, if only to actually do something this time around…
