The remake of “Clash of the Titans” is poised to be one of the biggest blockbusters of 2010 and Cinematical went on set to talk to director Louis Leterrier about what audiences can expect from the new movie, and how it will differ from the classic original.
“I love the original film,” Leterrier claims. “Just like you guys, I grew up watching this movie. I think I saw it before “Star Wars”, so this was like my first, like, “Wow!” experience, you know what I mean? So I didn’t just want to do it like the same but just different, so the only way was to make it mine… was really to make it personal, therefore to rewrite the screenplay… I could incorporate in my vision of the film and then change the rest… And then thinking about it as more than just one movie, you know, creating a universe, creating something that can expand and have small relationships that can bloom or get complicated.”
Leterrier also says that if the film does well, and the inevitable sequel beckons, he would “love to” be involved. “I mean, even if it’s like a moderate success, we already have the sequel in my head, because when we started the movie, I always thought the story could, this was a little bit too small for a single movie, because it has so many characters and they’re so intriguing and I wanted to know more. So I wrote a big, long storyline.”
