TODAY’S MAJOR TRAILER #2: WRATH OF THE TITANS

Seems like a mighty strange PR move, to put it out on a day where it will get zero attention. Even just a few days from now it would become an above the fold kind of thing for some movie sites. Why this day? It's not like they could compete pound for pound on hype

What the fuck is the point in putting a song over the trailer if you're going to censor out half the lyrics?

"some of them want youyoeaeah"

"some of them wanna get youoah by you"

"some of them want to abuyeaah"

"some of them want to be abyeahhahhhhhhhh!!!"

Liam Neeson dies in the trailer and it looks like a PS3 cutscene with actors green screened it. Fuck this movie, the first one was beyond horrible in every single way.

I noticed that, I don't even care for the song but that still irked me. Is the original too expensive to license? Because this cover seems like a musical downgrade

Now that this trailer is here, I find myself sincerely surprised this movie exists. It felt like one of those threats a studio would never actually carry out (GREEN LANTERN 2)

PS Neeson died? Or do you just mean he metaphorically died on screen with this trailer?

Pretty sure that's Neeson crumbling to ash at 54 seconds.

Ah I thought that was Alexander Siddig

Conceptually, the film looks pretty nifty but Worthington is such a non-presence, the movie looks like 2 hours of me thinking, "Too bad this isn't a God Of War adaptation. What a waste".

And to think, Worthington may have been Bond.

Good grief.

I think they should just let him use an Australian accent, like Arnold only ever bothered with accented English. The one Australian movie I've seen in which he appears (ROGUE), he was fairly OK and semi charming. Trying to do the Christian Bale accent trick seems to take all his concentration, and it leaves his lines feeling lifeless

I actually miss the anachronistic crew-cut.

But, yes, this does look better than JOHN CARTER (I'm also an apologist for the very-flawed CLASH remake)... and JACK THE GIANT KILLER.

I can't complain about that many flicks with big monsters hitting the screen (SNOW WHITE & THE HUNTRESS too). If only Harryhausen weren't retired.

In a few of those shots Worthington could pass for Kenny Powers. 

Looks like cheap shit.

Worthington looks like Jeff Kober in this footage.

Holy shit, yes.

That "What am I meant to do?" expression with the head and shoulder shakes is just weirdly coy for a kickass action hero half-god.

Holy shit, he looks like Kenny Fuck'n Powers.

Yeah, he's totally Kenny Powersed up to the gills.

Half gods have gills, right?

I'll watch this for Rosamund Pike. But i am not expecting much.

If CLASH hadn't been so horribly boring and thinly written, I'd be pretty excited about this. Unless critical mass is really positive, this'll be a rental blu for me (because I remain a sucker for big mythic monsters). I do like that this one looks like it's more fantastic than the first one (which, to be fair, was more fantastic than its trailers indicated; I still like wooden Chewbacca!).

Well, the creature designs -- one of the best aspects of the first film, "Wooden Chewbacca" included -- do indeed look even better, especially the glimpses at the very beginning.  Aside from that, though, I'm not seeing any other reasons to watch the film after the disaster of the first one...for now.  As they were before, the characters and filmmaking outside of the designs don't impress me too much.

No sir, I don't like it.

1000x better than the Jack the Giant Killer trailer, that's for fucking sure.

It isn't? They seem to have given away all pretense of basing these movies on some of the greatest stories ever told and are now simply making what appears to be a fucking video game.

So disappointing, yet I'm such a fucking junkie for swords, sandals and greek myth that I'll still go and see this fucking thing.

Shame we can't have Mads Mikkelson and Liam Cunningham back, they were the only good things about the first piece of shit.

If that is Neeson crumbling to ash it's a shame they don;t steal from Disney's Hercules and have him encased in lava then froze.

Missed opportunity.

Still haven't seen the first one, after horrendous word of mouth, but this looks disposable watchable. 

uh...shiny? yea..lets go with that.

Just wanted to say that Worthington's delivery struck me as a bit odd too

Trailer looks solid. For a Clash of the Titans sequel directed by Jonathan Liebesman.
