      Really? “Titans will clash!” That’s the best you can do with a movie titled Clash of the Titans? REALLY!?

    2. Hunter November 10th, 2009 at 7:12 pm 2

      Sold. Already in line.

    3. Bill November 10th, 2009 at 7:13 pm 3

      Some of the design looks remniscent of Pan’s Labyrinth.

    4. Seankgallagher November 10th, 2009 at 7:15 pm 4

      Roger Taylor from Queen or Roger Taylor from Duran Duran?

    5. Amanda November 10th, 2009 at 7:22 pm 5

      It was good, but “titans will clash” has got to go.

    6. Ryan Adams November 10th, 2009 at 7:24 pm 6

      Really? “Titans will clash!” That’s the best you can do…?

      It was either that or, “Titan Your Seatbelts, It’s a Bumpy Upgrade to First Clash”

    7. Chris November 10th, 2009 at 7:48 pm 7

      Will see it but want to see a little more.

    8. babalabalu November 10th, 2009 at 7:49 pm 8

      That is SO metal.

    9. chrisw November 10th, 2009 at 8:02 pm 9

      Never has generic metal music fit so terribly with Greek myth.

    10. Cinefanatic November 10th, 2009 at 8:11 pm 10

      Agree with the Pan’s Labyrinth design vibe. Interesting. Pretty horrible trailer though. Lazy tagline, cliched music, and one generic line of dialogue? More please.

      And this is on AwardsDaily because….???

    12. Ryan Adams November 10th, 2009 at 8:15 pm 12

      “And this is on AwardsDaily because….???”

      …because when people sigh and say this is a weak year for movies, it’s good to be reminded of the true meaning of weak.

    13. BurmaShave November 10th, 2009 at 8:30 pm 13

      I am picturing Landau’s producer on ENTOURAGE saying something along the lines of “It’s a remake of a camp classic, but this time we’re gonna do it like 300. Is that something you might be interested in?”

    14. Niles November 10th, 2009 at 8:58 pm 14

      All I got to say is….this movie looks bitchin…:)

    15. sonny November 10th, 2009 at 9:03 pm 15

      the tag should say…
      REMEMBER THE TITANS…

    16. Ryan Griffin November 10th, 2009 at 9:17 pm 16

      “This winter, look for George Clooney in the air. UP in the air! In Up In the Air.”

      “A magical child hood tale comes to the big screen. Where are the wild things? Where The Wild Things Are.”

      “The goats will be stared at by men, in The Men Who Stare at Goats.”

      “Is this it? This Is It.”

      “Mr. Fox is fantastic, in The Fantastic Mr. Fox.”

      “This activity. Is. PARANORMAL. Paranormal Activity.”

      “This citizen will not abide the law. Law Abiding Citizen.”

      “TITANS. WILL. CLASH.”

      The original Clash of the Titans was the very first film I ever saw in theaters, so I’ll probably want to watch just for nostalgic reasons.

      Titan your seatbelts made me laugh really hard. Titans will clash is absolutely a ridiculous tagline and deserves ridicule.

    18. Ripley November 10th, 2009 at 9:36 pm 18

      Well the 1981 version is ‘camp’ now because of its age but I am old enough to have seen it in the theater and we all ate it up, more innocent times. This one is definitely ‘300′ part 2 from the trailer.
      I’ll see it for the manflesh alone lol.

    19. Kelly November 10th, 2009 at 10:01 pm 19

      Clash of the Tampons? or Tampon of the Titans? I don’t know which is better…

    20. A.J.Roscoe November 10th, 2009 at 10:25 pm 20

      I will pick this over Prince of Persia in a heartbeat.

    21. Bill November 10th, 2009 at 10:30 pm 21

      trailer for kick ass is up to if you want to throw that up

    22. SaltireFlower November 10th, 2009 at 11:20 pm 22

      The trailer is crap but I’m still looking forward to it mostly because of Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes.

    23. dela November 10th, 2009 at 11:25 pm 23

      I dunno about Pan’s Labyrinth design comparisons. Pan’s Labyrinth is elegant and fluid but this is so crass and obnoxious. No one will mistake these lumbering and mechanical creatures for Faun and company. More like Transformers.
      No thanks!

    24. Free November 10th, 2009 at 11:57 pm 24

      @ RyanGriffin: I just laughed at all of those horrid taglines.

      @ Sonny: also laughed at ‘Remember the Titans’

    25. Kad November 10th, 2009 at 11:58 pm 25

      “Really? “Titans will clash!” That’s the best you can do…?”

      That’s exactly the first thing that popped in to my head.

      Was Lawrence Kasdan connected to the screenplay? If, so I might go see it based on the Kasdan connection alone.

    26. Free November 10th, 2009 at 11:59 pm 26

      Also, have to agree, this is definitely 300, pt. 2 (and why the hell did we need another one?).

      I think it looks terrible, but I’m glad to see ol’ Pete Postlewaite about.

    27. Alan of Montreal November 11th, 2009 at 12:20 am 27

      What is it with all this metal/hard rock for trailers? It annoys me to no end.

      And Ryan Adams, you gave me my laugh for the day! :-)

    28. Diana November 11th, 2009 at 1:04 am 28

      Why do so many films seem like a poor attempt to copy Lord of the Rings?

      I saw the original Clash of the Titans about 30 times when we first got HBO in the early 80’s. Loved it, and HBO.

    29. dela November 11th, 2009 at 1:19 am 29

      Not related to this- Fantastic Mr. Fox currently has a metascore of 78 based on six reviews.

    30. Erik November 11th, 2009 at 1:35 am 30

      I’m not ashamed to say that I’m definitely looking forward to this one. Look, a part of my brain loves watching the smaller, independent kinds of films that distinguish themselves through great writing and acting, but another part of my brain just likes big shiny things to smash together and make loud noises, and then another part of my brain altogether just likes looking at Sam Worthington. So I’m sure i’ll be at least moderately entertained.

    31. Jonathan Spuij November 11th, 2009 at 4:30 am 31

      I love the Greek myths and I am still waiting for a decent big kick-ass movie about it. This’ll certainly kick-ass but I’m not sure on the decent part.

    32. bambi November 11th, 2009 at 7:58 am 32

      My kind of a movie. It`s probably going to be awful like Troy but that means unintentional laughs so ticket sold.

    33. Noah R. November 11th, 2009 at 8:52 am 33

      OT: The US poster for Doctor Parnassus has been released. Here it is in all its hi-def glory (best poster yet IMO):

      And there are several new clips online. Here is one of them:

    35. OscarMovieBuff84 November 11th, 2009 at 10:09 am 35

      @Ryan I know people are saying a weak year for movies.

      But let me present an argument to the contrary:

      Hurt Locker (could be the first woman to a director Oscar, & the first great War film from this war period)

      Star Trek (box office smash, possibly a double Oscar winner in Sound Mix & Ed)

      Up (1st animated to make it to the table, an all-time great Pixar)

      Then we have Precious (which I’ve yet to see but think it’ll be great), The Lovely Bones (have no doubts on PJ & co.), Invictus (predictable yes but a good easy flick i imagine), Avatar (one of the most hyped about movies in ages, but of course could bomb but the latest trailer hints to the contrary), White Ribbon (looks great), A Prophet (ppl are really loving in For. Film), The Cove (a doc that will most likely hit a lot of critics Top Tens), Nine (who knows but the cast should be fun nonetheless).

      Not a great year but not horrible either. It might just be thin.

    36. Mike November 11th, 2009 at 10:12 am 36

      The music has got to go.

    37. Mike November 11th, 2009 at 10:55 am 37

      That’s a really bad teaser.

    38. Seankgallagher November 11th, 2009 at 11:53 am 38

      It was a lame joke, true, but no one will answer my question?

    39. el_barto November 11th, 2009 at 11:56 am 39

      Not a weak year? are you serious… im praying that Nine or The lovely Bones will save this year.

      Just notice that in the Winter of 2010 there are more anticipated films that in the whole 2009.
      -Shutter Island
      -The Edge of Darkness
      -The Wolfman
      -Greenzone
      -Alice in Wonderland
      -Wall Street 2
      etc…
      Even if you like popcorn flicks, this is watchable, and Kick-Ass is coming out too.
      and yeah… winter is supposed to be the “weak” season of the year.

    40. Marshall1 November 11th, 2009 at 11:57 am 40

      What is wrong with the awful and loud music that goes with the trailer? This is NOT Transformers dude. The trailer is fast, noisy, and without substance, and the worst sin of all…..there’s not even a still frame of the hunky Sam Worthington (or as I call him, Gerard Butler without the smashed face), or a shirtless one :(
      Oh yeah, how come Jake and Sam couldn’t be in the same movie? They should just mash Prince of Persia and Clash of the Titans together…LOL

    41. Ryan Adams November 11th, 2009 at 12:01 pm 41

      Seankgallagher, I had Roger Taylor from Queen on my mind when I made that crack.

      Duran Duran don’t have the requisite Titan majesty.

    42. Ryan Adams November 11th, 2009 at 12:10 pm 42

      Clash of el_barto vs. OscarMovieBuff84,

      I don’t think this is a weak year at all. Some really fine American films, and it’s an especially strong year for international films. The decade maybe peaked in 2007, but this year looks as stong as last year, to me.

    43. chrisw November 11th, 2009 at 12:22 pm 43

      They should have “One Vision” or “I Want it All” over the trailer.

    44. bambi November 11th, 2009 at 12:39 pm 44

      #39

      year will be saved in one week. Novemeber 20, Twilight Saga: New Moon. No other movie matters.

    45. Gil November 11th, 2009 at 1:33 pm 45

      The CGI violence ejaculating all over the screen, the reactionary, macho posturing of your typical insular teenager, the anachronistic head banger music, and you’ve got the template for practically every video game produced in the last 15 years.

      I would never mistake Ray Harryhausen’s Titans for a recruitment video.

    46. Antoinette November 11th, 2009 at 3:34 pm 46

      Duran Duran don’t have the requisite Titan majesty.
