Clash of the Titans Trailer: A Wild Assortment of Creatures

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on November 10, 2009

Warner Bros. has officially unleashed the first teaser trailer for their upcoming epic Clash of the Titans, which comes from The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier. It is a remake of the 1981 Desmond Davis film of the same name, which tells the story of Perseus (Sam Worthington), a great warrior on a quest to save Princess Andromeda (Alexa Davalos). But before he can do that, he will encounter all kinds of wild and dangerous creature.

And that’s the hook — at least for me — in this first trailer. There are some wicked cool creatures in this movie, some whose designs appear borrowed from the likes of Lord of the Rings or Pan’s Labrynth, but that doesn’t make them any less cool. As we saw with the first set of leaked posters, the art design in this film looks sharp. The rest of it is a bit unimpressive — the rock soundtrack keeps things up beat, the action doesn’t seems stock-and-trade, and I’m still not sold on that acting ability of Sam Worthington. However, Louis Leterrier is a good director with an eye for big action — and this trailer has enough energy to keep me interested.

See for yourself below, followed by some hi-res stills that I grabbed from the HD version (available at Yahoo Movies) of the trailer showing off some of the film’s various creatures. Clash of the Titans hits theaters March 26, 2010.

And now, some images — including one of a badass giant scorpion and another of what I can only guess is a distant cousin to the dude from Pan’s Labrynth:
