Clash of the Titans Director: You Shouldn't Remake Clash of the

Sam Worthington, as Perseus, takes direction from French director Louis Leterrier.The original Clash of the Titans, starring Harry Hamlin, doesn’t quite hold up when viewed through adult eyes in the year 2010. But for a certain age-range, those born in the mid 1970s, the film is a beloved keepsake of their childhood. This latter group contains the man behind the upcoming remake of the film, French-born director Louis Leterrier.Leterrier’s vision of Clash of the Titans—which retains some essential plot points (release the Kraken!) while telling a brand new story—hits theaters this Friday against such counter-programming as Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too and the Miley Cyrus vehicle The Last Song—a far cry from June 12, 1981, when the original Clash of the Titans was released on the same exact day as something called Raiders of the Lost Ark. When we spoke with him, Leterrier explained why he had to make such drastic changes to the plot of the original film—including the controversial removal of one quite polarizing Owl named Bubo (though, rest assured Clash fans, Bubo does make a quite hilarious cameo)—as well as why everybody was expecting his star Sam Worthinton's previous movie, Avatar, to bomb.
