It's All Greek To Warner Bros.

Warner Bros and Legendary pictures have announced that the remake of "Clash of the Titans" will commence filming just outside London on April 27th, and move to Wales and the Spanish Canary Islands later in production. Liam Neeson, Sam Worthington, and Ralph Fiennes headline the re-imagining of the 1981 original and Louis Leterrier is set to direct.

In “Clash of the Titans,” the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

Continuing their obsession with men in sandals, Warner Bros also won a bidding war for an "Odysseus" spec script written by Ann Peacock. The script has director Jonathan Liebsman attached and Hollywood Gang Prods' Gianni Nunnari will produce.

The story centers on the legendary hero Odysseus, famed king of Ithaca, who returns to his island after 20 years of fighting the Trojan Wars, only to find his kingdom under the brutal occupation of an invading force. Odysseus single-handedly defeats every last man and takes back his wife, his son and his kingdom.

Warner Bros sure has an affinity for Ancient Greek culture, the acquisition of "Odysseus" and principal photography starting on "Clash of the Titans" isn't their first venture down this dirt road. The very successful "300" already had Warner Bros thinking seeing green and thinking Greek. With Warner's moving on "Clash of the Titans" and fast tracking "Odysseus", it is even more unlikely that Relativity Media's "War of the Gods" will see the light of day.
