Update: 'Texas Chainsaw' Director Thanks the Gods for Possible 'Clash' Directing Gig
Friday, June 11, 2010

Update: Dan Mazeau, who worked for Warners on "The Flash", is being paired with David Leslie Johnson, writer of "The Girl with the Red Riding Hood," the studio’s horror thriller starring Amanda Seyfried that is in pre-production, to write "Clash of the Titans 2."" With the fake 3-D remake of Clash of the Titans nearing $500 million worldwide at the box office, Warner Bros. Pictures is fast-tracking a sequel with plans on shooting as early at January, reports the LA Times. It was already revealed that Louis Leterrier would not be returning to the director's chair (thank the Gods (pun intended)), not the LA Times is writing that the frontrunner replacement is none other than Jonathan Liebesman, the man behind Darkness Falls, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and the forthcoming Battle: Los Angeles. Shooting in early 2011 is also a priority because the studio needs to make sure star Sam Worthington, who is committed to shoot Avatar 2 (likely later in the year), is free and clear. Hopefully they actually shoot it in 3-D this time (or not at all).

Listening to CLASH OF THE TITANS bashing is a bit like listening to someone raging full tilt, veins-popping-out against Applebee's. No, Applebee's doesn't make the best food in the world, but it's hardly terrible. Indeed, it can be pretty tasty when one isn't expecting gourmet cuisine... a fact that makes people who passionately hates it enough to bash it at every opportunity seem just a bit unbalanced and lacking in perspective.

Liebsman is a developing filmmaker and that is all we can ask for. Each film is a marked improvement on the last. His TCM prequel was heaps better than the remake of the original. Also he is only as good as his script.

It wasn't the director's decision to have this converted to 3D. While Liebsman is a fine director, he's not an effects director. I'd rather they stick with Letierrer. And this is the first time I heard someone say something nice about TCM: The Beginning.

americangods you got it spot on, Clash remake was a good film when you dismiss the dodgy 3D, infact it was better than Ironman 2, the New Elm Street and the some what comparable Prince of Persia... the dirrection and non-3D effects were great....... im glad it did well despite shite reviews from 'high n mighty' so called film purists who wanted to dog it for its 3D.... bad producer error not director..... also it seems like this site wants to like Jonathan Liebesman simply because he's dealt with horror- the only thing scary about his films is how they managed to destroy some exciting new horror franchises : Darkness falls in the right hands could have been good, and he massively cocked up a sequel to chainsaw remake- we should have had a rebooted franchise after the impressive and success full first- shame on you Mr Disgusting your motives for backing this guy are shoddy

Fake 3D? It's just as every bit fake as the 3D used in Avatar. Any film projected onto a flat surface will have "fake" 3D to make it look 3D. I still don't understand the sudden backlash against post production 3D...this is how it's been done for decades. All of a sudden a new technique comes out, and every other established way is frowned upon? Nice...loads of intelligence behind that one.

You are misinformed. The "conversion" of 2D movies into 3D is something that has only recently been possible. It has not been done for decades. Until recently, 3-D movies were shot in 3-D D, and most still are, thought this post conversion is unfortunately happenening now too. CLASH was shot flat, and then converted to 3-D in a rush at the last minute, which is why it looked so bad. The hope is, that they will use 3-D cameras in production for the sequel, and not use computer software to convert flat footage in post. AVATAR, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, FINAL DESTINATION, JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, RESIDENT EVIL AFTERLIFE, etc (as well all 3-D movies made for decades) were all shot with 3-D cameras; while stuff like CLASH, THE LAST AIRBENDER, etc were shot flat and converted. There are also some movies that have been shot flat with conversion in mind all along, such as PIRANHA 3D and ALICE IN WONDERLAND, but that's just because the directors were afraid of using a 3-D camera. Hopefully that will change, and they will learn how to do it right, because the final result is far superior. In other words, if you want to release in 3-D, shoot in 3-D, the traditional way, and stay away from the new "conversion" techniques.

By the Gods of Olympus if they try to pass the sequel as a fake, s**** 3-D movie i will sue them, no kidding. While i enjoyed the movie itself enormously i got really upset with the supposed 3D and the extra ticket price i HAD to pay for it since it was only offered that way where i live

@ultrazilla2000 plzzzzz, if you honestly think the quality of the 3D used in Clash of the Titans is anywhere near that of Avatar you seriously need to either have your eyes checked or visit a psychiatrist a.s.a.p.
