Variety is reporting that Ralph Fiennes (In Bruges) is currently in negotiations to star as Hades, the lord of the underworld, in the upcoming Clash of the Titans remake. Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk) is set to direct and the film will also star Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation) as Perseus, Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace) is set to play Perseus’s love interest, and Liam Neeson (Taken) will be playing Zeus.
I think this is great news, Ralph Fiennes is an excellent actor and we already know that he is capable of playing a villain from his work in the Harry Potter series. I am starting to get very excited for this, especially with this news. I like Louis Leterrier a lot, Unleashed and Incredible Hulk were fun action movies despite being too formulaic. I think Clash of the Titans is going to make for one fun action movie. Clash of the Titans is set for a March 26th, 2010 release date.
What do you think of Ralph Fiennes? Are you excited for Clash of the Titans?
