Clash of the Titans - Remake
« on: March 08, 2010, 11:04:53 am »
They are doing a remake of Clash of the Titans.

Here is the trailer on imdb.
http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi342754585/

I was four when the original movie and it was one of my favorite movies as a kid.

I might go see this one in the theatre.  I think it might be in 3D.

I still hate the tag line on the first trailer they released:   The Titans Will Clash.   Clash of the Titans.

I hope this is good, but odds are it'll be a complete waste of time.

Google Ray Harryhausen of you want to see all of them.
He did the stop motion for nearly every cool movie that ever used it. King Kong and Terminator (only for a few seconds) are the only two cool movies I can't think that use stop motion that he didn't do.

 There is something magical about the original.  I really like it.
 
 Id bet it will lose all its charm... such as the playful metal owl antics.

 Id probably rather see the original converted to 3d instead  heh

 I have hopes for the remake... but it will probably be a Titanic disappointment.

Agreed... I'm not a fan.  When you remake the prime example of Ray Harryhausen's stop motion animation in cgi it is apparent that you have missed the point in regards to it's lasting fan-base.  Now what they could have done is took the original film and re-integrated the original stop motion effects, only this time using coraline's ground-breaking "frame blending" technology which would have resulted in the same beautiful work minus the jerkyness. 

In other words a new coat of paint wouldn't have been too bad, but this is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

It's especially bad when the economy is bad.  New IP is always dangerous cos you have to educate the public from scratch.  When the economy is down and ticket sales are down and investments are bleeding money, big companies fewer risks.  Retreads like this have customers built-in.  This thread wouldn't exist right now if Clash of the Titans was a new property.

I agree completely and when you think about it that is exactly what is wrong with America right now.  It used to be, even in hard times, organizations and wealthy individuals had opportunities setup so that artists and inventors were still allowed to take great risks, which kept America on top.  Our top export used to be ideas, not products.  Now our top export is film, so you'd think the studios would cut artists more slack and allow them to create.  This isn't going to happen though, because businesses which used to be regulated, often self-regulated, now are morally irresponsible and are only concerned on increasing profit margins every single quarter, even if it's IMPOSSIBLE to expand the business any further.  It goes against every rule of business and as a crazy, liberal, hippy, tree-hugger it really pisses me off. 

But I digress.  Yup, studios won't try anything new cause they are cowardly and afraid to lose money.

 The same thing has been happening in all areas of entertainment...

 First it started out with music.   They made it all generic, and formulaic.

 Next was Video Games.   All FPS shooters for home.  Dumb Drivers & Gun games
in arcades.

 Now Movies.  Near zero dialog. Crappy CGI. Remakes up the yinyang.

 Dont forget Pinball.  Wretched "TV" Themes. Low budget. No original/artistic qualities.


 Almost all true art has Vanished due to Corporate Fear of Loss.   There are no
risks, no art, no real effort.  Just a soulless grinding of work, with a result not worthy
of enjoyment.

 At this rate, the entire system will collapse in no time.  I almost Pray for it every day.
Generica has Got to die.   Control needs to go back in the hands of the true
creative visionary's...  Not the clueless/soulless greedy money men.

 My Protest is my Dollars.  They will not be spent on inferior generic drivel.

I watch the Sorpranos re-runs whenever I catch them. I just loaned my sets out to a buddy for his wife to watch last week.  HBO seems to push the envelope a lot more than regular networks.  I've heard Showtime does too but I dont have it.

 The same thing has been happening in all areas of entertainment...

 First it started out with music. 


I actually think music is making a bit of a comeback.  Bittorrent is killing the traditional model.  It's getting a lot harder to just put out some produced prepackaged crap and sell 10 million albums.  Successful bands are being forced to tour more, rather than just throw out an album and do a short 20-city tour every two years and then live off millions and millions of dollars in album sales.  Now they have to work a little bit for their money.  And the same goes for studios.  They seem a lot more interested in exploiting the indy scene and plucking some of the best out of obscurity.  Hopefully things keep moving in this direction.

Bittorrent is killing the traditional model.  It's getting a lot harder to just put out some produced prepackaged crap and sell 10 million albums.

 Not at all.   People are willing to pay for good music.. but they are Not willing
to pay what the record companies are asking.

 Firstly, the ---daisies--- have been slowly compressing the music to hell... ruining its
sound.  The original reason, was to make the CDs sound louder... but its got
way out of hand...  and now its merely a trick to reduce production costs.  Less
detail means less editing.  Now music on CDs sounds Flat and lifeless.   Ive got cds
from the early 90s that sound 1000x better than the latest cds of today.

 Next there is Value.  You can buy an entire Movie for $10 now.  The movie may
have 2.5hrs of material, which includes a full musical score... all in crystal
clear high def surround sound.

 Not to mention all the other things people have to spend their money and time
on.  $15 for an crappy CD  (obsolete technology),  that is easily scratched,
contains rootkit malware, is overpriced, poorly produced, sounds terrible...is
Not going to sell well.

 Make DVD audio the standard, discs with audio only will be no more than $5.
They will sell like madd.  And, because they are cheaper... people will be more willing
to spend money on trying out a new Artist.

Quote
Successful bands are being forced to tour more

 LOL.  Firstly, its rare that people who do not know a band, will go pay to see
them.  But the funny part of what you said... is that a Band is Forced to tour
to make money.   When in fact, the record companies usually have such seedy
contracts with the artists... that they dont make JackCrap selling their music.
Thus, the only way they ever have made money is by touring.

 The worst part of it, is that their reps do not promote them.  So, all these fans
who might be interested in seeing them on tour... will miss them cause they
didnt hear a single thing about it.   It pains me to see a monolithic band like
Megadeth play these tiny venues... when they should be filling entire stadiums.

Quote
They seem a lot more interested in exploiting the indy scene

 Umm... What is an Original Artists?!   Indi is just another name for unrecognized
talent.  They have been exploiting people since their existence.  And once they
DO wrap their string around the new talent... they will turn them into
useless Mudd by their next album, by forcing them to apply their godawful
generica formula.  Again, much like how Stern takes a designers input,
trashes it.. and forces them to do what He wants instead... because HE
thinks he is right... and He has the money to make that situation.

Bands SHOULD make a good oart of their living by touring. That's what being a musician should be about. But remember, it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll  :)

Talking of which, ACDC are making a stack from touring. They refuse to rely purely on album sales (there is no 'best of ACDC' for instance) and they don't offer content for download. I didn't go to their show here a few weeks ago. But i could hear it quite clearly from maybe 5 miles away. I can say that they've still got it  ;D

Can't add much here except second most all of what's been said. I am going to try it out, ultimately because of the 3D thing, but already I've seen things I'm not happy with.

Like what's up with the "black" Pegasus? Pegasus is a beautiful white horse with wings - or at least he was in the original by Harryhausen.  Also, I've seen no signs of Calibos, which bothers me greatly as the whole thing hangs in the beginning on his wicked involvement.

The original was one of my favorites as well as a kid, and the one thing this one won't have that the original did is Burgess Meredith's  masterful portrayal of Perseus' right hand man.  The guy was acting rings around every single one of the leads.

Any re-rendering of the entire Medusa battle would be heart-breaking.  The original was breath-taking, chilling, and amazing back in the day...and still is.

It also will be lacking the very nubile form of one Judi Bowker as the princess Andromeda....and there's no one in Hollywood right now that I can think of who could pull off those scenes the way she did.

 Saw the 2nd version of the Trailer... and I will definitely not pay to see the remake,
even with it being in Stereoscopic 3D.  The CGI is godawful.  The classic stop motion
looks 1000x better.  Especially in the case of Medusa... which is a huge part of that
movie.

 If they convert the original to Stereoscopic 3D, Id be first in line.

(Id also wager that it would make more money than the remake)

I will probably go see it on Sunday. I don't see anything wrong with updating and remaking old films, I watch old movies all the time and think "man they could probably do this movie a lot better with today's technology" . I don't expect it to replace the original, the original was timeless and will always be epic (to me at least) but thats not going to stop me from enjoying it if its good.

PS: I watched some of the "making of" on G4 and they did a REALLY good job of blending props and blue/green screen and CGI

The problem, Malenko, is not with the concept of remaking an old movie.  There's nothing inherently wrong with that.  The main problem is that talented filmmakers, like the one who made the original Clash, usually have their own creative ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- they want to do.  The people remaking old classics just happen to be hacks 9 times out of 10.  So it's not that a remade classic can't be good.  It's just that it won't be.

I don't know about the quality of the movie itself but if there is one concensus, it's that the 3D is really poor. See it in 2d if you can.
