With its March 26, 2010 release date just over two months way, “Clash Of The Titans” still seems to have a lot of pieces to get in place.
Firstly, the madness of our best-of-decade coverage and the holiday season in general, we didn’t report that back in late December, word leaked out that “Clash Of The Titans” was going to undergo reshoots this month. According to Sam Worthington, “We’re going to be going back and shooting more scenes for it, they cut loose with some money so we can add to it. We’re going to be shooting more scenes in January, so we’re going to be right up against it — the movie comes out in March. There were some creaky parts but they are the parts that we knew were creaky and that we knew were going to be creaky going into it.”
Um, ok. Worthington goes on to spin the reshoots by saying its because Warner Brothers loves what Louis Leterrier has done and what to make the film the best it can be and says that more “gods and scenes” will be added. There are also rumors swirling that the film may get a last minute 3D treatment. So is the studio actually happy with what they’ve seen, or are they so worried that they hope if people wear 3D glasses, they won’t realize how awful it is? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
As for the soundtrack, it appears that no one is quite lined up yet. Operatic UK arena rockers Muse have revealed that have been asked to write the soundtrack to the film, but have not yet made a decision. Um, guys? The clock is ticking on this one. The band will have a few weeks of downtime between tours in February in which they could theoretically crank out something. While their stylized soaring rock has been put to good use in trailers (most recently, “Watchmen”) this would be their first soundtrack gig. However, fans of the band take note, frontman Matt Bellamy says that any potential score they may do for the film would be “totally different to Muse.”
