‘Clash of the Titans’ remake to be released this year – how will it compare to the original?

I don’t know about you, but I loved the original Clash of the Titans. I love mythology, particularly Greek, and although the appearance of the Kraken was somewhat unexpected, being a creature from Norse Mythology and normally portrayed as a giant squid, it was still a great film with fantastic stop-frame animation from the legendary Ray Harryhausen.

A remake of this mythological blockbuster is set to be released on March 26 2010. The plot looks to be somewhat different from the original, focusing more on the dark god Hades, (Ralph Fiennes) and his attempts to seize power from Zeus and unleash hell upon the Earth. From the trailer, it looks promising, but will it live up to the original, or do you think it will be a major flop?
