The legendary Ray Harryhausen may have passed away back in 2013, but it seems he left behind a handful of monsters that have been begging to be unleashed on the big screen.

Announced by the Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation, a joint effort with Morningside Productions will give rise to Force of the Trojans, a brand new stop motion movie!

“Discovery of new materials in the vast archives of the Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation will be the basis of a spectacularly new and original theatrical motion picture in the style of such Harryhausen/Charles Schneer classics such as Clash of the Titans, the duo’s most significant box office collaboration from 1981,” the foundation announced this week.

They continued, “This project, tentatively entitled Force of the Trojans, is based on a screenplay by Beverley Cross, and original production art and sculptures conceived by Ray Harryhausen that are on par with some of his most iconic screen creatures. Force of the Trojans will embody the spirit of the original Harryhausen films with all the fun, vibrant action, epic scope and dedication to craftsmanship that has made Ray Harryhausen’s films timeless.”

“Unlike other revisits to the fantasy adventure genre, Force of the Trojans will bring together stop-motion animation with the photo-real world of CGI, marking the first time that a monster battle will mix both techniques on screen in a major motion picture. In homage to a bygone era, this film will bring both worlds crashing together. For the first time, we can put on screen sequences that were not possible for Ray due to the limitations of special effects photography at the time.”
