Neeson and Fiennes join Clash of the Titans - Blu-ray Forum

WyldeMan45 · 04-09-2009, 07:36 AM

Sure doesn't appear that the death of Natasha Richardson has effected the careers of her husband or mother. With Liam now joining Clash of the Titans and Vanessa Redgrave joining Robin Hood. Well they each waited the required mourning time of one week, so time to get back to acting!

Anyways I like Neeson's work and this casting sure is shaping up very nicely!

Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes will play warring gods in Warner Bros. and Legendary's Clash of the Titans, the Greek-god epic directed by Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk), says The Hollywood Reporter.

Neeson is playing Zeus, the wise yet sometimes ill-tempered king of the gods and father of Perseus (Sam Worthington).

Fiennes will play Hades, ruler of the underworld who aims to overtake Zeus and rule over all. Fiennes' deal is in still in negotiations.

The two actors join Mads Mikkelsen, Gemma Arterton and Alexa Davalos in the production, which begins shooting later this month in the U.K.

He's just probably occupying his time now since Natasha passed. Acting seems to make him happy and given the emotional state of what happened, I think it's a good thing he's working on other movies.

Adding Liam Neeson to the casting sure make's me feel much better about this movie. Original cast of god & goddess back in 1981 was lengendary to say to least

Agreed. Sitting around and thinking about tragedy is worse. The only way to get past tragedy is to keep moving and less dwelling on the fact.

Guess Lincoln's not shooting anytime soon.

Diesel · 04-09-2009, 02:43 PM

i think he'll probably try to stay busy and not think about her death too much so that he doesnt get depressed
alot of people do it
it really sucks for him that she died man....

but its good news to hear he's getting out there and working

i'll be checking this movie out when it hits theaters

WyldeMan45 · 04-09-2009, 05:29 PM

The casting sure came together very fast for this, and it's gonna shoot later this month? There was no delay, I remember nothing about this movie being announced for a very long time than out of nowhere it had almost all it's cast.

johnarnold101 · 04-09-2009, 07:31 PM

I don't blame him for signing on so fast, I try to bury my head in work when things are going bad, I couldn't even imagine what he is going through.

Batman1980 · 04-09-2009, 07:32 PM

I wonder if this will be as good as Schindler's List...

quexos · 04-09-2009, 08:50 PM

I was so impressed as a kid by this movie. I hope the remake will live up to it.

monkyman · 04-09-2009, 09:40 PM

I'm sure this was in negotiations way before she died. It's not like he just woke up and said "I think i'll go sign up to join Clash today"

Should be a good movie. I always seem to confuse Neeson and Fiennes...maybe they are just one person.

I can see what you mean. But they are very different. One is a "hero" and one is a "villain." Fiennes will be an amazing Hades if the negotiations go through. He is tight with WB though, so it should be okay. The two of these men will be great opposite each other. Does anyone know if they have been in a film together??

Both great actors, but I've never thought they actually look alike, lol

And Ralph's brother Joseph is also fantastic, Enemy at the Gates anybody?
