Clash of the Titans is a 2010 action fantasy film and remake of the 1981 film of the same name produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (the rights to which had been acquired by Warner Bros. in 1996 through its purchase of Turner). The story is very loosely based on the Greek myth of Perseus.[2][3][4] An Australian-American production directed by Louis Leterrier from a screenplay by Travis Beacham, Phil Hay, and Matt Manfredi, starring Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton, Mads Mikkelsen, Alexa Davalos, Ralph Fiennes, and Liam Neeson, the film was originally set for standard release on March 26, 2010.[3][4] However, it was later announced that the film would be converted to 3D and was released on April 2, 2010.[5][6]
Clash of the Titans was an enormous commercial success, grossing $493 million worldwide and becoming one of the highest grossing films of 2010, but received mostly negative reviews from critics. While the film's epic scale, visual style, and the performances of Neeson and Fiennes were praised, it was generally considered an example of style over substance, with particular criticism for the quality of the film's 3D. The film's success led to a sequel, Wrath of the Titans, released in March 2012.
