Wrath of the Titans

Warner Brothers Pictures released the trailer for “Wrath of the Titans” earlier this week, and everyone who has ever played God of War suddenly started to drool.

While “Wrath of the Titans” doesn’t feature Kratos like the God of War series did, many of the names – Kronos and Zeus among them – will be familiar to gamers.

“Wrath of the Titans”, which returns Liam Neeson and Sam Worthington as Zeus and Perseus, is in post-production and is due out on March 30 of next year. According to IMDB, the film chronicles the trials of Perseus as he is dragged away from his quiet life as a fisherman and into a war between Zeus, his father, and Zeus’ godly son Ares (Edgar Ramirez) and his partner in crime, Hades (Ralph Fiennes).

The movie features everything that gamers have come to expect from ancient battle movies, with remarkable computer-generated animation and battles between man and the superhuman throughout.

Alexa Davalos was the only member of the “Clash of the Titans” cast to not be returned to her role (Andromeda) for the sequel, as she was replaced by Rosamund Pike.

“Wrath of the Titans” was filmed on location at the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain. Here’s the description of the movie from the official Warner Brothers’ YouTube page:

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.
