Being greatly inter­ested in Greek mythol­ogy I find myself look­ing for­ward to Clash of the Titans. This is a remake of the 1981 film of the same name, which was a box office hit back then.  The fan­tasy film is loosely based on the Greek myth of Perseus and fea­tures an impres­sive cast. Sam Wor­thing­ton stars as Perseus, Liam Nee­son as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, and Gemma Arter­ton por­trays Io. The film is directed by Louis Leter­rier – who already did The Incred­i­ble Hulk – and the music will be com­posed by Craig Armstrong.

The teaser trailer looks good! It sure looks like an action movie rather than a fully-fledged adven­ture. The remake will hit the the­aters on March 26th, 2010.

Yes­ter­day Fox released the trailer for 24′s – prob­a­bly final – sea­son 8 which will pre­miere on Jan­u­ary 17th, 2010. This time around, the series will unfold in New York City and see the re-activation of CTU’s New York office. It’s back to the roots for Jack Bauer as the plot line seems more akin to the nar­ra­tive that started the whole show. The story arc involves Bauer con­tend­ing with an assas­si­na­tion attempt on pres­i­dent Has­san from a fic­tional Mid­dle East­ern country.

Sea­son 8 sees Bauer want­ing to spend some time with his daugh­ter and grand­daugh­ter but once again his coun­try needs his help. Pres­i­dent Has­san is threat­ened to be assas­si­nated at the United Nations and, of course, only Jack Bauer has the skills and guts to help. Pres­i­dent Tay­lor and Chloe Sul­li­van return to help. It also looks like they brought back Charles Logan who was left nearly dead in sea­son six. Let’s see how this will turn out.

A movie adap­ta­tion of one of my most favorite games of all time – Prince of Per­sia: The Sands of Time – will come to a movie the­ater near you in 2010. The game evolves around an adven­tur­ous prince who teams up with a beau­ti­ful princess to stop an evil sor­cerer from unleash­ing the Sands of Time. It fea­tures beau­ti­ful envi­ron­ments, clever puz­zles, superb ani­ma­tions, really strong char­ac­ter­i­za­tion, and a well thought-out story won­der­fully nar­rated. An absolutely gor­geous mas­ter­piece that has been praised many times for its stun­ning atmosphere.

The film will be the­atri­cally released on May 28th, 2010. Jor­dan Mech­ner, the cre­ator of the Prince of Per­sia fran­chise, lent a hand in writ­ing the script. He re-conceived the sto­ry­line to shift the per­spec­tive to a non-interactive expe­ri­ence and in doing so he crafted a new story. Though the film still is based on the video game Mech­ner doesn’t expect pos­si­ble sequels to be based on the sub­se­quent games War­rior Within and The Two Thrones.

The prince is played by Jake Gyl­len­haal and con­trary to the game, in the movie he has a name: Das­tan. Gemma Arter­ton por­trays princess Tam­ina and Beng Kings­ley stars as the film’s antag­o­nist, Nizam. Alfred Molina plays a char­ac­ter named Sheik Amar, a men­tor to the prince. Jerry Bruck­heimer is pro­duc­ing for Walt Dis­ney Pic­tures. Like Pirates of the Caribbean The Sands of  Time has received a PG-13 rat­ing due to intense sequences of vio­lence and action.

Now, with­out fur­ther ado, enjoy the trailer:
