The big popcorn movie hitting theaters this weekend is the bombastic remake of Clash of the Titans, which Rolling Stone’s Peter Travers gave a scathing one-star review. Instead of spending $12 seeing Clash, we recommend taking those two hours and sitting down listening to Sandinista! by a much superior Clash, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame punk icons. In order to keep the Clash’s good name from being sullied by this film, in this weekend’s Rock List we’re requesting your favorite Clash tracks. On Monday, we’ll reveal the winners in a Rolling Stone-approved playlist. Until then, here’s five that we always have on repeat:

• “(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais”
• “Spanish Bombs”
• “Straight to Hell”
• “One More Time”
• “Bankrobber”

Clash of the Titans is my most anticipated movie coming out in March, I think it just looks so awesome. Latino Review got their hands on a new featurette for the film featuring cast interviews with everyone from Sam Worthington to Liam Neeson to Ralph Fiennes and some new footage and a little behind-the-scenes peek. It’s not the most amazing featurette, but it’s pretty damn cool, and I’m only being made more excited watching this. I know there are some people complaining about this looking dull, but I love the upgraded modern look to all the Greek gods and the intensity Louis Leterrier brings to it. Totally can’t wait to see it!

Watch the new featurette for Louis Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans:

Follows Perseus and his quest to battle Medusa and the Kraken in order to save the Princess Andromeda.

Clash of the Titans is directed by French filmmaker Louis Leterrier, of Unleashed, Transporter 2, and The Incredible Hulk previously. The screenplay was originally written by Lawrence Kasdan (Raiders of the Lost Ark) then later revised by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi (both of Crazy/Beautiful, The Tuxedo, Aeon Flux). This is a remake of Desmond Davis' original 1981 classic movie of the same name. Warner Brothers will be bringing Clash of the Titans to regular 2D and 3D theaters everywhere starting on April 2nd. Still excited?

Okay, I know, I know, that headline is a bit much, but I’m a huge Clash of the Titans fan. And from the very start, the first thing I was wondering about the remake was whether Bubo the Owl was going to be in it. Laugh all you want, but that owl kicks some ass in the original 1981 movie (not really, but he is pretty damn cool). Anyway, Film School Rejects just caught up with some of the writers of the remake – Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi – and asked them, straight up, if Bubo was in it. Yes, Bubo is in it, he supposedly gets a “loving cameo.” Although, it’s only one scene, and it could supposedly end up on the cutting room floor.

Wait, one scene? I’m sure Bubo gets a good cameo, but isn’t the owl an integral part of the story? From Wikipedia: “She orders Hephaestus to build a mechanical replica of Bubo as an aid for Perseus. Bubo leads Perseus to the Stygian Witches…” So how did he get to the witches in this one if there is no owl to guide his way? Whatever, I’m getting way too invested in this, let’s just continue on. FSR says the scene with Bubo “has been back and forth – in the print, on the floor, back in the reel” but for now, according to the writers, it’s in the movie. But, of course, it’s director Louis Leterrier and Warner Brothers that have the final cut.

I doubt there’s anyone else who is as excited about this as I am, but damnit I had to write about it, even if it was just for fun. I guess we’ll find out on April 2nd whether Bubo makes the cut, but I’ll be looking for him.

Warner Bros. has tested 3-D upgrades for ancient bloodbath saga Clash of the Titans, and the results are in: The studio says the stereoscopic gore looks good enough to warrant a 3-D release for the movie April 2.

Besides Clash of the Titans, Warners is releasing a 3-D Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 in November to keep pace with the new industry benchmark set by Avatar.

One key distinction: James Cameron’s Oscar-nominated picture was shot from inception on 3-D cameras. Titans, which features Avatar star Sam Worthington, was initially conceived as a standard 2-D picture and converted after completion of principal photography. It remains to be seen if Titans‘ depth of field matches the organic clarity achieved in Avatar thanks to Cameron’s specially designed cameras.

Warner Bros. domestic distribution boss Dan Fellman is bullish. “The results for Clash of the Titans will be presented onscreen with the highest-quality images available today,” he said in a press release Wednesday. “Based on our track record, we know that audiences are embracing the RealD and Imax experiences, and we see many opportunities on our film slate to provide moviegoers with these great options at the multiplex.”

Prime Focus, which contributed visual effects to Avatar, handled the 3-D conversion on Clash of the Titans.

Damn the gods… again! IGN has debuted a new full-length international trailer for Clash of the Titans that mixes some elements of the original teaser and theatrical trailer as well as some new scenes involving Zeus (Liam Neeson) and Hades (Ralph Fiennes). I have to say, I still think this looks awesome and I can’t wait to see it, but we’re nearing the point where I just don’t want to see any more new footage before seeing the actual movie itself. Don’t forget that Warner Bros may still be converting this to 3D by April. Maybe it’s just because I’m a big fan of the original Clash of the Titans, but I think this looks totally badass. Enjoy!
