Clash of the Titans is a 2010 British-American
fantasy adventure film and
remake of the
1981 film of the same name produced by
MGM (the rights to which had been acquired by
Warner Bros. in 1996). The story is very loosely based on the
Greek myth of
Perseus. Directed by
Louis Leterrier and starring
Sam Worthington, the film was originally set for standard release on March 26, 2010. However, it was later announced that the film would be converted to
3D and was released on April 2, 2010.
Clash of the Titans grossed $493 million worldwide, though it received generally negative reviews from critics and received two
Golden Raspberry Awards nominations. The film's success led to a sequel,
Wrath of the Titans, released in March 2012. A third film titled
Revenge of the Titans was in development but then later cancelled.
