I’m not sure what can be said about Clash of the Titans except that it’s a remake and that it looks to be chock full of sandals, special effects and action. I don’t know too much about the original except that it came out in 1981, had an amazing cast (Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Burgess Meredith) and used stop motion animation to create what looks to be a beautiful film.The new film looks flashy and pretty typical so I don’t necessarily have high hopes. I do love Mads Mikkelsen, a Danish actor who is in the film--I couldn’t find him in the trailer though, which made me less excited to see the movie. Mostly though this new trailer below made me want to watch the original movie, which appears to be less about violence and fighting and more about adventure. Thus I have also posted the original trailer below the new one!
What do you think? Which film looks better?

Gina, that’s Mads right there on the freeze frame as he appears for a split second about 30 seconds into the trailer. He looks different with the beard, but as a fan, you know he is quite the chameleon.
