The first look at Sam Worthington, who returns as Perseus in Wrath of the Titans, isn’t really the story here. What is more interesting is the plot synopsis as provided by Entertainment Weekly who writes about the story for the Clash of the Titans sequel with apparently spoilerish comments from director Jonathan Liebesman:

In the Greek-gods-run-amok sequel Wrath of the Titans (out March 30), Perseus (Sam Worthington) must journey into the underworld after his dad, Zeus (Liam Neeson), 
is kidnapped by Hades (Ralph Fiennes). The trident is but one of several celestial weapons Perseus has to bring together “in order 
to create an über-weapon,” says director Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles). “But that’s probably a massive spoiler. I 
haven’t practiced being spoiler-
proof yet.”

So Zeus is kidnapped? That happens? Is this the “weight” Worthington was talking about when he said the following to Buzzine:

You make Clash 2 weighty. Clash 1 is a video game. You make Clash 2 weighty. You take everything you’ve learned and go, “I’m not doing this f*cking shit! I’m going to do a weighty script in a blockbuster.” That’s the bigness of a blockbuster. They’re very hard because they’re done by such a machine, so you try to get that weight that an independent can allow you — that freedom that they have on an independent script — and then you try to fit it into a blockbuster where there’s a whole set of people who have a say. With something like Clash 2, that’s definitely what we’ve aimed for.

I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

As it says, Wrath of the Titans is set to hit theaters on March 30, 2012 and it will again be converted into 3D. Along with everyone mentioned above, the cast also includes Edgar Ramirez as Ares, Toby Kebbell as Agenor, Rosamund Pike as Andromeda, Bill Nighy Hephaestus and Danny Huston as Poseidon.

The Munsters

TV’s original American horror story is taking another step toward returning to primetime: NBC has ordered a pilot of Bryan Fuller’s remake of the classic TV show The Munsters.

The new version of the half-hour sitcom is bring re-imagined by the Pushing Daises creator as an hour-long series exploring how the monster house came about, and will have a darker and less campy feel than the black-and-white original.

The Munsters was launched the same year as the rather similar Addams Family, which goes to show in this season of dueling fairy tale dramas (Grimm, Once Upon a Time) that networks haven’t changed all that much. While Addams was based off Charles Addams’ New Yorker cartoons, the Munsters patriarch Herman was basically a play on Frankenstein.

There’s a couple other projects that could impact The Munsters‘ fate. NBC is also developing a remake of Frankenstein from House producers Garrett Lerner and Russel Friend, while Fuller is working on another monstrous project for NBC — a series version of Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter novels.
