Another New “Clash of the Titans” Featurette

As Avatar has proved, sometimes people just enjoy going to the theater for a over the top visceral experience, which is why films like Clash of the Titans get made. Sure, the story is based around the granddaddy of all storytelling, Greek Mythology, but the plot is just there as a device to have awesome special effects. The more I see of Clash of the Titans it is painfully obvious that it is going to have some stellar effects. It seems that Greek myths are all the rage right now, with either adaptations of them or always alluding to them in pop culture. Maybe it is always around, and I’m just noticing more every day. Either way, these featurettes are making me excited for next month!
