There might be a small inkling of excitement for this project despite the fact the first official still looks like every action movie being produced these days, including the film Sam Worthington is in that is currently in theaters. However, when you read the synopsis, you realize that something is very wrong:
In the film, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.Excuse me? That doesn't sound remotely like the story this film is supposed to be based on. It sounds like a Hollywood war film instead of a Greek Myth. And look at the hinted production design...that's more Roman than Greek or at least the "Greek" stylized by Zack Snyder in 300. If this is the way the studios are going to handle their remakes/reboots, then there is definitely something wrong in Hollywood.
