Is this a case of a studio showing too much?
UGO has a new poster for "Clash of the Titans," and it's all about the Kraken. Oh, no will Perseus get gobbled?
The Kraken should be the most feared myth in the entire movie, something you only see in the corners of our eyes. Until it's on you and eating you. We should be thinking about this thing all week long before we line up to see the movie.
Now, with this poster, we see it. Sure, it's got a lot of teeth. But it's got no nose. Am I supposed to be scared of a monster with no nose? How can it smell what the Rock is cooking?
I don't know. It's Friday and it's raining in Los Angeles.
Behold ... the Kraken:
Check out the one sheet for the original.

Woohoo, wait a minute I thought Kratos killed him in GoW II.

Nice poster. But as somebody who saw the original in the theater and grew up on Harryhausen's films this is going to have one hell of a time matching up to the original.

The original sucked ass, as anything with Harry Hamlin in a toga is bound to do. This one actually looks pretty good, judging by the poster. I've always maintained that instead of remaking classics like Psycho, Hollywood should redo bad movies - and this one was the baddest of the bad. And I don't mean that in a good way.

Reminds me of the Rancor from Return of the Jedi.

I dont get it, so the guy pulls out the head of Medesa and game over, the Kraken is dead.
Unless Hollywood steps in and the Hero(tm) trips like a teenage dropout from a horror flick, the head falls just out of his grasp, moments before getting it, a scaly barnacle encrusted claw comes down, hurling the head away and it turns into a 10 minute fight scene (the Hero(tm) mostly just dodges) that ends with him showing the head.

Reminds me of Cloverfield. But I will surely watch the movie when it is shown.

The original was awesome but it was also really bad. That was part of the appeal. Let's face it, as kids we're all far more easily "wowed" than as cynical adults.
M was right BTW, totally looks like the beastie from Cloverfield.
