Clash Of The Titans Director Clears Up Rumors About The Soundtrack And Going 3D


Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2, The Incredible Hulk), Director of the upcoming Clash of the Titans remake, starring Sam Worthington recently sat down for an interview to set the record straight on the 3-D and soundtrack rumors about the film.

Leterrier explained,

“We tried [to do 3-D for ‘Clash’].’ We tried hard. We just won’t have time, Maybe we possibly can re-release it in 3-D.”

With all of the effort put into trying to release “Clash” in 3-D, it was tough to get on set every day and deal with Worthington and his “Avatar” experiences.

“Because it was Sam Worthington, I could hear all these 3-D stories from ‘Avatar.’ And James Cameron was calling often, and I was like ‘Guys, I’m doing the best i can with [the two dimensions] I’ve got!’ So if we ever get to do [‘Clash’] in 3-D, that would be fantastic. But it’ll never be as good as James Cameron’s stereoscopic 3-D.”

When asked about the rumors that MUSE was being sought for the soundtrack – Leterrier said,

“It was not Muse ever, it was Matt Bellamy [who I spoke to about providing music]. I love Muse, I’m the biggest Muse fan ever, but I wanted something a little different, [Matt] wrote a lot of stuff, but he started his tour. So not so long ago, he called me and he was like ‘Louis, I’m so sorry. I have to be respectful to my audience and professional and I have to stop on ‘Clash.'”

Even if Bellamy had participated, the task of scoring the movie was never going to be his alone.

Leterrier explained,

“It was too big of a score, Craig Armstrong, who did my [‘Incredible Hulk’] score was going to write the score and Matt Bellamy was going to come in and do… maybe 30 minutes of music.”

“Craig Armstrong is still doing the score and I called my friend Neil Davidge from Massive Attack to replace Matt for the areas that Matt was doing. So it’ll be Craig Armstrong and Massive Attack, which is pretty exciting.”
