Here's some news that should send chills up the spines of every movie geek out there. John Glenn and Travis Wright, the men who wrote the remake of The Warriors, have signed on to pen a new version of the classic Clash of the Titans.
Sigh.
And here's the kicker: They have decided to cut out all the scenes with the Gods, focusing the story on the adventures of Perseus. But without the machinations of the Gods adding that mythological kick, we just have the Scorpion King set in Ancient Greence.
"We had a 16-page take that got us the job, and the studio responded to what will be an adventure film with religious elements," Glenn told Variety.
But why remakes? In his terrifying answer, Glenn name drops two movies that must never be remade: "The remake work came out of the fact that we're both film geeks who watch films like 'The Warriors' 'Deer Hunter' and 'Apocalypse Now' and pursue the ones we want to remake." Revoke their Blockbuster cards NOW.
