Remember 1981’s Clash of the Titans?

I sure do. Cheesy special effects and all, it’s a classic. And like all good classics it’s going to be remade.

But this remake is going to be written by Star Wars Episode V Empire Strikes Back Writer Lawrence Kasdan.

The original 1981 story revolves around Zeus’ son, Perseus, and his journey to save Princess Andromeda during which he must complete various tasks set out by Zeus, including capturing Pegasus and slaying Medusa and fighting the Kraken.

No word yet on when this beast will hit the screens or on who might be cast. Sir Lawrence Olivier was Zeus in the original – who’s gonna top that?

Here for your viewing enjoyment – the original 1981 trailer.
