Wrath of the Titans Character Posters

Wrath of the Titans looks set to be one of the early blockbusters of 2012 as Sam Worthington reprises the role of Perseus.

The movie comes two years after Clash of the Titans and sees Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes also return.

Rosamund Pike, Bill Nighy and Toby Kebbell are just some of the new faces on the cast list.

 

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year-old son, Helius.

Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon.

The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.

Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’s godly son, Ares, switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’s remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth.

Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda, Poseidon’s demigod son, Agenor, and fallen god Hephaestus, Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.

Wrath of the Titans is released 30th March

New Coriolanus Poster

Coriolanus looks set to be one of the must see movies of early 2012 as Ralph Fiennes makes hit directorial debut.

He has assembled a super impressive cast as he stars alongside Gerard BUtler, Vanessa Redgrave, Brian Cox, Jessica Chastain and James Nesbitt.

Based on the Shakespeare play Fiennes takes the title role of Coriolanus, a revered Roman General at odds with the city of Rome and his fellow citizens.

Pushed by his controlling mother Volumnia (Vanessa Redgrave) to enter the Senate, he is loath to ingratiate himself with the masses whose votes he needs in order to secure a Senate seat.

When the public refuse to support him, Coriolanus’s anger prompts a riot which culminates in his expulsion from Rome.

The banished hero then allies himself with his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler) to take his revenge on the city.

Coriolanus is released 20th January. Take a look at the new poster for the film:

Best Movie Posters: Schindler’s List

Schindler’s List (1991)

Steven Spielberg has a knack of producing great poster art for his movie – after praising E.T. & Jaws it’s now the turn of Schindler’s List.

Schindler’s List is one of the greatest war movies to ever grace the big screen with superb central performances from Liam Neeson & Ralph Fiennes.

In Poland during World War II, Oskar Schindler gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazis.

This is a hugely powerful image of larger hand reaching down and grasping a smaller and more vulnerable being.

This is such a potent image for helping those who needed it – that no other picture could have much such a powerful impact.

And that image is beautifully contrasted with ledgers of prisoners- demonstrating that, at the time, people were nothing more than a number.

Harry Potter New Trailer And Images

It’s not long now Potter fans before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows finally hits the big screen, the movie is finally released on 19th November.

Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort’s immortality and destruction… the Horcruxes.

On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.

Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort’s Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them.

But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort…alive.

Harry’s only hope is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale… the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks.

Little does Harry know that his future has already been decided by his past when, on that fateful day, he became ‘the Boy Who Lived.’

No longer just a boy, Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the task for which he has been preparing since the day he first stepped into Hogwarts: the ultimate battle with Voldemort.

Clash of the Titans Premiere

The stars of Clash of the Titans were out in force on the red carpet last night as London hosted the world premiere of Louis Leterrier’s latest movie.

The film sees Sam Wothington back on the big screen since the success of Avatar, although lets be honest Avatar has been such a big hit he has never really left.

In Clash of the Titans 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 (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph 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 (Liam 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.

Take a look at some of the footage from the red carpet:
