Clash of the Titans full trailer

-
Alright, so it's not Trailer Tuesday but I couldn't resist posting up the first full trailer for Clash of the Titans - which hit the interwebs yesterday.

As regular readers of this blog may have guessed by now, this remake of the cheesy 1981 fantasy adventure is shaping up as my most highly anticipated film of 2010. And all this despite the fact that the movie, like the original, clearly takes major liberties with the original Greek myth of hero Perseus, and his battle with the fearsome Gorgon, Medusa.



Clash of the Titans 2010 looks fantastic, and this new full trailer gives the viewer some tantalising glimpses of mythological beasties, including Medusa, harpies, giant scorpions, the Kraken and the new badass Pegasus - now in sleek and sexy limited edition black.

This trailer above actually leaked online earlier this week but was yanked down at Warner Brothers' insistence before I could link to it (I did at least get to watch it before it vanished). Now it's back up in high definition and I'm drooling over the visual delights. Even if the Titans remake is completely mindless, it seems to be stuffed with mouth-watering eye candy.

And fortunately we only have to wait just 3 months - until 26 March - to see Clash of the Titans, as opposed to the peak midyear blockbuster season of May through July.

Out of interest, the first official Clash of the Titans posters appeared online last week. You can see the full set here.

Perseus should be turned to stone in that promotional poster.

I think he should be OK, seeing as he's not looking her in the face. Judging my the poster he's already using the head to turn the Kraken to stone.

Is the rebooted Lara Croft gay? Evidence for and against...

As some of you know, I’ve been fangirling hard over the new Tomb Raider , the first entry in the video game series since 2008, and ostensibly a reboot for the entire franchise . Taking the form of an origin story, Tomb Raider 2013 depicts the events that transformed a beautiful, if bookish, archaeology graduate into a pistol-packing adventurer with a devil-may-care attitude. We meet Lara Croft as a pretty, fairly ordinary 21 year old, brooding over her work notes, listening to her mp3 player and very much confined to the shadow of her male mentors. By the end of the game, however, she’s taken charge – she’s had to! – and, battered, bruised and bloody, she’s both a survivor and hero, right down to rescuing the princess and carrying her away in her arms. Yeah, this is probably the best point to mention that there will be some Tomb Raider 2013 spoilers in this post, so read ahead with caution. Anyway, I loved the game. Technically it’s near faultless, it looks beautiful, the ov

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Queer Icon (Part 4)

Part 4: The mystery of Lara Croft’s sexuality “Now what’s a man gotta do to get that kind of attention from ya?” – Larson Conway (Tomb Raider, 1996) Despite being an icon for many queer pop culture consumers, Lara Croft’s own sexual orientation remains ambiguous. Outside of the Top Cow comics and live-action films – where Lara is blatantly heterosexual, with a fondness for slightly scruffy bad boys (who keep betraying and hurting her) – the character comes across as primarily asexual. Kurtis Trent is the only male figure who even comes close to being a love interest in the game series. Lara's apparent sexual disinterest is despite the adventurer appearing very sexually attractive herself; a figure of desire with bee-stung lips, voluptuous breasts, toned stomach and impossibly long, athlete’s legs. Yet Lara is never dominated by sexual yearnings or romantic affections. She is very much in control of herself at all times. It’s worth noting, however, that over time th

Ladies I Love: Part 2 - Rhona Mitra

Following on from the first post in this series , you may realise that I have a very definite type. Anyway, today we profile model-turned-actress Rhona Mitra . This 36 year old Briton is of English, Irish and Indian descent. You'll have seen her pop up on the big and small screen multiple over the past decade and a half, although Mitra's claim to fame is that she was the second ever model (some say first if you rule out "unofficial"  Nathalie Cook ) to play iconic video game character Lara Croft . From 1997-1998, Mitra could be found in PR material, as well as at trade shows, events and conventions as a flesh-and-blood embodiment of Tomb Raider 's kick-ass archeologist lead. There have been many official Lara Croft models over the years , but as far as I'm concerned Mitra remains the best. In my mind, of all of them, she most closely resembles the video game character in terms of facial features. Plus she comes from money and had a rebellious boarding
