The original Clash of the Titans is a modern classic that proved to be special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen’s swan song. Up to that point, Harryhausen had spent nearly three decades honing his skills in stop-motion animation. He had created some of Cinema’s most recognizable and fantastic action sequences in such films as Jason and the Argonauts and The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. He was a master at constructing monsters and creatures that seemed to live and breath. Clash of the Titans was the ultimate showcase for Ray Harryhausen’s talents and it was his contributions that gave the film its magic.
The new update of the Clash of the Titans has many of the same elements as the original. It tells the tale of Perseus (Sam Worthington) who becomes enraged at the gods when Hades (Ralph Fiennes) murders his family. After their deaths, Perseus...

Louis Leterrier’s remake of ‘Clash of the Titans’ certainly looks stylish. Judging from these new pics, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly and Empire Online, you can certainly see the craftsmanship from production designer Martin Laing (’Terminator Salvation’) and costume designer Lindy Hemming (’The Dark Knight’).
Check out the rest of these images that includes our first looks at Liam Neeson as Zeus and the three witches:
‘Clash of the Titans’ is set for release on March 26th, 2010.

Last week we revealed the evolution of the water-based Hydrobots. Today we offer a look at the making of another Terminator Salvation star: the T-600. The inspiration for the look and movement of the T-600 came from the Soviet-era T-34 tank (pictured here), an influential weapon created for the battlefields of WWII and widely praised for its efficiency, effectiveness and killer design. John Rosengrant, who worked for Stan Winston on the original Terminator and now leads his disciples at Legacy Effects, told me about the mental process behind building this bot: "I love war machines and there was a rough crudeness to the Soviet tanks where they didn't worry about how perfect they looked, you know--they went on to make like 60,000 of them during WWII--so they'd just take a grinder and knock off a seam and move along to the next one."

Production Designer Martin Laing has worked with James Cameron on True Lies, Titanic and Ghosts of the Abyss and has served on films like The Haunting, City of Ember and the upcoming Clash of the Titans. Terminator Salvation, with its bleak view of the future, is easily his most ambitious project to date. On the eve of the film's worldwide rollout, he sits down exclusively with Rt to take us through concept art for the film and explain his approach... "Our Terminator world is quite different from the films you've seen before. In the same way that Warner Bros. took...

I'm so excited for this film! "Clash of the Titans" is one of my childhood touchstones and although there's a part of me that doesn't want it remade, I'm looking forward to seeing Director Louis Letterier's ("The Incredible Hulk") vision!
Look at all the exciting news about casting news we broke here, and here.
And here's more "Clash of the Titans" shooting day info from our pals at IGN:
Based on the 1981 film of the same name, written by the late Beverley Cross, Clash of the Titans is directed by Louis Leterrier from a screenplay by Phil Hay & Matt Manfredi (Aeon Flux), story by Travis Beacham (Dog Days of Summer) and Hay & Manfredi. The film is produced by Basil Iwanyk, who produced the drama We Are Marshall for Warner Bros. Pictures, and Kevin De La Noy, who last served as an executive producer on the studio's blockbuster The Dark Knight.

Over the weekend, we got a sneak peek of what some of the visual effects in Terminator Salvation will look like. I think it's important that they don't go too advanced, because, after all, Terminator Salvation happens before the critical event in each of the three previous films. That critical event is the deployment of a Terminator to stop John Connor.
So while each Terminator was presumably more powerful as the first trilogy progressed, the events in the new movie take place before the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger). So it's actually got to be a little more lower rent than you might expect.
I think Martin Laing and the creative team have done a great job with their concepts for the next movie, based on this concept art, which you can get almost anywhere now; we picked it up at Geek Tyrant.

Terminator Salvation, due in May of next year, stars Christian Bale as John Conner. The film will be a quasi-reboot of the series, picking up after the machines have destroyed civilization and Conner is leading a small band of survivors in a war against the machines. The following is an open letter to McG, the director of the film.
Dear McG,
Lots of people have been talking about your new movie this week. Several sites have posted some leaked material featuring the work of production designer Martin Laing. Many sites had a behind the scenes featurette with Laing and a gallery of concept art, most of which were taken down at the request of the studio. One of the only ones to survive at time of this writing is on <a href="http://io9.com/5081729/terminator-4-concept-art-shows-half-breed-robo-kille ...

The sci-fi focused site io9 got a look at some seemingly legit concept art for various models of machinery we'll see being dismantled by John Connor and company in McG's scorched future Terminator Salvation. The designs seem to jibe with that leaked video of artist Martin Laing animatedly discussing his work on the project. Click those beast-bots below to see the range of McTerminators.

Over the weekend we posted a Terminator Salvation featurette that seems to be unanimously blowing everyone's minds. It was full of concept art, pre-viz work, and unpolished footage from the movie but, unfortunately, it wasn't the best quality so some of the more detailed images were harder to see.
Now that some of Martin Laing's artwork has finally made it online though, we can take a closer look at some of the Skynet hardware that'll be making life hard for our human survivors. I'm not sure where the art originated from but I first saw it over at io9. Take a gander at the awesome images after the break.

A new video interview with Terminator: Salvation production designer Martin Laing has spilled on to the internet, revealing some non-spoiler tidbits about the upcoming movie. Whatever you think about McG continuing the series, it’s hard not to get swept up in Laing’s enthusiasm. He seems to hold the series in high regard, and his research into a hypothetical post-apocalyptic Los Angeles can’t really be faulted. In fact, our expectations just went up by a lot. Quite a lot, in fact. Take a look yourself. ... .

Horror Movies has found a brand new featurette of McG-directed "Terminator Salvation". Essentially a video interview with production designer Martin Laing, the featurette has exposed many spoilers about the much awaited action thriller from where the story is taking place to the new types of Terminators. Many never-before-seen footage cut off from the latest of the "Terminator" franchise have also been included in the video.
Starring Christian Bale as John Connor, the man whose fate brings him to lead resistance army, "Salvation" is set in post-apocalyptic 2018. The story centers on Marcus Wright played by Sam Worthington as this stranger, whose last memory is of being on death row, joins Connor in a journey that leads them to the uncovering of the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind by Skynet and its army of killing cyborgs.
The fourth film of the "Terminator" series will also see Anton Yelchin,...

Here's a fascinating look behind the scenes of Terminator Salvation, one of the more eagerly-awaited films of 2009. It stars Christian Bale as John Connor, and we get to see a little footage of Bale from the film, plus some of the whiz-bang visual effects and the overall production design, which we're guided through by the film's Martin Laing.
You probably didn't see City of Ember - almost nobody did - but the best thing about that film was Laing's production design, so being conscious of that, I have high hopes for what T4 will look like. Now it's up to McG to make sure that the look and the script come together in a workable fashion.
A lot of people don't like the very existence of this film, but if you look at it from the overall story arc, this next trilogy needs to take place so we can have the first trilogy.

The fact that this new Terminator Salvation footage has popped up on Youtube leads me to believe that it hasn't been officially released, so catch it while you still can. The video is called Terminator 4: The Art of Martin Laing and features a male (I assume it's Martin Laing) talking about designing the new Terminators and then seeing them come…
