Danny Huston who plays dodgy scientist Colonel WIlliam Stryker in the hot new X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been cast as Poseidon in the Clash of the Titans. Huston also played in 21 Grams, The Aviator, Marie Antoinette, Number 23 and zombie vampire movie 30 Days of Night.

I wonder where the cast which as I said yesterday includes  Liam Neeson,  Sam Worthington, Ralph Fienes and Gemma Arterton will hang out  when they are in Tenerife.  Not mentioned yesterday is Alexa Davalos as Andromeda, the leading female role in the movie. The paps will have a field day.

I expect this new movie will have its own spin on the story but I don’t suppose you can stray too far from the original plot if you are portraying an ancient legend. If you don’t mind spoilers read this review of the original Ray Harryhausen version of Clash of the Titans by Scott Ashlin, who saw it five minutes after it was released at a Maryland drive-in.
