Is this the latest in a raft of films undergoing “re-shoots”? The studio is cutting this very fine as it’s meant to be released on 26th March. The L.A. Times report the actor, Sam Worthington being very frank about the matter:

“We’ll be right up against it.”

The official “reason” given for the last minute work is due to special effects…apparently the Kraken is going to rock it in 3-D. However, more intriguing, is the admission of “creaky parts” in Louis Leterrier’s blockbuster. Sam Worthington, clearly a no-bullshit Aussie like Russell Crowe, said:

“There were some creaky parts that we knew were creaky and that we knew were going to be creaky going into it. The studio is letting us add some scenes.”

Now that can be speculated upon, but does it sound exclusively special-effects related? Or, is it down to scenes not cutting? Perhaps the special effects of Worthington’s last movie, Avatar, have put all other films to shame. Anyway, news of re-shoots is hardly met with shock anymore. Why not be able to refine a piece of work if it isn’t translating from the heads of the creatives to the screen? Will the Kraken be the Best Movie Monster of 2010? Let’s hope so. Will 3-D ever move beyond the gimmick it so obviously is? Let’s hope so.

Clash of the Titans is released worldwide in March, 2010. Unless the studio says otherwise.
