Letterier Not Returning for CLASH OF THE TITANS 2

In what should come as a "shock" to all those who sat blurry eyed through the awful Clash of the Titans, director Louis Letterier will not be returning to helm the sequel. Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures are already moving ahead with plans, hoping to get production underway in time for a 2012 release.  The hope is to find a director who can get crankin' on the shoot before star Sam Worthington has to get back into Smurf-mode for James Cameron's Avatar sequel.

The entire cast that didn't get turned to stone or crushed by a scorpion tail is expected to return, along with writer Greg Berlanti to pen the script. The studios insist that there is no ill will between them and Letterier, and he will be staying on as exec producer.

I don't blame Letterier for how bad 'Titans' turned out to be. The decision to add that foggy 3-D effect came from above him and at the last possible second. Remember they hired an outside crew to tack it on literally a month before the film's release, and we saw the Vaseline like results. I'm sure if I had taken the time to see it in plain ol' 2-D it would've been a perfectly fine action romp. I still would've been pissed at the use of the Kraken, who spent 15 minutes "releasing" from the watery depths just to be killed in the same amount of time it took me to toss my used candy wrappers under my chair.
