Zeus and Hades Clash in 'Titans'


According to Variety, "Ralph Fiennes is in advanced negotiations to star as Hades, the lord of the underworld, in helmer Louis Leterrier's 'Clash of the Titans' for Warner Bros.

Liam Neeson is set to co-star as Zeus in the reimagining of the Greek myth of Perseus.

Fiennes would join a cast that already includes, in addition to Neeson, Gemma Arterton, Mads Mikkelsen, Alexa Davalos and Sam Worthington in the reimagining of the Greek myth of Perseus.

'Clash' marks the first new project for Neeson since the death of his wife, actress Natasha Richardson, last month.

The main concern for Fiennes now is scheduling. The thesp wants to squeeze in all these commitments before returning to his role as uber-villain Voldemort in the final Harry Potter installment, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II,' which begins production in the fall."

Sounds like good casting to me. From playing evil Lord Voldemort to the lodr of the Underworld, Fiennes has a good list of baddies under his belt.

More news to come! Catch ya' later!
