New Clash of the Titans Sequel Set Photos from Tenerife, Spain

A new round of photos from Warner Bros’ sequel to Clash of the Titans — rumored to be titled Wrath of the Titans — have surfaced online, courtesy of the Spanish website Tumba Abierta. The pics are said to have been taken on the island of Tenerife in Spain, and show sets in the process of being constructed. Check out the photos below and click the link above for the full set.
The sequel, from director Jonathan Liebesman, will star Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, Danny Huston, Edgar Ramirez, Bill Nighy, Toby Kebbell and Rosamund Pike.
Story summary: A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus-the demigod son of Zeus-is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Pike), Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor (Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.
While the first Clash of the Titans was critically panned by most, yours truly actually enjoyed the film. I certainly understood the origin of many of the criticisms — you could spot plot holes and character deficiencies — but I didn’t feel they were as egregious as others.
Moreover, I felt that the attacks on the film’s visual effects were unwarranted. I usually have a sharp eye for substandard VFX, but never once took umbrage with any of the imagery in Clash of the Titans.
Late last year, Sam Worthington responded to the widespread criticism of the first film, stating the sequel will be better than the original. He told Moviefone:
“I just think we can improve on it. I think the first one, we kind of let down some people. And yeah, I totally agree. The only point of doing a sequel is either the audience demands it or you believe you can better the first one. What we’re setting out to do with this one — the writers and the director and myself — is improve. I think I can act f***ing better, to be honest… Just take all the notes from people that I have been reading about on the ‘net and give them a movie they f***ing want. This one I want to kind of try to satisfy a lot more people.”
