Clash Of The Titans | featured news

BFI's Movie-Con III is in full effect in London right now and ComingSoon.net's man abroad Ben Mortimer has learned that actor Jason Flemyng, last seen playing Calibos in Louis Letterier's Clash of the Titans and in a small role in Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass , will be reteaming with Vaughn for a role in X-Men: First Class . That role will be Azazel, who was described as a "teleporter" during Flemyng's presentation, but who is in fact none other than Nightcrawler's father!

The race for the No. 1 slot this weekend was a close one, but "Date Night" is claiming victory with an estimated $27.1 million gross over "Clash of the Titans'" $26.8 million take (although that could all change by Monday morning when the true numbers are reported).

Overall, it's a fairly tight race among the box office leaders this weekend with the only newcomer -- Fox's Date Night -- opening very wide so it can compete on an equal footing.

Film News: Warner 3D film earns an estimated $61.4 million -- Warner Bros.' 3D epic "Clash of the Titans" muscled its way to the top of the domestic B.O. this Easter weekend, with an estimated $61.4 million at 3,777 locations to become the highest-grossing film during the holiday frame.

If there’s anything I doubt Clash of the Titans needs in order to be a mega hit, its 3D.

In "Clash of the Titans," the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld.
