Nowadays, when you want to reference a film that has aged horribly in terms of special effects, there is none better to turn to than 1981's Clash of the Titans. With the arrival of the new trailer for Louis Leterrier's take on the story, we may have to look to another example, for clarity's sake.

The folks over at Warner Bros. have blessed us with the new teaser trailer for next year's Clash of the Titans, starring Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton and Liam Neeson, and it looks, for the lack of a better term, epic. The monsters look incredible (increasing my already intense fear of scorpions), Worthington looks ready to break-out as the next big action star, and Neeson looks utterly badass as Zeus. Put it all together with quick cuts matched to heart-pounding music and this may be the first absolute thrill ride of 2010. Also, always nice to see a Medusa that's not made out of clay. Check out the trailer below.
