Wrath of the Titans, the sequel to 2010's Clash of the Titans, has a lot of "new" going for it. Director Jonathan Liebesman has taken over for Louis Leterrier. Unlike the first, which was written by Travis Beacham, Phil Hay, and Matt Manfredi, the sequel was scripted by Dan Mazeau, David Johnson, and Steven Knight. Hell, Rosamund Pike has even come in to replace Alexa Davalos as Andromeda. But while the personnel behind the film may have changed, we can likely expect that the aesthetics will stay largely the same. Need proof? Check out the first look at the film and tell me if you can honestly differentiate the image from any in the first movie.

Entertainment Weekly has run the first image from their film and you can check it out below. To see it full size, head over to The Playlist.



I will admit that one thing that has changed is the length of Sam Worthington's hair, which is considerably longer than the buzz cut he was rocking in Clash of the Titans. Other than that, however, the leather, metal and sand all pretty much looks the same.

Set 10 years after the events of the first film, Wrath of the Titans follows Perseus (Worthington) as he goes on a quest to rescue Zeus (Liam Neeson) from Hades after he has been betrayed by both the god of the underworld (Ralph Fiennes) and the god of war, Ares (Edgar Ramirez). The sequel's impressive cast also includes Bill Nighy, Danny Huston, Toby and Kebbell. The movie will arrive in theaters on March 30, 2012.
