In the coming year we should definitely plan on hearing a lot of announcements about this or that giant effects movie getting the 3D treatment, because hey, Avatar didn't make a heck-ton of money just by selling regular priced tickets. So we may fondly look back upon the first half of 2009 as the last time when every single big-budget action movie wasn't popping out of the screen at us.
Along with Iron Man 2, it seems that 3D glasses won't be required to watch Clash of the Titans either-- director Louis Leterrier told MTV that he "tried hard" to get the film ready in 3D, but simply didn't have the time. "Maybe we possibly can re-release it in 3D," he added, speaking more like a producer than a director.
Leterrier also had an update on the story that hit a few days ago about rock group Muse providing the music for the soundtrack. Basically, the story was a load of crap.
"It was not Muse ever, it was Matt Bellamy [who I spoke to about providing music]. I love Muse, I'm the biggest Muse fan ever, but I wanted something a little different," Leterrier explained. "[Matt] wrote a lot of stuff, but he started his tour. So not so long ago, he called me and he was like 'Louis, I'm so sorry. I have to be respectful to my audience and professional and I have to stop on 'Clash.'"
Craig Armstrong, who wrote the score for The Incredible Hulk, always planned to be on board for the music process as well, and now he'll be working with Neil Davidge of the band Massive Attack, basically filling in the role that Bellamy would have had.
