Many of us woke up this morning to the sight of an exciting new trailer, for Louis Leterrier's remake of "Clash of the Titans." Other than a footage-lite set visit, we really haven't seen anything from the actual movie until now. And it's looking pretty sweet, as you saw in the trailer this morning. This latest edition of Freeze Frame doesn't make it look any sweeter, but it does get a whole lot funnier. Enjoy.

If every movie trailer opened with a long shot of a giant scorpion, the world would be a far better place. The video below is the debut teaser for "Clash of the Titans," which hits theaters on March 26, 2010. It looks spectacle-rific, an effects-driven adventure set in a time when gods (more than one) interacted with mortals and monsters roamed the Earth freely. If the teaser is any indication, it looks like we'll be seeing a lot of both -- plus Sam Worthington -- come March.

I’m the first to admit that remakes are rarely, if ever, a good idea. We can hardly claim, as a culture, that we prize originality over all else. We’re gluttons for the good stuff. Like movies based on 1980s cartoons? We’ll make more! Y’all like vampires in love? Have all the lovey dovey vampires you can handle! Imitation is a-okay, but giving us the exact same thing? That’s how you piss an audience off.

A remake is just a reflection of something the audience already loves, not a straight reproduction. That’s a hurdle many of 2010’s biggest movies are facing. The first six months of next year are chock full of marquee remakes, releases that are bound to stoke fan ire when they fail to meet expectations. I, however, have a solution for the makers of these films: Kanye West. Just look at his VMA outburst! Give the man a bit part in these five films, and he’ll reassure the audience that they’re not alone in their preferred choice.

Hit the jump to see where Kanye would fit best. Read more...

While there isn't any actual footage from the upcoming remake of "Clash of the Titans" out there, I've got the next best thing for you. On last week's episode of "Behind the Screen," we paid a visit to the set of the Sam Worthington-starring film, which is currently shooting in Wales.

In the video below you can check out interviews with Worthingon, Mads Mikkelson, Nicholas Hoult and Liam Cunningham as well as raw footage from the shoot. So not quite the polished clip you might want to see, but good stuff nonetheless.

I know that "Jennifer's Body" star Megan Fox seems all sorts of sweet -- you know, in a badass sort of way -- but she can bring the rage too. And I'm not just talking about playing a possessed cheerleader who consumes the souls of her male classmates, which is the case in "Jennifer's Body." No, Fox can get angry. And you wouldn't like her when she's angry. Remember kids: if you meet Megan Fox in a dark alley one night, don't, under any circumstances, ask her to sing for you.

"Behind the Screen" is here, giving you exclusive looks at hot upcoming releases like "2012," "Clash of the Titans," "Jennifer's Body" and "Ninja Assassin." Hit play below to behold the awesome!

Today's eBay Prop-Watch would make a lot more sense if the item related to "Clash of the Titans." The original that is, not the March remake that we'll be teasing this Friday at 7pm on MTV's "Behind the Screen." This is the closest I could find listed though. And it's still pretty cool.

Almost 20 years before he worked on the original "Clash of the Titans," released in 1981, stop-motion animation legend Ray Harryhausen worked his magic on "Jason and the Argonauts." Mythical Greek hero Jason and his band of Argonauts -- named for their sailing ship, the Argo -- set out to find the Golden Fleece. Along the way, they encounter blind seers, Harpies and skeletons. Not on the ground either; these piles of bones can look threatening, swing swords and walk in near-perfect synchronicity. And now one of them can be yours. Read more...

This Friday at 7pm on MTV, "Behind the Screen" returns with exclusive looks -- clips, interviews, set visits... fun stuff -- at a number of hot upcoming movies, including "Jennifer's Body," "Clash of the Titans," "2012" and "Ninja Assassin." That last one, from "V for Vendetta" director James McTeigue, is what brings me here to you now.

Unless you were one of the lucky San Diego Comic-Con attendees to check out the surprise screening of "Ninja Assassin," you've probably not seen anything more than the trailer. We're going to correct that on Friday. Tune in for "BtS" to check out an exclusive clip from the movie, which is set to hit theaters on November 25. And since I'm well aware of how painful waiting for this sort of thing can be, I'm here to bring you an advance look at the clip, in Stop Motion. Click the image below to check out the full gallery.

This Friday at 7pm, MTV's semi-regular series "Behind the Screen" is back with exclusive clips and interviews from some of the fall season's most anticipated releases. In addition to getting your very first look at the set of the "Clash of the Titans" remake, starring Sam Worthington, we'll also take you behind the scenes with "Jennifer's Body."

In case you've somehow missed it -- a difficult thing to do, given all the... ummm... exposure "Transformers" star Megan Fox has brought along -- the Diablo Cody-penned teen horror flick is all about a possessed cheerleader (Fox) who preys on the souls of her male classmates while her bookish friend (Amanda Seyfried) tries to put an end to the madness. In the below interview clip, a preview of Friday's "Behind the Screen," Fox discusses a subject that I imagine most of you male readers might be interested in: kissing other women.

Sam Worthington is a peculiar Hollywood story. The Australia-born actor is already a common name in geek circles thanks to his work on "Terminator Salvation" and "Avatar," but one of those films was critically panned and the other one hasn't even been released yet.

Still, there's something undeniably refreshing about a guy who can identify a rotten egg even if it came from his own barn, so to speak. Sci Fi Wire caught up with Worthington during a group interview, in which the actor spoke about "Terminator"'s shortcomings in pretty specific terms. Aside from admitting to the film's complete lack of humor, Worthington pointed out some continuity gaffs that one wouldn't expect to hear from the movie's leading man. Read more...

The first glimpse of "Terminator Salvation" and "Avatar" star Sam Worthington as Perseus in Louis Leterrier's remake of "Clash of the Titans" has now reached the Internet for all the world to see. The movie, which began shooting about a month ago in Europe, will re-craft director Desmond Davis's 1981 classic starring Laurence Olivier. Leterrier's remake is no slouch on the casting front either; joining Worthington are Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades.

The new Worthington shot, which shows off Perseus in his battle gear, comes out of this month's Empire according to /Film. There is also a foreboding hand in the foreground, perhaps that of Medusa, one of the iconic villains of Greek mythology that the hero fights in his quest to save his family and keep Hades from dethroning Zeus.
