After debuting in Entertainment Weekly earlier in the month – then subsequently finding its way online in low-res scan form – Warner Bros has released online this first official hi-res still of Sam Worthington as Persues in Jonathan Liebesman’s (Battle: Los Angeles) ‘Clash Of the Titans’ sequel, ‘Wrath of the Titans.’ Warner Bros has pencilled in a March 30th, 2012 release date for ‘Wrath Of The Titans.’ Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, Danny Huston, Edgar Ramiez, Bill Nighy, Toby Kebbell, and Rosamund Pike are set to star.
A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans.
