I love the original Clash of the Titans. I saw that film in the theaters many times as a kid. Harryhausen's work never loses its charm.
To make everything even more "realistic" today takes away that charm and spectacle. Hollywood goes out of their way to make everything as uninteresting as possible. Too many emo kids working in Hollywood?
Cheer up, emo kid!

Though, I don't think "Clash" was Ray's best movie, still, I don't see the necessity. I do tend to think this was something of a bad effect the "King Kong" remake had. Some believe that now that Kong was remade, why not do the same for a Harryhausen flick? I will keep saying it - remaking a Harryhausen film and replacing his stop-motion, is like remaking a Chaplin film, but without Chaplin!

Okay that's it
"Load up on every weapon you can find so that we can go to Hollywood and raze it to the ground".
Okay dumb joke but with all of these remakes, can anyone blame me.

Definitely agree with the general sentiment - a Clash of the Titans remake is not needed. Do a new adaptation of the myth sure, but don't do a remake to try and capitalize on the original's renown.
Speaking of Clash of the Titans - I picked up the DVD a little while back. I have seen the movie plenty of times growing up and expected my first time watching the DVD to be a nice trip down memory lane, imagine my surprise/shock when there were a couple additional scenes I had never ever seen before.
First, baby Perseus being breast-fed by Danae. Second, Danae and a young Perseus taking a walk along the beach, completely nude. And third, Andromeda rising from her bath shortly before she was to be sacrificed to the Kraken.
Were these scenes in the original theatrical release of the movie and someone used film elements with the scenes intact for the DVD or were the scenes cut from the film when it made it's way to TV [even cable channels]?.

From cinematical:
War of the Gods plot description from :
[quote] “A purported basterd who retains an allegiance to his mother despite the fact that he longs to join the quest of a king who is battling demons in ancient Greece later embarks on a grail of discovery that has him finding he is the king’s son and also fated to become his country’s greatest hero as he leads the successful war against long-imprisoned Titans who are hoping to use the demons to restore their power.â€
