andromeda (mythology)
the "clash of the titans" remake project started in 2002 under producer adam schroeder and writers john glenn and travis wright. they wanted to drop the "cheesy chessboard manipulation of characters" by the gods. in the wright/glenn version of "clash", various pantheons were mixed together. the main villain was the sumerian sea goddess of death and destruction, tiamat. perseus was originally kidnapped by an avatar of an unidentified chthonian earth goddess, who planned to have him married to andromeda so as to develop better relations with humanity. the earth goddess and perseus proceed to fall in love. zeus prepared to engage in war with tiamat; taking the aids of other gods (such as thoth, marduk, yahweh and osiris). a high priest named fantasos starts a cult of tiamat that quickly conquers the city. andromeda was originally a promiscuous spoiled princess who possessed various male sex slaves. though the mixing of mythologies and the perseus-earth goddess romance was abandoned, the concept of a goddess enraged at arrogant humans and demanding a sacrifice and the cult of the evil god (changed from tiamat to hades) was retained into the final production. producer basil iwanyk revived the project in 2006 with a rewrite by travis beacham, a fan of the original, who intended the script to be "darker and more realistic". lawrence kasdan and director stephen norrington signed on in 2007. kasdan gave the script another rewrite from the beacham version. but norrington was unsure about his direction for the project because he did not grow up with the original. leterrier, who did, contacted norrington through their shared agent about replacing him. by june 2008 leterrier joined the project and warner bros. greenlit the film. leterrier noted the original "clash of the titans" inspired the climax of his previous film "the incredible hulk" – a battle in a burnt-down courtroom with temple-like columns – and has compared modern superheroes to greek mythology.
