Warner Brothers has issued a press release announcing the beginning of filming on Wrath of the Titans(still a rumored title), the sequel to last year's Clash of the Titans
. Shooting will take place in London, then move to Surrey, South Wales and other locations. Jonathan Liebesman, still basking in the warmth of Battle: Los Angeles' success, takes over as director from Louis Letterier. Letterier slides over into an exec-producing role. Sam Worthington reprises his role as Perseus, and is joined by the returning Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, and Danny Huston. Toby Kebbel, Rosamund Pike, Edgar Ramirez, and Bill Nighy are new additions to the godly cast. The release also features a pretty detailed plot description, which you can find below. One thing noticeably missing? Any mention of 3D, which we recently learned would again be added in post-production. Clash of the Titans 2 is expected to open in March 2012.
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. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.
Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar RamÃrez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth.
Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon's demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.
