Warner Bros has unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming fantasy action sequel, 'Wrath of the Titans'. The movie will follow ten years after the story and events in the foul-tasted 2009 movie 'Clash of the Titans' that has been critically slammed for the poor use of 3D and inattentive-incoherent plot. Well, Warner Bros must have some confidence on this one as their best bet would be that this one will be better than the first one, hence green-lighting this risky project sequel. The trailer is coming up right after the jump.
After a decade since the event in 'Clash', the new journey will see a much older and longer hair Perseus, played by Sam Worthington, to embark a new and dangerous adventure against the evil. The synopsis is as follows:

Perseus 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's godly son, Ares (Édgar RamÃrez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus's 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, Agenor (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.
I have to say that the trailer is truly badass. Coupled the fact that they used Marilyn Manson's "Sweet Dream" to accompany this one, it is truly rocking. However, I cannot hide my disappointment with the certain scenes look too cheesy and unspectacular, probably because of the slightly under-par editing job. However, the story could be better judging basedly on the trailer. I don't know, perhaps you have a different idea about it.
Watch the trailer above and tell me what you think. As if you are not having it enough, Warner Bros is already starting development for the third installment. If you are having doubts on this, be not fret because Wrath was shot in 3D.
