We’ve seen warring volcano movies, giant meteor flicks and Capote biopics, but nothing can prepare you for the drama of Gods vs. Titans! War of the Gods is set to start shooting in February for Relativity, while Clash of the Titans is slated for a April launch at Warner Bros. “Both are sub-$100 million projects, though the budget for Gods, at approximately $85 million, is believed to be higher than Titans, which is closer to the $70 million range. The studios have been in a fierce battle to get their product to market first, in a battle echoing the scramble between competing studio projects Troy and Alexander in 2004,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Sylvester Stallone has written and will star in The Expendables, which “follows a team of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a South American dictator,” per Variety. Jason Statham is also aboard and Jet Li is in negotiations to join the action picture for Nu Image/Millennium Films.
Antonio Banderas is in discussions to play Salvador Dali in a biopic for director Simon West. “Film will blend music with CGI sequences in an effort to capture the inventiveness and color of the painter. Story will explore how Dali conquered America and the world with sex, sin and surrealism only to succumb later to worldwide scandal and misfortune,” Variety reports.
