If you’ve been eagerly anticipating the name of the director who’ll take the directing reins on the Clash of the Titans](Clash of the Titans (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) sequel, then here’s your answer (via THR): Jonathan Liebesman. Liebesman is best known for directing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and Darkness Falls, both middling (if that) horror efforts, but it’s Liebesman’s latest directorial effort, Battle: Los Angeles, Leibesman’s Black Hawk Down-style alien-invasion flick, set to hit theaters next March, that has impressed studio heads at Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures sufficiently to give Liebesman a shot at an action- and visual-effects heavy blockbuster/tentpole.
Salary was apparently a sticking point in negotiations, but now that Liebesman and Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures have agreed to terms, pre-production on the sequel can begin. Given Clash of the Titans $500 million international box-office take, Warner Bros. was (and is) eager to move forward with the sequel. They’ve already commissioned a treatment for Clash of the Titans 2. Writers Greg Berlanti (Green Lantern](Green Lantern (2011) - Movie | Moviefone)), Dan Mazeau, and David Leslie Johnson (Red Riding Hood](Red Riding Hood (2011) - Movie | Moviefone)) contributed to the treatment. Mazeau and Johnson will write the screenplay for Liebesman to direct.Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, Deals, Warner Brothers, Remakes and Sequels
