New 'Clash of the Titans' featurette has arrived

What I've seen of "Clash of the Titans" so far has really impressed me, and to tell you the truth, I am quite excited about the film's 3D release April 2, 2010. A new featurette is now online, so watch it below.

"Clash" is a sort of "Percy Jackson" for adults, and the film follows Perseus (Sam Worthington) who is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), the vengeful god of the underworld.

With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to rescue a charming princess and defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash all hell on earth.

Mads Mikkelsen, Alexa Davalos, Liam Neeson, Danny Huston co-star in the flick directed by Louis Leterrier ("The Incredible Hulk"). In this clip, the cast briefly chats about the film's central characters.
