"RE-RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!"

Variety reports that writer Lawrence Kasdan has been tapped to write the re-make to the 1981 cult film, Clash of the Titans.

The original film chronicled the adventures of Zeus' son, Perseus, who must capture Pegasus, fight the Kraken and slay Medusa while trying to save Princess Andromeda.


In addition to an illustrious directing career, Kasdan also wrote The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

In other words, he's no slouch.

Let's hope this one doesn't get ruined by CGI.
