Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson Join Clash of the Titans

"For tonight, we dine in hell!" 300's Leonidas once announced, and it appears Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes will be joining him for dinner. The duo has joined the cast of Clash of the Titans remake, according to Variety. Fiennes will be playing Hades, the god of the Underworld, and Liam Neeson will take on Mount Olympus' top god, Zeus.

Louis Leterrier is set to direct the remake of the 1981 original Mount Olympus-themed film, and according to reports, the new screenplay will depart from the original story, giving Hades more screen time and adding Draco, head of the Praetorian Guard, to the storyline.

However, there's a possibility Fiennes might not be able to stay in the project since he is trying to fit in this film during his break from the Harry Potter series, along with other projects.
