Neeson, Fiennes return for 'Titans 2'

BURBANK, Calif., March 25 (UPI) -- Principal photography has begun in England on the action-adventure sequel to "Clash of the Titans," Warner Bros. announced.

The film is being directed by Jonathan Liebesman, who previously helmed "Battle: Los Angeles."

Returning to star in the "Clash of the Titans 2" are Sam Worthington as Perseus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades and Liam Neeson as Zeus. The film will also co-star Rosamund Pike, Danny Huston, Toby Kebbell and Bill Nighy.

"A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus -- the demigod son of Zeus -- is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius," Warner Bros. said in a synopsis released this week. "Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans."

"Clash of the Titans 2" will be filming in studios outside London and will later shoot on location in Surrey, South Wales and in the Spanish Canary Islands on the island of Tenerife. Warner Bros. said the film is currently scheduled for release in March 2012.

In addition to the 2010 edition of "Clash of the Titans," Neeson and Fiennes also famously co-starred together in the Oscar-winning World War II Holocaust drama "Schindler's List."
