• Another Picture from Clash of the Titans Surfaces

  Fans of Sam Worthington have already seen two photos of the actor in full costume as Perseus from the Clash of the Titans shoot, and now a photo of Worthington's love interest, Io (Gemma Atherton), have surfaced on an Atherton fansite.

  Atherton's character of Io is a new addition for the remake/reboot, and a role Atherton previously described as "the coolest." Atherton also revealed that this version of Clash of the Titans will delve more into the personal life of Perseus than the 1981 original.

  Clash of the Titans opens March 26, 2010, and stars Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, and Danny Huston as Poseidon, with direction from Louis Leterrier.

• Sam Worthington Talks Clash of the Titans

  With shooting underway for director Louis Letterier's Clash of the Titans remake, the first set photos from the Spanish Canary Islands location have surfaced online. Sam Worthington took some time out to discuss his role as Perseus to discuss the movie:

  We've been filming it for two weeks now and I'm more bruised and battered than I was on Terminator [Salvation]. We've taken on Medusa, we've taken on the witches, and then we just kill everything else. It's a bit more brutal. There's no togas, or there's very little togas. I said, "I'm not wearing a toga. Bugger that!" You can't look manly in a toga, I'm sorry. I couldn't do it. Louis is a very good action director, so it's going to be exciting and big, and my job is to bring the heart.

  Worthington leads a growing star-filled cast, with recent additions Danny Huston as Poseidon, Liam Neeson as Zeus, and Ralph Fiennes as Hades.

• Fiennes on board The Duchess

  Fresh from his latest stint as the evil Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Ralph Fiennes has signed on to play a cuckolded duke in the BBC period flick (redundant, I know) The Duchess, says Variety.

  The Duchess is based on Amanda Foreman's biography of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, a randy 18th century British aristocrat who became involved in a scandalous affair with Earl Grey (yeah, the tea guy). The part of Georgiana will be played by Keira Knightley, who, apparently, can't seem to get enough of those corsets.

• Kidman and Fiennes to star in The Reader

  Looks like opening a sci-fi remake isn't enough to keep Nicole Kidman satisfied this weekend. The hard-working Aussie Oscar winner has signed on to star opposite Ralph Fiennes in The Reader, reports Variety.

  The Reader is the story about a German man who recounts his post-WWII romance with an older woman. It was adapted by David Hare (The Hours) from a novel by Bernhard Schlink, which we happen to remember was on Oprah's (first) book list.

  The WWII novel-turned-film romance is well-trodden ground for smoldery Fiennes, who steamed up the screen in both The English Patient and The End of the Affair. Couple that with director Stephen Daldry (The Hours) and producers Anthony Minghella (The English Patient, Cold Mountain), Sydney Pollack (Cold Mountain, Sense and Sensibility) and Scott Rudin (The Hours, Closer), and we're getting ready to swoon already.
