Natasha Richardson would be proud. Two of her favorite men- husband Liam Neeson and good friend Ralph Fiennes- are teaming up for their next movie following her tragic passing. The two will play warring gods in Clash of the Titans, an epic about the Greek gods.
Neeson will play Zeus, the wise but ill-tempered king of the gods while Fiennes will play Hades, ruler of the underworld who tries to take on Zeus in hopes of dominating everything. Fiennes' deal is in still in negotiations.
The production will begin in late April in the United Kingdom. Neeson was in talks for the role before Richardson’s fatal accident and can at least revel in the fact that his last film Taken was a surprise hit, earning nearly $140 million. (Photo: WENN)
