Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson is going to begin work on his first film since the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson.
Neeson will play Zeus, king of the gods, in a remake of “Clash of the Titans.” His co-star will be Ralph Fiennes as Hades, ruler of the underworld. Louis Leterrier will direct the film, it is scheduled to begin production in the U.K. later on this month, Warner Brothers said Thursday.
Longtime friends Neeson and Fiennes have not co-star together on the screen since 1993’s “Schindler’s List.”
The original “Clash of the Titans”, from 1981, starred Laurence Olivier as Zeus.
This makes this the first project for Neeson, 56, since Richardson’s death in a skiing accident.
Neeson’s most recent movie, the thriller “Taken,” became a surprise hit with nearly $140 million at the domestic box office earlier this year. He just finished working on the film “Chloe,” this is the movie he was shooting when his wife was injuried.
