'Clash of the Titans' Blu-ray Art and Details

How does Warner Bros. further capitalize on its reinvestment into Clash of the Titans? Why, by releasing the original film on Blu-ray the same month, of course! DVD Active has the new Harryhausen/Harryhamlin Titans artwork for the Blu-ray, which arrives on March 2nd.

Star Wars and Close Encounters. So I'm not sure I'd be first in line to get this disc, unless I had $35 in my pocket and a real Harryhausen fetish.

He's featured on the Blu-ray, of course: "A Conversation with Ray Harryhausen" joins a "Maps of Myths and Monsters" gallery, trailers, and a new photo booklet. The one negative about so many recent Blu-ray editions is that there's not enough special additional material to go around. Of course, they didn't know they'd need it 30 years ago.

Still, I would think some other interviews would be in order. Of course, you'd basically be limited to Maggie Smith, Hamlin, and Ursula Andress for the cast, and that's not going to sell a lot of units. So maybe a featurette on the transfer from the original film to Blu-ray or something, any post-production changes they might have had to do to make the image looks sharper and more worthy of the digital world?

As it stands, this one's probably just for big fans of the film, because there's not a whole lot else to catch your interest.
