Tenerife’s Clash of the Titans – Watch The Trailer

The buzz is building. A scene from Clash of the Titans, much of which was filmed on Tenerife, has just been featured on the front cover of the UK’s most prestigious movie magazine, Empire and now the movie trailer has just hit the web.

Earlier this year Mount Teide crater’s mind blowing landscape was used as an appropriately mythological looking setting for the forthcoming adrenalin pumping Greek yarn starring Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson. The movie, predicted to be the hottest blockbuster of 2010, promises square jawed heroes, an epic quest, romance, tetchy gods and a who’s who of mythical monsters as well as a healthy dose of eye candy for all: Gemma Aterton in a chiton for the lads, Sam Worthington in a skirt for the girls (in truth it’s more ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’ Greek warrior garb) and giant scorpions and a whole host of super bad CG creatures for the geeks.

We’ll have to wait until the movie hits the cinemas next March to find out whether Clash of the Titans will do for Tenerife what Captain Corelli’s Mandolin did for Cephalonia in Greece .

    This is one film we are looking forward to see when it comes out.

    We didn’t make it up the Volcano to see any of the sets or soak up the atmosphere, it was one of those ‘we will go soon’ time of things and we never did!

    Apparently filming took place not only in the Canary Islands but also Iceland, Ethiopia and (according to Wikipedia) the filming of volcano scenes took place at the Harriet hole in Dinorwic Slate Quarry in Wales – how odd is that?

    Just watched the trailer, it’s hard to believe the Teide scenes are from our rock, looks fantastic! I can’t wait to see the film.

    Doesn’t it? They must have been really pleased with the footage they shot on Tenerife to have included so much of it in the trailer. Did you spot the guys in my photo above getting zapped?
