Louis Leterrier’s not had much luck at the movies in recent years, with both 2010’s Clash Of The Titans and 2008’s The Incredible Hulk inciting bile and apathy from cinema-goers.

So it’s no surprise that the Frenchman is interested in turning to television for his next big project.

The director has long been linked to an adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan’s exceptional, apocalyptic comic book series Y: The Last Man, but production has been slower than a tortoise on sleeping pills.

“I still want to do it,” Leterrier assures MTV. “I’m passionate about it. But it’s stuck. People don’t know what to do with it. I’d love to do it, but I need people to finance it, and the people financing it don’t know if it’s a TV show a movie, or what it should be.”

Aha, so that’s the delay – should Y: The Last Man follow in the shuffling footsteps of The Walking Dead and take to the small screen instead of the big one? Leterrier’s clearly keener on the former.

“You take time to get to know your characters. You can introduce a lot of characters. You don’t need your three-action set pieces that you usually need for movies.

“Frankly, with HBO and Showtime and cable shows, the DVD box sets and all, you can have a product that doesn’t make you feel like as soon as it’s projected, it’s thrown away. It’s really a piece of art.”

Hear, hear. US TV has long been setting a high standard that Hollywood movies consistently fail to reproduce. If Leterrier wants The Last Man on TV, he’s definitely got our support.

James Cameron has lashed out once again against post-production 3D conversions whilst speaking at the Blu-Con event in Beverly Hills.

This time, he had a fresh example of the folly of trying to add another dimension to a flick after the cameras have finished rolling: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1.

"I maintain you can't do a good conversion of a two-hour movie with high quality in a few weeks like they tried to do with Clash Of The Titans," Cameron said.

"I don't mean to throw that movie under the bus because my buddy Sam is in it, but I think everybody realised that this was a point at which people had gone too far."

"You see another stumble with the most recent Harry Potter movie from the same studio making the same mistake - except really getting spanked for it now because they didn't get the film done.

"They announced it in 3D - threw a bunch of money trying to convert it to 3D in post-production and it simply didn't work. They just didn't get it done."

Now, we absolutely agree with the sentiment, but shouldn't Jim be congratulating Warner Brothers for pulling 3D Harry Potter rather than putting out an inferior product?

Still, he's a genius, he can pretty much say what he wants.

And it wasn't all negative - Cameron is all for post-production 3D, as long as it's used on classic movies like Jaws or ET. Which is nice.

God complex anyone?  Clash of the Titans looks like it will be one of the movies to watch in 2010 and the latest trailer is here! I've always been a fan of greek mythology so am looking forward to this one.

Opening March 26, 2010, this remake of the Laurence Olivier / Harry Hamlin film from 1981, the new cast includes Sam Worthington as Perseus, Gemma Arterton as Io, Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades and it looks like among other tings, costumes will be the big spectacle here

According to the details,  this is the ultimate struggle for power that pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Neeson) and unleash hell on Earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.
