Louis Leterrier is back in the director's chair this week with his remake of the 1981 movie Clash of the Titans.
It's the director's first movie since The Incredible Hulk back in 2008 and he has brought together an impressive cast of Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton and Mads Mikkelsen.
Clash of the Titans is the ultimate struggle for power 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 is helpless to save his family from Hades, 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 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.
The French director began experimenting with short movies from an early age and at the age of eighteen he left France to study at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.
Before taking on his won projects Leterrier worked alongside the likes of Jean-Pierre Jeunet on Alien: Resurrection before working with Luc Besson on Joan of Arc.
He made his feature film directorial debut back in 2002 with The Transporter alongside Corey Yuen,the movie starred Jason Statham.
The film received mixed reviews upon release and made just over $43 million at the global box office. Despite this the character of Frank Martin had been born and a franchise was set to grow.
It was another action film for Leterrier next as he directed Unleashed in 2005, which was written and produced by Luc Besson.
The movie follows the story of Danny, a slave who has lived his whole life without any sort of normal human education, with the mind and personality of a young child, with only one lesson learned: how to fight.
Treated like a dog by his owner/boss, Bart which includes having to wear a collar. Danny has been raised to be a lethal fighting machine who fights to help Bart extort people and later ends up in illegal gladiator-style fight clubs, where he earns lots of money for Bart as the undisputed champion.
After a car accident that lands Bart in a coma, however, Danny meets a kind elderly blind piano tuner, who uses music to teach Danny some things about the world and about being human
The movie was met well by the critics and with a box office gross of $50.8 million it was one of Jet li's more successful Hollywood movies.
Leterrier returned to the character of Frank Martin for The Transporter 2 in 2005, which saw Statham return to the central role.
Despite doing better at the box office second time around the but it still only had mediocre backing from the critics.
After a three year hiatus the director was back with one of the blockbusters of 2008... The Incredible Hulk.
Edward Norton was in the central role and the movie also starred Liv tyler, Tim Roth and William Hurt.
In this new beginning scientist Bruce Banner is desperately hunting for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashed the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk.
Living in the shadows, cut of from the life he knew and the woman he loves - Betty Ross (Tyler), Banner struggles to avoid the obsessive pursuit of his nemesis General Thunderbolt Ross (Hurt) and the military machinery that seeks to capture him and brutally exploit his power.
As all three grapple with the secrets that led to The Hulk's creation they are confronted with a monstrous new adversary known as The Abomination (Roth), whose destructive strength exceeds even The Hulk's own.
The scientist must make an agonising choice: accept a peaceful life as Bruce Banner or find heroism in the creature he holds inside.
The movie was a vast improvement on Ang Lee attempt a few years earlier, and it was great to see Ed Norton in something a little more mainstream.
The movie was both a critical and commercial hit as it went on to take $263 million at the box office, Leterrier's most financial successful movie to date.
But this week he is back with Clash of the Titans, which sees him turn his hand to the 3D craze that is sweeping the film industry.
Clash of the Titans is out now.
