Clash of the Titans
FADE IN:
EXT. ALLEYWAY (VILLAGE) - DUSK
Gloomy, last light. From out of the shadows comes --
A DOG. A dog of war. Big, mangy, muscular, scary. As
he moves down the alley, the way becomes increasingly
choked with fallen structures. and signs of tumult.
EXT. BATTLEFIELD - DUSK
TRACKING WITH THE DOG as he comes onto a battlefield.
The hellish scene is REVEALED TO US SLOWLY --
SERIES OF SHOTS:
as the Dog traverses a landscape of --
BODIES, frozen in contorted death poses. This was
furious, hand-to-hand fighting between human SOLDIERS and
nightmare CREATURES, their corpses now in piles to the
horizon.
The Dog climbs a mound of casualties. At the top, the
Dog looks back across the battlefield. The Dog's eyes
are sad, his expression weary and disgusted.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. THE PALACE OF ACRISIUS - NIGHT
The entrance is patrolled by a dozen PALACE GUARDS. They
don't see the Dog pad silently to a fissure in the palace
wall and disappear inside.
INT. THE PALACE OF ACRISIUS - GREAT HALL - NIGHT
Bloodied and battered, the King's GENERALS are
disagreeing loudly about strategy. A loud BANGING sound
pierces the hubbub, and the officers quiet, turning to --
KING ACRISIUS, a striking man in his prime, his handsome
face marked by one crooked scar on his jaw. He commands
the room --
KING ACRISIUS:
Now we end the debate about
tactics... and begin to plan for
victory.

The Dog stares at the King. Then slips away.
INT. THE PALACE OF ACRISIUS - GREAT STAIRS - NIGHT
Unseen by exhausted Guards, the Dog bounds up the stairs.
INT. THE PALACE OF ACRISIUS - ROYAL APARTMENT - CORRIDOR -
NIGHT:
The Dog approaches a doorway; stops to watch from the
shadows.
INT. THE PALACE OF ACRISIUS - BEDCHAMBER - DOG'S POV -
NIGHT:
In the dim bedchamber, the SILHOUETTE of QUEEN DANAE as a
LADY-IN-WAITING removes her gown, revealing the Queen's
perfect body as she slips into bed. The Lady-in-Waiting
leaves.
The Dog's eyes. He moves forward.
FLOOR-LEVEL
TRACKING WITH the Dog's legs as they MORPH INTO HUMAN
LEGS. The CAMERA RISES BEHIND a towering male figure,
who roughly pulls a curtain aside.
In the bed, the Queen is startled, then pleased.
QUEEN DANAE:
My King! Has the strategy been
set so quickly?
REVERSE ANGLE:
The looming figure looks exactly like King Acrisius,
including the distinctive scar. He regards her hungrily.
QUEEN DANAE:
Come to your Queen, my King.
INT. THE PALACE OF ACRISIUS - GREAT STAIRS - SUNRISE
The real King Acrisius wearily climbs the stairs with
AIDES and Guards. Suddenly, the King stops.
(CONTINUED)
3.
CONTINUED:
On the wall above is the huge shadow of a four-legged
creature -- and now it appears:
The Dog stops at the top of the stairs and regards the
men without fear -- its eyes blaze with a God's power.
Even Acrisius, who fears nothing, steps back. The others
raise their weapons.
The Dog comes down the steps, eyes upon them, and passes
close by. No one dare move. The Dog disappears into the
shadows below.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. THE SEA - ROCKY PROMONTORY - CLOSE ON KING ACRISIUS'
HARDENED COUNTENANCE - DAY
staring at --
ANOTHER ANGLE:
Queen Danae, PREGNANT NOW, and weeping. Her arms are
bound.
A ROYAL ENTOURAGE is gathered. The women weep, the men
agonize.
Palace Guards lift the Queen into a chest and chain it
closed. On the King's signal, the Guards carry the chest
to the edge and drop it into the rough sea. We HEAR a
SCREAM from within.
Some members of the Royal Entourage look with scorn at
their King, outraged by this double murder. Acrisius
registers their disapproving looks and angrily turns to
leave the promontory.
WE SEE in his face what the others do not -- shame and
doubt.
IN THE WATER BELOW, the chest rights itself and rides out
on the tide.
EXT. SAND DUNES OF A LONELY BEACH - NIGHT
Two HORSEMEN gallop in the moonlight. The first Rider
sways in the saddle and falls from his mount. He
staggers to his feet, a skin of ale in his hands. It is
King Acrisius, very drunk.
The second Rider, the King's STEWARD, dismounts to give
aid, though he's also drunk.
(CONTINUED)
4.
CONTINUED:
KING ACRISIUS:
(RAGING)
My own subjects condemn me! They
dare judge me? And what emboldens
this treachery?...
STEWARD:
You are mistaken, my King. None
would risk your anger --
KING ACRISIUS:
(oblivious to him)
It is Zeus who warps my
kinadom!... Zeus the ungodly, Zeus
the defiler...
This talk sobers the Steward instantly; he looks about
fearlessly.
