ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: Stars of the sequel "Wrath of the Titans" hit the red carpet on Monday (March 26) in New York to promote their new film.
As the follow-up to the 2010 film, "Clash of the Titans", the new movie tells the mythical tale of Perseus, who seeks to rescue his father, Zeus from danger after he is kidnapped by his son Ares and brother Hades.
Returning for the second outing is Liam Neeson, who plays Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as the brother Hades and Sam Worthington as Perseus, who said he made sure his character was an improvement from the first installment.
On the red carpet Neeson describe the film as being ten times better than the first.
"You actually really care about all the characters including these pompous egotistical Gods. And the thrills and spills are all there and the 3D is quite phenomenal. I was never a fan of 3D until I saw this one - and I say that with all sincerity," Neeson told Reuters.
Newcomer Toby Kebbell provides the comic relief in the film, as Agenor, Poseidon's demigod son.
"I saw the first movie and I realized that they needed me in it, the sequel," he said, laughing.
"I really enjoyed the first movie, you know, it's difficult when they add 3D on the end it becomes a different film. So this was much more about characters, typically mythology, that's what we were trying to do with this. So hopefully it's better, just fingers crossed on it," added Kebbell.
The 3D film is packed with action, monsters and plenty of fight scenes, however, Worthington says the movie is relatable to all audiences.
"Wrath of the Titans" releases on March 30th.
