Despite being a financial success, this year's Clash of the Titans remake directed by Louis Leterrier was critically slammed and generally disliked. This may be why Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have approached another director for leading the upcoming sequel.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jonathon Liebesman director of the upcoming science fiction action film, Battle: Los Angelos, recently signed a deal with Warner Bros. to direct the sequel written by Dan Mazeau and David Leslie Johnson. Clash of the Titans 2 will also feature the return of star Sam Worthington and Gemma Arteton and will be shot in 3D.
