Warners is Making a Movie Here

15 years ago

They're making a remake of Clash of the Titans here on the Teide volcano, up at the lunar landscape area. Local folks have been going up there to see them making the sets, which are being painted and which look like large stone statues lined up against the lava lands where other science fiction movies have been made.

Apparently the actors will be coming here later and they include Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades.

Here is a writeup with a photo of the set on the mountain.

What fun! Hope you get to see the cast in town. Nice to see Neesun and Fiennes kinda reprising their Schindler's List roles, LOL.

I clicked on the 'translate the article' link and got a good chuckle at the result.

Liam Neeson was also in Krull, which was also filmed partly in the Canary Islands. I've seen several other movies filmed there, including The People That Time Forgot, The Land That Time Forgot, One Million Years B.C., The Mysterious Island, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe. Some of Dr. Who episodes were also filmed there, but I haven't watched many of those. I especially like the "...That Time Forgot" series - we have them on DVD, as well as the other ones I mentioned. I have the previous version (1981) of Clash of the Titans.

Looks like you have it planted next to a driveway. Might have helped. It's awesome when dahlias come back... even better when the variety is of a good quality. Folks who have successfully overwintered clumps in freezing zones seem to have certain things in common: -soil is well-drained (raised above the normal water line), so moisture does not rot out clumps when they are dormant. -clumps are close to a heat-collector, like siding on a house, driveway, etc One thing folks wanting to attempt cold-climate overwintering can do is cover the cut-down stalks with a tarp in fall, and heap a foot or two of leaves or 6 inches of mulch on top. If you reverse that order, you might well find that your buried clump is now chewed out by a large family of well-fed mice that were nice and cozy with all that dry bedding you provided for them.

Select Roses carries this mini climber. Here is what they say on their site..... Remarkable colour combined with the indestructible climbing nature are going to make this English bred rose a favorite for years to come. Our test plant is growing in a boggy crowded area in the garden and yet it never fails to shoot up tremendous fresh growth and roses each summer. I hack of the top of the plant each spring and by summers end its about 8-10 feet all over again. The colour is shocking pink to grape purple, well formed buds and long lasting flowers. The foliage is dark glossy green and healthy. Some black spot can be seen later in the season but it never slows the plant down. Gloriana grows upright but can be trained along a fence or arbour. One plant of this rose will produce hundreds of perfect flowers during a growing season. Breeder: Warner 1998..

I want to remind everyone about these sites. My friends and I all use the sites as they will list every cuss word, and anything at all the is inappropriate, so you as a parent are not blindsided. Plugged in has the most information, but I will often check both. Please spread the word to everyone you know with kids, as I cringe when I see kids in movies like Talladega Nights and feel for the parents who brought the kids thinking it would be OK.

I'm kind fo surprised that Neeson is off making a movie so soon after his wife's death. Maybe had a contract that required him to be there. Must be hard on the kids.

Still, it's exciting to have a movie being filmed nearby. Any chance you could be an extra? What unusual topography. I can see why films are made there.

Lars you know about more films than I do that were made here. But it's true that the landscape up in the lava zone is perfect for fantasy movie scenes.

Pam I imagine the extras may already be signed on by now, but I hadn't heard about until a couple of days ago when I saw an article about the painting of those artificial stone statues.
It's also kind of a long way up the mountain though and I have so much to do down here at sea level LOL.
You're right it is surprising that Neeson is off filming so soon after his wife's tragic accident.
