who played io in clash of the titans
Gemma Arterton
title: Io (mythology) text: fragment of the Hesiodic "Aigimios", as well as in similarly fragmentary Hesiodic "Catalogue of Women". A mourning commemoration of Io was observed at the Heraion of Argos into classical times. The ancients connected Io with the Moon, and in Aeschylus' "Prometheus Bound", where Io encounters Prometheus, she refers to herself as "the horned virgin", both bovine and lunar. In the 2010 film "Clash of the Titans", Io was portrayed by British actress Gemma Arterton. The character was a major deviation from Greek mythology: instead of being Zeus' lover, she was portrayed as a guide and later the lover of Perseus. title: Wrath of the Titans text: Ralph Fiennes, and Liam Neeson would be returning. However, Arterton did not reprise her role for unknown reasons, leaving her character, Io, dead in the film, which means the sequel must have been directed with the original intended ending for the first film which did not see her revived, as was the case with the final cut. In December 2010, Neeson revealed that the film would be titled "Wrath of the Titans" and that filming was expected to begin next March. In January 2011, it was reported that Édgar Ramírez and Toby Kebbell were in negotiations to play Ares and title: Wrath of the Titans text: the United States. The film received widespread negative reception from critics and grossed $305 million worldwide. A sequel entitled "Revenge of the Titans" was planned for a 2013 release, but was cancelled due to the two films' critical failures and too few ideas for the script. Perseus (Sam Worthington), a son of Zeus (Liam Neeson), lives as a fisherman after the death of his wife, Io (portrayed by Gemma Arterton in the previous film), with his young son, Helius (John Bell). Zeus visits Perseus and asks for his help, saying that humans are not praying to the gods and as title: Clash of the Titans (2010 film) text: he declines. Perseus also refuses another offer of godhood from Zeus, who then proclaims that if Perseus is to live as a human, he should not be alone, and subsequently revives Io, reuniting Perseus with his love. The "Clash of the Titans" remake project started in 2002 under producer Adam Schroeder and writers John Glenn and Travis Wright. They wanted to drop the "cheesy chessboard manipulation of characters" by the gods. In the Wright/Glenn version of "Clash", various pantheons were mixed together. The main villain was the Sumerian Sea Goddess of Death and Destruction, Tiamat. Perseus was originally kidnapped by title: Clash of the Titans (2010 film) text: Clash of the Titans (2010 film) Clash of the Titans is a 2010 American-Australian action adventure fantasy film and remake of the 1981 film of the same name produced by MGM (the rights to which had been acquired by Warner Bros. in 1996).

Directed by Louis Leterrier and starring Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, and Ralph Fiennes, the film was originally set for standard release on March 26, 2010. However, it was later announced that the film would be converted to 3D and was released on April 2, 2010.
