Hi,
Been up there today and spoken to the guard, he says they will be offsite on the 14th Aug. (Camels looked unhappy)

No, in Newborough woods and Llanddwyn/Malltraeth beach. They were filming there 23rd-25th. Some pics below -

Its Friday afternoon and I am right in the mood!

Movies like this are total rubbish, give me Seagal, Norris, Webb, or even any 'incarnation' of Bond.

My avatar is a poor likeness.

Went for a wander round Dinorwic on Sunday and everything is back to normal, very little sign the filming took place at all.

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

Clash of the Titans gets its UK premier this evening, ahead of release this Friday.

A trio of pics from the trailers (viewable at this http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/clashofthetitans/ )

All suggestions where the third pic is would be welcomed!

And one pic borrowed from the interweb, which shows a rather obvious incline!

Vanoord, I think the third picture is Castell y Gwynt on Glyder Fach,

but it may be Tryfan about 1K to the north east

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Cheers, folks! :thumbup:

I shall test Mrs.Vanoord with the photo later ;)

On a similar note, a lot of the references to the filming refer to "Harriet's Hole" - presumably this is this what we refer to as "Dali's Hole"?

I think `Sinc Harriet` might sound less eyebrow raising.....

For some reason I find the 'Marching down the Incline of Doom' amusing.

Been injured while at work and are not to blame?

It's truly hilarious, isn't it? 😉

It's a photo of a bunch of people in fancy dress walking down an incline. Almost enough to make me pay to got to the cinema and see the film, just so I can laugh!

C4 incline is the guess...

Pah! The original was ace. I hate these remakes using stupid CGI that doesnt even look real. They'll never beat stop motion animation. Bloody Titans, they arent even wearing Stenlights, they cant be that cool.

I must admit that Titan is on the "to do" list, but it's a different sort of Titan to the one in the film... :confused:

Didn't you get to be an extra this time 😉 🙂

Ah Yes, but well worth it. My 1st enduring memory is looking down from P2 at my mate Matt hanging at the Event Horizon looking about. I thought "Man, he's a long way down", then I thought "He's a long way off the ground too." It dawned on me that those two facts meant I was a very long way up on a single rope!

My 2nd. enduring memory is just how long that final jug is. That shaft goes on forever, the pipes never seeming to get closer.

My 3rd enduring memory was waiting for Matt at the top. When he called up for a bit of a chat I didn't respond, he called again, once more I didn't respond. After a loud sigh, the words "The b*st*rds! They've all f***ed off back to Castleton!"
