Liam Neeson To Play Zeus

Liam Neeson has signed on to play Zeus in the remake of Clash of the Titans, his first film since the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson. Neeson will play opposite Ralph Fiennes as Hades, ruler of the underworld, in the role originated by Laurence Olivier in 1981. Neeson and Fiennes, who starred together in Schindler's List, have been good friends for years. Richardson died in a freak skiing accident of a traumatic brain injury on March 18. (Photo: WENN)
