 Liam Neeson: Set to 'Clash' with Ralph
Actor Liam Neeson is now mentaly prepared to start work on his first film since the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson.
Liam Neeson has signed on to play the role of Zeus, the most powerful of Greek gods, in a remake of "Clash of the Titans" opposite Ralph Fiennes. Fiennes will play the role of Hades, troublesome ruler of the underworld.
