'Clash of the Titans' Director Calls Its 3D Conversion 'Absolutely Horrible'

"It was a very tough experience," Letterier recalls. "I was literally thrown under the bus. ... I still have a good relationship with Warner Bros., but at one point it was like, 'Yeah, Louis chose the 3D.' And I was like, 'No, guys, I didn't choose the 3D. I actually told you it's not working. I couldn't control it. I said 'Don't do it.' "

"It was famously rushed and famously horrible," Leterrier admits. "It was absolutely horrible, the 3D. Nothing was working, it was just a gimmick to steal money from the audience. I'm a good boy and I rolled with the punches and everything, but it's not my movie."

The French filmmaker, who got his start directing 2002's The Transporter, adds that he was "thrown at the wolves" during the making of Clash, and that's why he chose not to return to direct its sequel, 2012's Wrath of the Titans.
