The relentless and epic first trailer for Warner Brother's "Wrath of the Titans" is now online.

The fantasy sequel to 2010's "Clash of the Titans" stars Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Bill Nighy, Rosamund Pike, Danny Huston, Édgar Ramírez, Matt Milne, Lily James and Toby Kebbell.

"Clash of the Titans" was hit with rather mixed to poor reviews on release, but judging from the trailer alone, this sequel from director Jonathan Liebesman (Battle Los Angeles, The Killing Room) looks far more action packed, with many more mythical beasts than it's dull predecessor. This could be fun.

"Wrath of the Titans" is set for release across the US and UK from March 30th, 2012.

A decade after his historic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius.

Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.

Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth.

Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon's demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.
