Don't know about you, but I loved the movie, "Clash of the Titans," released way back in 1981. It's basic Greek mythology; a retelling of Perseus's adventures. And I was always a fan of Ray Harryhausen, who made the monsters come to life with stop motion models - this was before the CG days.

Anyway, like all things, the movie has been remade. You can see a trailer for it here (the official site is pretty slow). What makes any of this relevant to a thread on the Downs is, in the trailer, you can see these flying things (no, not Pegasus) that look a lot to me like the Winged Nazgul in Peter Jackson's RotK.

See any other similarities?
