Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are set to play warring gods in a remake of the 1981 film 'Clash of the Titans.' 

The Greek mythological epic -- due to be released next year -- will begin shooting later this month in Britain, according to the Hollywood Reporter. 

Neeson will play Zeus, the wise yet sometimes ill-tempered king of the gods and father of Perseus (Sam Worthington). Fiennes -- who is reportedly still in negotiations for his deal -- will play Hades, ruler of the underworld who aims to overtake Zeus and rule over all. 

The deal is Neeson's first since the tragic death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, who passed away last month after a skiing accident. Negotiations had already been underway before her death, the trade paper reports.
