601972, Hercules (un film de Brett Ratner, 2014) Posted by ShinobiShaw, Tue Jul-29-14 03:34 AM
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson casted to play Hercules
Sadly Brett Ratner is directing. Now if we can just get this Shazam movie to start happening again with The Rock as Black Adam.

MGM has closed a deal with Dwayne Johnson to star in Brett Ratner's "Hercules," which will start production this October in New Zealand.
Studio confirmed Johnson's casting nearly two weeks after Variety first reported that the former WWE star was in talks for the coveted action role.
Scribe Ryan Condal adapted Steve Moore's graphic novel "Hercules: The Thracian War," which debuted in May 2008 via Radical Publishing.
MGM's Roger Birnbaum, Gary Barber and Jonathan Glickman will produce with Peter Berg and his Film 44 partner Sarah Aubrey, as well as Barry Levine of Radical Pictures, whose Jesse Berger will exec produce.
Over the last several years, Johnson has emerged as one of Hollywood's leading action stars. He co-starred in "Fast Five," the highest-grossing film in the "Fast and Furious" franchise, and he currently toplines "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," which is already outperforming the worldwide gross of the original pic starring Brendan Fraser. Thesp, who's currently prepping for his role as a law-breaking bodybuilder in Michael Bay's "Pain and Gain," next stars in Paramount's action sequel "G.I. Joe: Retaliation."

I have no faith that - even with the Rock in it - it won't be the worst superhero picture ever made.

602222, plenty of non-blondes have played Hercules. Posted by b.Touch, Fri Mar-09-12 08:28 PM
They typically would cast someone with brown or black hair and a beard back in the 1950s/1960s.
Steve Reeves & Lou Ferrigno, for example.

602190, I'm looking forward to it Posted by Wordman, Fri Mar-09-12 03:04 PM
I'm indifferent to Brett Ratner's movies, but Rock is very talented. It looks like this will be the project he needs to make him an A-list action star.

i didn't articulate myself well enough. the script is actually well-written and entertaining, but brett hasn't gotten his hands on it yet. they're starting script meetings next month. i have a feeling that ratner is gonna butcher the material and turn what should be a dark and cerebral action film into some cheesy popcorn movie with chariot crashes. that's the disappointing part

682840, LOL @ Y'all gonna kill this movie, but it's a cool summer flick. Posted by Case_One, Sun Jul-27-14 08:27 AM
To keep it short. If you want to be entertained while beating the heat for 1 hr 38 min, then you will enjoy the movie. It's not about the acting or the meaningful dialog, or charter development. This joint is more about the action and the subtle laughs that keep you going along the ride.
Yeah, Yeah, there are gonna be some Boo Birds and Crying about this and that, but who the flock cares - it's not boring. So just go, take a kid if you can and enjoy the popcorn, fast pace, and cool story about a legend.

682921, This was enjoyable. Good cast, some strong action. Ratner's best. Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Jul-29-14 03:10 AM
He's always shown flair for the occasional action-related "cool moment," but this movie has a good amount of those. It helps that he's never worked with a better cast-- The Rock is immensely likable, and guys like McShane, Sewell, Hurt, and Fiennes are as fun as it gets to watch in a sword-and-sandals flick.
I'll be watching this late at night on TNT where it destined to re-air for a decade. Overall, it works, and fans of the genre would absolutely enjoy. It's better than some of the other sword-and-sandals fare that's come out lately.
