Director Brett Ratner and Producer Avi Lerner are creating a film to tell the epic story of the classic Greek hero, Hercules. The project is still in the development stage and there is little information available yet.
Mythology has been a hit at the global box office. “Clash of the Titans” made nearly half a billion dollars around the world, which led to a sequel, “Prince of Persia” that was a huge hit overseas.
The LA times points out that the story of Hercules has been the theme of several foreign films, and Disney made an animated movie in the 1990s, but the character hasn’t had a live-action American treatment since the mid-1980s, when Lou Ferrigno played the character. Even yours truly, Arnold Schwarzenegger played Hercules 40 years ago in “Hercules in New York.”
Who do you think would make a good hero for the new and upcoming Ratner/Lerner version of Hercules?
