Lee B. Golden III

At the moment, promotion is heavily underway for the upcominh July 25 release of director Brett Ratner‘s Hercules, with clips and numerous TV spots already having gone viral. The film was subject to many a tight-lip during its production in Budapest, so much so that up to fifty people were fired for trying to leak photos from the set outside the ones coming directly from lead actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s Twitter feed, and this week the production is finally unveiling the official B-roll from the set. SYNOPSIS: Based on the graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars, the ensemble-action film is a revisionist take on the classic myth set in a grounded world where the supernatural does not exist. The screenplay is by Ryan Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos. Everyone knows the legend of Hercules and his twelve labors. Our story begins after the labors, and after the legend… […]

Dwayne Johnson Is A Man With A Cause In The New Trailer For HERCULES!

Lee B. Golden III

Action blockbusters won’t be running low with actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson taking the lead this July with the forthcoming release of his newest adventure thriller, Hercules from director Brett Ratner. And if it comes as close to author Steve Moore’s original novel as some book enthusiasts and action junkies like may hope, then you can chalk this up as another successful installment into a potential franchise with a sequel. Yes indeed, there are more books from whence this film came via its roots at Radical Comics in 2009, and with any luck, Johnson might say yes. Well, I hope he does at least. This one looks grizzled as all mighty hell with a splash of chilli. Bring ice. Check out the new trailer below and mark your calendar for July 25! SYNOPSIS: Fourteen hundred years ago, a tormented soul walked the earth that was neither man nor god. Hercules […]

The Rock Has No Fear In A New Clip From HERCULES!

Lee B. Golden III

If this year’s earlier release of The Legend Of Hercules wasn’t enough for fans of sword and sandal fantasy action, then filmgoers will get their fair share of the meatier, mightier character in the form of actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in director Brett Ratner‘s latest take on the character in Hercules. The film just saw its first teaser trailer last month, hinting at a more grounded, grittier approach to the character while still investing in a few fantasy elements here and there so as to lend more to its blockbuster potential. And this week, we can take a look at some more of that potential in a new semi clip/trailer which you can take a look at toward the bottom of the page. Hercules marches onto the big screen this July! SYNOPSIS: Based on the graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars, the ensemble-action film is a revisionist take on […]

HERCULES Lets The World Know His Name In The Commanding New Trailer!

Lee B. Golden III

Actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been real busy as of late keeping close to the pulse of his fans through social networking ahead of promoting his next big screen adventure, Hercules. The official trailer premiered at CinemaCon this week, along with a whole new batch of footage of other films heading our way this summer. And today, the official trailer is now online courtesy of Machinima ETC. Unlike the previously released Renny Harlin-directed 3D film, Hercules takes on a whole new level of understanding for the character which essentially appears to do tons of justice for fans of its lead actor whose early resumé includes The Scorpion King; I’m almost inclined to ask you all which of the two would win in a fight, but I digress! At any rate, the trailer delivers solidly with The Rock’s own stamp of approval, and I’ll leave it to you to decide […]

Take a look: SYNOPSIS: Based on the graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars, the ensemble-action film is a revisionist take on the classic myth set in a grounded world where the supernatural does not exist. The screenplay is by Ryan Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos. Everyone knows the legend of Hercules and his twelve labors. Our story begins after the labors, and after the legend… Haunted by a sin from his past, Hercules has become a mercenary. Along with five faithful companions, he travels ancient […]

Is Kellan Lutz The Next Action Hero?

Lee B. Golden III

While actor Kellan Lutz is not hugely known for action roles, it seems he does rise to the occasion when called upon. The case seems as such for the latest $70 million dollar production push by Nu Image/Millenium from producers Les Welden and Danny Lerner and writers Sean Hood and Giulio Steve. Not to be outdone by director Brett Ratner’s latest efforts with MGM and Paramount, the Heat Vision column of The Hollywood Reporter recently shared updates regarding filmmaker and co-Renny Harlin’s own movement to direct a 3D feature film based on the greek mythological hero, Hercules. The film will star actor Kellan Lutz, who executive producer Boaz Davidson quotes Harlin saying of Lutz as his primary choice. “Kellan has the look and charisma that Harlin envisioned for the character,” Davidson says. “Renny had him in mind from the start, and we are really excited to have him on board.” Lutz, the […]
