With the not-quite-dark-knight success of this summer’s HANCOCK, Peter Berg has solidified himself as a big picture director. That being said, what better way to stay big than by tackling one of the biggest fictional(?) characters in the history of all that is civilized. And no, Marshmallow Man isn’t getting his own feature, although that’s not such a bad idea. I’m talking about the almighty Hercules. That’s right folks, Peter Berg’s next is HERCULES: THE THRACIAN WARS, and it’s based on a five-issue comicbook series by Steve Moore.
Apparently Berg’s Hercules wont merely be a fist-pounding, chest-thumping barbarian but rather a brooding, sensitive existentialist. Says producer Barry Levine:
What resonated for them was that this was character driven, about a character who’s more man than god, with conflicts and redemption.
It sounds like they’re going to have to hire someone that can actually act to play this role. Um, sorry Kevin Sorbo.
Extra Tidbit:
Berg is also set to direct and produce a new version of the Frank Herbert sci-fi novel "Dune" for Paramount

This sounds cool but the only thing I'm worried about is that this man is connected to the train wreck that was Hancock.
Hopefully this Hercules movie won't be just OK in the beginning and then completely suck by the end. |

Aren't they also planning a Thor movie, a he-man movie, and a clash of the titans remake? I guess the whole ancient mythology/fantasy genre is the new superhero genre as far as movies are concerned. |

I was never a big fan of Kevin Sorbo as Hercules but I am all for a new movie with fresh ideas. Maybe this time they can find an actor who actually looks strong and can act? Always thought that Sorbo would have been a good choice to play Thor. |

FICTION...
for *** sake if they're gonna make so many movies out of greek history/mythology they might as well dig abit deeper into the characters. Hercules was no barbarian and his tasks have meanings,metaphors, and lessons behind them....that's why he is known until today.
After people thinking frank miller made up the story of the 300(good movie though) now its hercules' turn to be ridiculed....
Alexander, 300, troy....cant they get one right? lol |

HEY, HERC!
Anyone remember the old 60's Hercules cartoon? Where he wore a green tunic and had to use a magic ring to activate his powers? That was the sh*t.
Oh... don't dump on Kevin Sorbo. Not his fault he got type cast. Furthermore, he was the only good thing about Walking Tall 2. |
