Hercules movie

Quote :

"Hancock" director Peter Berg is spearheading a fresh take on Hercules for Universal.

Berg will produce and will develop to direct "Hercules: The Thracian Wars," a co-production of Spyglass Entertainment, Berg’s Film 44 and Radical Pictures. Spyglass and Universal will co-finance the film.

Ryan Condal will write the script, based on a five-issue comicbook series by Steve Moore that debuted in May through Radical Publishing.

Quote :

Berg is also set to direct and produce a new version of the Frank Herbert sci-fi novel "Dune" for Paramount Pictures.

Was he not supposed to work on a Bran Mak Morn movie ?

Yeah, I remember hearing a little bit about that. I suppose it switched teams or its dead in the water. Not sure.

With Thomas' RED SONJA beig steam rolled rather than Howard's, one can only see the state of CONAN INC and their desire for a quick buck, they're even using Milius' Thulsa Doom. Theur CONAN movie is dead yet, and they re-released a 1982 production photo/ poster as a for the new film's teaser poster. So one can only wonder whats going on with it all.

Its funny though because I had brought this series up back in June, and Turd and I had a little chat about this HERCULES.

Hope it turns out good, because I think we need an authentic and brutally heroic Hercules..closest kids had was Italian films with Steve Reeves back in the 60's.
