This week we reported that a separate Hercules movie was in the works with Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger) in the director's chair. Superherohype has shared a poster for Hercules 3D. The film has been in development since 2007, and has a script penned by Sean Hood and Hanna Weg.
Here is what Harlin had to say about the film:
It's not a comic book, cartoony fantasy thing. It's closer to Gladiator than flying horses. I think these are very different kinds of movies in their approach to this legendary character. Obviously, Hercules has been portrayed in many different films, such as the Disney animated movie. I wish them luck. Ancient Greek mythology is an endless source of good stories ... Let's see both movies be successful.
Brett Ratner is directing the other Hercules film, which stars Dwayne Johnson. Hercules 3D is set for release on March 2014.
