Back in the day…actually way back in the day Arnold Schwarzenegger played Hercules. Ok, while the Arnie version was in a modern day New York, Dwayne The Rock Johnson is going down a different route. It will based on Radical Studios’ Hercules: The Thracian Wars, created by Steve Moore.
The story sees the Thracian King get Hercules and a few of his mates to whip the army into shape and soon, Herc finds that he’s fallen from grace and needs to do a bit of god knows what to find himself again..or whatever.
Brett Ratner will direct and the movie will start shooting early in 2013 once the rest of the cast is signed. Dwayne Johnson has an incredible on screen presence and this role should be a blast for the one time WWE champ. Even if you look at the Warrior King etc. he does rock that old school warrior bad ass exceptionally well!
