Hercules Trailer
This trailer for the Hercules movie starring Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson looks a lot more herculean than the other Hercules movie that came out a while back. Apparently, it takes place after the famous Twelve Labors, but there are flashbacks. I spotted Cerberus, the Hydra, the Nemean Lion, and the Erymanthian Boar. At least we’ll be treated to a Hercules who actually bears some resemblance to his myths.
I’d still love to see a Hercules movie where the hero is called by his Greek name, Herakles. Especially if his immortal father is called Zeus, not Jupiter.

A Mythology-free Hercules Movie?
That’s apparently what we’re in store for with Renny Harlin’s Hercules: The Legend Begins. As Rob Bricken says,
When creating his Hercules: The Legend Begins movie, it appears that director Renny Harlin carefully researched every bit of the Hercules myth… so he could cross it all out and avoid doingany of it.
Sigh.
