Avi Lerner brings back the muscly hero
No doubt spurred on by the success of the muscly-men-in-their-underpants hit “300”, Avi Lerner’s Millennium Films has inked a deal to bring “Hercules” back to the big screen.
Sean Hood (“The Crow: Wicked Prayer”) has penned the script for the film, says Variety.
The saga of Hercules provided ample fodder for more than a dozen Italian movies, starting with “Hercules” in 1957 with Steve Reeves toplining. Syndicated series “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,” starring Kevin Sorbo, first appeared in 1995; Disney released an animated “Hercules” film in 1997. There was also a Hercules mini-series, starring Timothy Dalton and Jamie Croft, a couple of years back.
