Coming To The Big Screen

Filed under: Film Flickers

And the comic book heroes just keep coming to the cinema!

The next hero to be transformed from the comics to film will be Hercules. And, no, the TV version, Kevin Sorbo, won't be reprising his role from the '90s show.

The flick will be directed by Peter Berg, who also directed Hancock and will be based on the five-issue comicbook series by Steve Moore.

The movie, which will be called Hercules: The Thracian Wars, is said to stay true to the comicbook.

Producer Barry Levine says, "What resonated for them was that this was character driven, about a character who’s more man than god, with conflicts and redemption."

We not sure we'd classify Hercules in the same category as Superman, Batman, and Spiderman. He just seems more mythical to us.

Will U go watch the new Hercules flick?

    36. 36

      Um . . . no. I can't see Hercules being anything but corny. Over-muscled numskull plods around swinging his big sword. No thanks. Too fantasy-based for me.



    37. 37

      YES!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG Can't wait!! They should bring back Kevin Sorbo though

    38. Jason says – reply to this


      38

      Only if they cast Jason Lewis to play the part of Hercules!! He would be perfect for it!

      NO WAY! Kevin Sorbo will suck. When will they learn that they have make it totally new if its gonna be any good. And I even liked Hancock!

    41. Jen says – reply to this


      41

      It's a mistake not to put Kevin Sorbo in the role. He is H-O-T! A good friend of mine got behind him in the security line at an Arizona airport recently, and apparently, he still has a large fan base because people kept coming up to him for autographs. But yeah, I'd definitely watch the movie.

    42. beaut says – reply to this

    57. Sorbo says – reply to this


      57

      I'd only go see it if Kevin Sorbo was starring in it. He IS HERC!
      I agree that Lucy Lawless was awesome as Xena as well. I'd go see her in a movie version as well.

    58. Gene says – reply to this


      58

      I agree………..XENA movie. Bring back her daughter AND Callisto….even though they're the same soul. But they can split and duke it out.

    60. 60

      haha i loved hercules as a kid. oh the 90s. but now it would just be too cheesy. idk how they could make it better. plus it wont have kevin sorbo :(
      but a xena movie would be awesome. i miss lucy lawless.

      63

      Hancock's direction was chaotic and distracting, it made a ho-hum movie suckier. That guy has no business directing movies. Too bad for Hercules.

    64. Lady says – reply to this


      64

      If someone hot was in it like….. Tyrese or Tyson Beckford or Vin Diesel… With lots of sexy muscle shots of course. HELL YES! Been a while since we have seen a hot half naked guy in a movie where he is not just topless for a few minutes!

    65. mp says – reply to this


      65

      BRING BACK KEVIN SORBO!!!
      LOL

      Hahahahha, that's like saying Ben Hur was originally a 50s film character.

      Hercules is the Roman name for the mythical Greek hero Heracles, son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmena. Don't you people know anything about mythology, culture or history?

      Hell no I'm not going to see this crap. You're right, Hercules will never come close to the other comic book heros like Spider-Man or Batman.

      Yes I want to see Conan…but only if he show much flesh…kevin sorbo will be too old. They need to re-start the movie…hunky and muscular with small thong ;)

    81. lilla says – reply to this


      81

      whyyyyyyyyyyyyy bother if sorbo isnt in it? yes, the show was corny, but i loved it for one simple reason - KEVIN SORBO. duhhhhhh.

    82. Amy says – reply to this


      82

      If it had Kevin Sorbo in it, I would buy tickets in advance (loved that show). I'll probably just wait for someone else to rent it since he's not…unless the previews are really good
