Stills from HERCULES: The Thracian wars

Yes...I know I said I was retiring the blog. But If you read that post one more time you'll see I said I'd be back from time to time. So the blog is almost in hibernation but not quite.... Enjoy these pics from the upcoming movie starring the ROCK - Dwayne Johnson.

I even threw in a pic for the game too...makes a nice graphic. Enjoy.

Dwayne Johnson and his HERCULEAN back

This movie looks to me like it is going to be quite an EPIC...great supporting cast... and a bigger than life star. The anticipation is killing me...

Dwayne Johnson, The ROCK...New Hercules images.

The ROCK has been working hard to become the MIGHTY MAN GOD for the new film the HERCULES:THE THRACIAN WARS. Here are some pics I pulled off the web. Man oh man he's so pumped I think he may even be LARGER than Lou Ferrigno when he played HERC in two films. Visually I think this movie is going to be spectacular. I'm liking the Twitter sneak peaks Mr. Johnson has been putting on the web to share with us. I really dig the shot with the make-up guy painting over his tattoo. I'm sure there is going to be a ton of CGI but...not on the ROCK...he's the real deal.

Brett Ratner to direct a new "HERCULES" film.

He has signed on to direct the film based on the RADICAL imprint "Hercules the Thracian wars"

series. No word yet on who will star in the film. But it has been said that it will follow the story line of the comic book and stay faithful and true to the dark and gritty nature. There is even one news outlet on the web stating that Vin Diesel will play a role ( Hopefully not as HERCULES! I won't see it then ) Other reports hgave it coming out in 3D and others state it will be shot in the style of 300. A film I loved by the way. Since CONAN was such a big flop...maybe one of my other heroes can save face. Then of course there is TARZAN with Hugh Jackman...I'm hoping that will also quench my thirst for some SAVAGERY!

" HERCULES 3D " BRING IT !!!

With CONAN the barbarian 3D coming out there are bound to be a group of followers. Just like back in the 80’s. After 82’s Barbarian pic Lou Ferrigno came out with a couple of HERCULES films no doubt to be an answer or even a Barbarian bandwagon jump. The movies themselves were horrendous but Lou’s physique was no doubt simply incredible.
I think ( Back in the day ) Lou and Arnie should have taken their tremendous heroic proportion physiques back to competition. I can’t really say for certain who’d win that time around but in my humble opinion…Louie had the better build. But I digress….ANYWAY…I came across this poster for a HERCULES 3D film soon to be released no doubt with the advent of the release of the new CONAN movie. Who plays HERC in this upcoming Heroic spectacle? I do not know but the more the merrier I say. There will always be a place for Heroic fantasy adventures in Hollywood. Everyone loves a super hero looking all tremendous and powerful . Granted there have been and still are films coming out left and right…IRONCLAD , CENTURION , The EAGLE and SEASON OF THE WITCH ( A Solomon Kane knockoff ) just to name the most recent ( I have to include SOLOMON KANE in here too as I loved that movie ) and there will be several more in the coming years. GOOD!
There is something to be said for a stalwart hero battling baddies with naught but his fists and a sword. What I am waiting for now is…TARZAN starring Hugh Jackman….that’s gonna be good. But first….BRING ON THE BARBARIAN!
