THE STORY OF HERCULES
EVERY MAN HAS A DESTINY
Directed by famous action director Renny Harlin (CLIFFHANGER, DIE HARD 2, THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT) this historical movie will see hunky Kellan Lutz as a mythological hero in the love story between the Greek demigod Hercules and the mortal princess of Crete played by Gaia Weiss! It is the story of a young man who comes to terms with who he is and how he has much more responsibility. His father is Zeus and his mother was mortal, and he has a much bigger mission in his life. It’s about fulfilling your destiny and responsibilities. It’s an epic adventure in which Hercules tries to get reunited with the girl who was ripped away from him.
THE CAST OF HERCULES
HERCULES AND SPARTACUS
The $70 million epic HERCULES: THE LEGEND BEGINS will also have television star Liam McIntyre from SPARTACUS (playing young army captain Sotiris, who is initially an antagonist of the mythical hero Hercules. The two of them become close friends before being sold into slavery by a treacherous king), Luke Newberry as Agamemnon the king of Mycenae, Roxanne McKee as Queen Alcmene, Scott Adkins as King Amphitryon, Johnathon Schaech as Tarak, and Rade Serbedzia as centaur Chiron, in the cast.
HERCULES TIDBITS
UNSEEN EPIC BATTLE SCENES
The film, which opens up in cinemas next March, isn't the first project in which Kellan plays a mythological hero - he was Poseidon in Tarsem's epic IMMORTALS. Harlin didn't want Kellan to become too big in muscles for the role, but to only make his abs pop out more. The film was shot this summer down in Bulgaria! The director has revealed that the film contains a battle scene that lasts six minutes all one shot, covering a sea battle and ground battle and hand to hand combat and sword fighting, spears and bows and arrows and flying boulders!
