Fans who were worried that they’d be forced to choose between RoboCop and Hercules can rest easy now. Summit Entertainment has moved Hercules: The Legend Begins to January 10, allowing fans to no longer have to choose between their favorite potential reboot.
Hercules: The Legend Begins is directed by Renny Harlin (Exorcist: The Beginning, Die Hard 2) and stars Kellan Lutz as the legendary demigod of Greek mythology. In this version, the son of Zeus is betrayed by his king and sold into slavery, from which he must wage battle for the freedom to return to the woman he loves, Princess Hebe of Crete (Gaia Weiss). And if that doesn’t sound enough like Starz’s take on Spartacus to you, keep in mind that they have cast the network’s second Spartacus, Liam McIntyre in the film! Action geek icon Scott Adkins is also in attendance for the Greko throwdowns.
Hercules: The Legend Begins truly begins on January 10, 2014.
