Brett Ratner NOT To Direct Hercules
Brett Ratner, director that was once attached to that Conan project, is now in talks to direct a new live-action Hercules movie for Millennium/Nu Image.
Or, at least, that was the latest Hollywood rumor…yesterday! So, today we’re here to update the whole thing, since Ratner is currently working on his next directorial project Tower Heist, and looks that he’s not very interested in this Avi Lerner’s produced project….
But, we all know Ratner is friends with Lerner (Hercules producer), so, does this mean that previously mentioned rumor could still be possible?
Well, according to Lerner’s PR: “while Ratner reads all of the producer’s scripts, he’s not actually in talks for Hercules, at least, not right now.
Lerner has been developing Hercules for more than three years, and while the project is still in the development stage, it has reportedly been gaining momentum lately. There are already few reports stating that:
Peter Berg to direct a new “Hercules” movie
“Hancock” director Peter Berg will produce and will develop to direct “Hercules: The Thracian Wars” for Universal, a co-production of Spyglass Entertainment, Berg’s Film 44 and Radical Pictures. Spyglass and Universal will co-finance the film.
Ryan Condal will write the screenplay, based on a five-issue comicbook series by Steve Moore that debuted in May through Radical Publishing.
