With one Hercules film, Renny Harlan's The Legend Of Hercules, already been and gone with little box office glory in the US, Paramount and Brett Ratner are hoping for bigger and better things from their own take on the legendary hero. So who better to lift the promotional barbell than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, debuting a poster for the film via his busy Twitter account.
This take on Hercules, adapted from the Radical Comics title, finds him as a battle-weary warrior instead of the usual demi-god. But when the benevolent ruler of Thrace and his daughter seek Hercules' help to defeat a savage and terrifying warlord, Hercules finds that in order for good to triumph and justice to prevail, he has to become a hero again
