Ratner Developing Radical's "Hercules"

Director Brett Ratner ("Tower Heist") will adapt Radical Publishing's "Hercules" comic book series "The Thracian Wars" and "The Knives Of Kush" (written by Steve Moore, illustrated by Cris Bolsin, Jim Steranko), into a live action MGM feature :


"...fourteen-hundred years ago, a tormented soul walked the Earth that was neither man nor god. 'Hercules', powerful son of the god king 'Zeus', received nothing but suffering his entire life. After twelve arduous labors and the loss of his family, this dark, world-weary soul turned his back on the gods, finding his only solace in battle.

"Over the years he warmed to the company of six similar souls. These men and woman never question where, why, or whom they go to fight; only how much they will be paid. Knowing this, the King of Thrace has hired these mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time. But Hercules begins to question the motives of 'King Cotys', when he takes his army out to battle and sees them 'practice' on the innocent men, women and children of their neighbors.

"Deep in his soul something stirs, but is it enough to stop a mad king and his army of the damned from marching across Greece - or even Olympus itself ?..."

Screenplay is by Ryan Condol for producers Roger Birnbaum, Gary Barber, Jonathan Glickman, Peter Berg, Sarah Aubrey, Barry Levine and Jesse Berger.

"The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior 'Queen Andromeda' (Pike), Poseidon's demigod son, Argenor (Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind..."
