Brett Ratner In Talks to Direct Hercules

Brett Ratner In Talks to Direct Hercules

Not Marvel's version, but Radical Comics take on the mythical hero. Apparently Ratner is in talks with MGM to helm an adaptation. Click for the details..

Last year Brett Ratner was rumored to be involved with a Hercules project under producer Avi Lerner. That was shot down by the director himself who said that he would make a movie called Tower Heist instead. Well now Vulture report that Ratner is back in the Hercules hunt, this time an adap of the Radical Publishing title for MGM..



Ratner is flirting with another Hercules project and is in negotiations to direct Hercules: The Thracian Wars, based on Radical Publishing’s comic book of the same name penned by Steve Moore. The script, we're told, comes from Ryan Condal, who most recently wrote the script to Alex Proyas's adapation of Milton's Paradise Lost at Legendary Pictures.


Did I just go almost an entire article without insulting Brett Ratner? Well, maybe I'm maturing. I'll leave that to you guys. Feel free to address the fact that the fat [frick] is directing another CBM in the comment's section.

Thracian Wars? I have heard of this a couple years ago. The movie not the comic. But there was no momentum on the project. And by the looks of it, it will remain in development hell a couple years more.

Wasn't this already wrapped up in some hollywood limbo years ago. Besides, Hercules is a mythical hero, not just comic based. I like the Rush Hour movie series, but Ratner should NEVER EVER EVER go near another comic movie.

As long as it's not Marvel's Hercules then I don't care.

I won't see anything else he does. Ever.

I would love to see a really good Hercules movie. Love herc. But a good movie, like 300 or Troy, somewhere in that area, but I know if this guy is doing it, then it will suck like all the other movies he has done, so no hope of a good herc movie yet.

He's one of the better comic book directors. I know I'm in the minority, but I was just happy the X-Men finally got to FIGHT in his movie. I was also happy he killed off characters because I was bored or annoyed by the characters the Singer set up (ie: whiney Cyclops). I don't want THAT series to go on.

Have you seen Red Dragon? That is a good movie. His buddy cop movies aren't the greatest, but those are solid too. I think his idea to start developing Youngblood is retarded though. This movie could be good on it's own merits. Nobody is even going to know it's based on a comic book.

@SFCamerica - the worst director in Hollywood is Mark Steven Johnson. Uwe Boll would be the worst but he's not from Hollywood.

To be fair, he isn't a TERRIBLE director he is just so mediocre that it's almost worse!

I think we need john malkovich for this role. For gods sakes as long as we have good "actors" in the roles, the sourse content dosent not matter. F-U MOS Casting.

I'm not sure I can forgive this guy for X-3, but I guess that was more scripting/story problems than bad directing...

Guys, if you get the chance can you check my latest fan fic, X-Men Origins: Magneto, out? I'd really appreciate it!
