HERCULES SET FOR MOVIE COMEBACK
Posted 4:45pm 07/24/08
HERCULES is set for a big return to the spotlight with HANCOCK moviemaker PETER
BERG keen to remake the cult TV series as a blockbuster.
Berg will produce and direct Hercules: The Thracian Wars for Universal
Studios.
The project will be adapted from a five-issue comic book series, which
debuted in May (08).
Casting details have yet to be announced; Kevin Sorbo played Hercules on TV.
The project isn't the only remake Berg is planning - the actor/director is
also set to direct and produce a new film version of the Frank Herbert sci-fi
classic Dune.
The classic book has already been adapted for the big screen; director David
Lynch's 1984 film starred Sting and Kyle MacLachlan. It was also developed as a
TV mini-series in 2000. (KL/WN/IG) *WENN
