Russian bodybuilder/actor Alexander Nevsky (yeah, I know) is putting together a $12 million dollar Hercules project called HERCULES: THE BEGINNING.





There've been almost as many Herculeses as Bonds, including Steve Reeves back in the 50s, Lou Ferrigno back in the 80s...

...animated Herculeses & Sorbo back in the 90s, and the guy who runs our Coaxial section.

Nevsky will play the classic Roman hero adopted from Greek legend (where he's called Heracles).

Nevsky's project is unrelated (except in name and, well, source material) to the recently announced Peter Berg HERCULES, for which you can find details HERE.
