Another Hercules by BigFo	Aug 27th, 2008 09:14:56 AM
With a horrible accent!!! Love it!!!
Cool! will Cher be in it? by samurai sark	Aug 27th, 2008 09:16:24 AM
I heard she was...
I can go the distance? by PirateEmery	Aug 27th, 2008 09:19:40 AM
Is there going to be a goat-man voiced by Danny Devito?
Did he actually say "before legendary "12 Labors?" by jupstin	Aug 27th, 2008 09:35:11 AM
Because that would sound great with a Russian accent
Russian Hercules. by Knuckleduster	Aug 27th, 2008 09:39:52 AM
Russian Commando. Russian Terminator. Russian Conan. I'm all for it.
Will it push the boudaries of PG-13? by Diagnostic	Aug 27th, 2008 09:42:54 AM
I hope it has a Scarecrow/Ra's Al Ghul type villians.
Meaning an by Diagnostic	Aug 27th, 2008 09:45:22 AM
actual scarecrow for a villian and a guy who goes into a pit to regenerate.
Wow, MAGIC MAN has quite the cast! by brokentusk	Aug 27th, 2008 10:26:29 AM
I can't wait to never watch it in my life.
Molodets by Cobbio	Aug 27th, 2008 10:26:34 AM
This sounds pretty cool, actually. It's unusual to see a co-writer of "Rambo III" and a Russian bodybuilder team up to kick some mythic ass. I feel some funky cross-pollination here that could result in stark and bloody film. Molodets!
Cast Bill Murray as "Hercules" dammit. by Mike_D	Aug 27th, 2008 01:02:52 PM
does anybody know where i can go to watch that snl skit?
Billy Zane by Lost4Words	Aug 27th, 2008 01:03:14 PM
I actually tend to like the guy, he's chaismatic. Anyone else?
Charismatic not whatever else I typed... by Lost4Words	Aug 27th, 2008 01:03:50 PM

I thought Barrack Obama was playing Hercules? by Banzai Rootskibango	Aug 27th, 2008 01:37:51 PM

Like Sophies Choice by Outlaw	Aug 27th, 2008 01:53:49 PM
Hmmmmm...now when this comes out on Cinemax, will I be watching this or Alabama Jones and the Busty Crusade...which to choose...which to choose!
"...will Cher be in it?" by Bouncy X	Aug 27th, 2008 03:28:53 PM
that should be the new catchphrase to be used in every talkback regarding new movies and casting.
Alexander Nevsky ... by DeadPanWalking	Aug 27th, 2008 03:57:00 PM
...Listen to your friend Billy Zane, he's a cool dude.
he named himself after a Russian hero? by Prossor	Aug 27th, 2008 04:40:45 PM
Alexander Nevsky the dude who fought off the Germans in the middle ages. great Eisenstein flick as well. Speaking of Russian fables and tales they are even more interesting than British lore. King Arthur and all seem like stale shit cmopared to some of those Eastern european stories.
not "Rising"? by I Dunno	Aug 27th, 2008 04:44:05 PM
Why isn't Hercules rising? Everyone rises nowadays. If it's Hercules:The Beginning, how can they use the tag line, "Every myth has a beginning"? It would be redundant! There is a definitive paint by numbers procedure for bullshit prequels.
That sketch was fucking kickass, Mike_D by I Dunno	Aug 27th, 2008 04:46:46 PM
Holy shit, that was probably 20 years ago.
Ah, but it is "based on the rising of Hercules" by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Aug 27th, 2008 05:27:17 PM
Based on the true story of This Summer, Half-man, Half-god, ALL WARRIYAH, Rising Soon, In a Theatre Near You
I hear that, Mike D. by Darkman	Aug 27th, 2008 06:15:48 PM
"The MIGHTY Hercules. What a disappointment." "I'd like to see you try it." "The MIGHTY Hercules." "Stop saying, 'The Mighty Hercules'."
Lost4Words... by DanielKurland	Aug 27th, 2008 07:07:35 PM
I really like Billy Zane. I don't think any of his movies are that good, but I enjoying watching him act. Dead Calm is enjoyable, but mostly his role on Twin Peaks is what got me interested in him.
Armand Asante! by purplemonkeydw	Aug 27th, 2008 08:16:18 PM
yes, count me in...i hope i get to hear voice over guy say his name...it's exciting!
Samuel L. Jackson as Hercules..... by C.K. Lamoo	Aug 28th, 2008 02:49:43 PM
Someone get those Motherfuckin' snakes out of my Motherfuckin' cradle.
Where's hell is the Sorbo series Box set? by Drath	Sep 4th, 2008 11:14:24 PM
I'll be honest, as a fan of Greek Myth, I hate these movies, and even the Sorbo series was painful most of the time, but at least it was fun for a yuck. Until those idiots making movies get it right and get STARS to play the Greek Gods, there's no point here either. I'll grant you, Zeus is hard one to cast nowadays. Only someone like Christopher Lee could probably play that part. But how do you not get Hugh Jackman as Ares or Michelle Pfeipher as Athena? Oh fine, sure, they're not GREEK enough. Fuck.
