When I was looking at a list of what movies are coming out in January of 2014, I saw “The Legend of Hercules” listed and thought it was a children’s animated series. Before I watched the trailer, I wasn’t expecting an action packed movie which looks similar to Gladiator.
The film is an Amercian action film and was directed by Renny Harlin and co-written by Daniel Giat, Sean Hood and Giulio Steve. Starring in the film are Kellan Lutz as Hercules, Gaia Weiss as Hebe, Scott Adkins as King Amphitryon, Roxanne McKee as Queen Alcmene, Liam Garrigan as Iphicles, Liam McIntyre as Sotiris, Jonathon Schaech as Tarak and many others.
It’s based on the original story of Hercules who was betrayed by the King, his stepfather and sold into slavery because of forbidden love. Hercules then uses his strength and powers to fight his way back to his rightful kingdom and become a Greek hero. Through many endless battles and death matches in a gladiator-arena, he embarks on an epic tale and a legendary adventures to overthrow his stepdad as king to restore the peace among his people.
The movie is scheduled to be released into theaters nation-wide Friday, Jan. 1o.
