Some nice news from new historical adventure
HERCULES which stars
Dwayne Johnson (who recently admitted that this is his
lifelong dream project about which he dreamt ever since he was a little kid): they have started with the casting and the first to join Dwayne is brilliant Norwegian actor and director
Aksel Hennie who will play Tydeus, a close friend of Hercules, who is dual axe wielding madman that is required to be chained while he sleeps.
Brett Ratner's film, scheduled for August 2014, will see the son of Zeus as a mortal with a intimidating reputation who leads a group of mercenaries on a mission after they begin to suspect the motives of their vicious employer Cotys, the King of Thrace. The film will leave out the mythical elements and will portray
HERCULES as a warrior. We shall watch
Aksel Hennie in another epic film -

Clive Owen and
Morgan Freeman - adventure epic following a band of warriors who set out to avenge their leader's murder!
