For those of you hoping that Brett Ratner‘s HERCULES, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would never come to light, well, you’re out of luck. Paramount Pictures and MGM have set a release date of August 8, 2014 for the pic, which is an adaptation of the comic, Hercules: The Thracian Wars, published by Radical Comics. The story is said to be a “revisionist take on the classic myth and is set in a world where the supernatural does not exist.” So, there you have it.
Add this to the massive amount of projects that Johnson is attached to, not to mention his on-and-off involvement with WWE, and you’ve got one of the most prolific actors working today. Johnson’s SNITCH is set to debut next month, then the long-delayed G.I. JOE: RETALIATION in March, followed by Michael Bay‘s PAIN AND GAIN in April, then THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS 6 in May. He also has the recently wrapped EMPIRE STATE, co-starring Liam Hemsworth, awaiting a release date. If you aren’t already, you will be “Rocked” the f*ck out by the end of the year.
Is Dwayne Johnson the new Jason Statham?
