When we first heard about Dwayne Johnson’s latest film/role as Greek demigod Hercules, we knew the guy could pull it off. But did we really need another film with the same title character that ex-vampire Kellan Lutz had just played? After seeing the first trailer, then watching it again right after, we said yelled YES! This second trailer just expands the awesomeness of Johnson’s latest project and we’re all for it.
Sorry Kellan. No hard feelings buddy.
HERCULES
Release Date: July 25
Directed By: Brett Ratner
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Irina Shayk, John Hurt, Ian McShane, Joseph Fiennes, Ian Whyte, and Rufus Sewell
Synopsis: Fourteen hundred years ago, a tormented soul walked the earth that was neither man nor god. Hercules was the powerful son of the god king Zeus, for this he received nothing but suffering his entire life. After twelve arduous labours and the loss of his family, this dark, world-weary soul turned his back on the gods finding his only solace in bloody battle. Over the years he warmed to the company of six similar souls, their only bond being their love of fighting and presence of death. These men and women never question where they go to fight or why or whom, just how much they will be paid. Now the King of Thrace has hired these mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time. It is time for this bunch of lost souls to finally have their eyes opened to how far they have fallen when they must train an army to become as ruthless and blood thirsty as their reputation has become. – IMDb
