Hennie Set For Ratner's "Hercules"

Norwegian actor Aksel Hennie will join Brett Ratner's upcoming "Hercules: The Thracian Wars" says Heat Vision.


An adaptation of the Steve Moore penned comic, the story follows Hercules (Dwayne Johnson) years after he carried out his twelve tasks and has turned his back on the Gods. He discovers a higher calling as he defends the mythical Mount Olympus from an evil army. He and six friends have become mercenaries who've been hired by the King of Thrace to train his men into becoming an army every bit as ruthless as they are.

Hennie is set to play a mad warrior named Tydeus.

Ryan Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos penned the adapted script.

Roger Birnbaum, Gary Barber, Jonathan Glickman, Peter Berg, Sarah Aubrey and Barry Levine will produce.

The film is currently slated for an August 8th 2014 release.
