Kellan Lutz Is Hercules In 3-D

Kellan Lutz will star in Renny Harlin's epic "Hercules 3D" says THR


The story deals with a romance between the son of Zeus and the mortal princess of Crete, who was promised to his older brother despite her love for Hercules.

Sean Hood, Harlin and Giulio Steve wrote the script.

Les Weldon and Danny Lerner are producing.

Production kicks off mid-May in Bulgaria.

The hope is to get the film in theaters by March 2014, ahead of Brett Ratner's rival pic called "Hercules: The Thracian Wars". That film stars Dwayne Johnson which is set for an August 8th 2014 release, and is expected to have more of a fantasy tone.

Harlin says of Lutz: "It takes more than a good physique to portray the most legendary, mythological personality in history — and Kellan has exactly that, personality. He's not afraid to explore the strengths and vulnerabilities of the character, and he impressed me with his passion and heart "
