Harlin spoke with Superhero Hype about the film:
"The action is really big and fun, but at the heart of it all is a great love story. This is an origin story, that introduces him to people who might not know who Hercules is or it's for those who have a cartoon-y idea of who he is, carrying around big things."
Brett Ratner's rival pic called "Hercules: The Thracian Wars" stars Dwayne Johnson is taking a gritty, no gods approach to the material, Harlin's version is aiming for something on a grander scale.
"This is the story of a young man who comes to terms with who he is and how he has much more responsibility. His father is Zeus and his mother was mortal, and he has a much bigger mission in his life. It's about fulfilling your destiny and responsibilities. It's an epic adventure story and he wants to be reunited with this girl who was ripped away from him. We have some amazing actors. You're going to see Kellan Lutz in a way you've never seen. It's just a big scale story and I'm excited to show the world next spring. I have a battle scene that lasts six minutes that is all one shot. [It] covers a sea battle and ground battle and hand to hand combat and sword fighting, spears and bows and arrows and flying boulders, all done in one shot that never cuts. I’ll give you that spoiler. That’s one of the biggest shots I’ve ever created."
Sean Hood, Harlin and Giulio Steve wrote the script.
Les Weldon and Danny Lerner are producing.
The film is currently in post-production and will be delivered to the studio in the early Fall
