Updating on the post-production status of the film, Hercules 3D director Renny Harlin talks more about the fantasy action movie's origin and love centered storyline, the action, star Kellan Lutz and more.
Speaking with Superhero Hype, director Renny Harlin talks more about his upcoming action/fantasy film Hercules 3D. He confirms that the movie, which stars Kellan Lutz as the mythological character, is now in post-production and he will turn turn in his cut in six weeks. He also discusses the film's storyline, saying that the origin tale is also a "great love story" at the center and that those who are unfamiliar with Hercules will see this as a proper introduction to the character. Harlin also gets into Hercules 3D's plot, action and scale.
"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. 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."
Hercules 3D stars Kellan Lutz, Liam McIntyre, Gaia Weiss and Scott Adkins. The film is targeting a March 2014 release date.
