Last year Brett Ratner was rumored to be involved with a Hercules project under producer Avi Lerner. That was shot down by the director himself who said that he would make a movie called Tower Heist instead. Well now Vulture report that Ratner is back in the Hercules hunt, this time an adap of the Radical Publishing title for MGM..



Ratner is flirting with another Hercules project and is in negotiations to direct Hercules: The Thracian Wars, based on Radical Publishing’s comic book of the same name penned by Steve Moore. The script, we're told, comes from Ryan Condal, who most recently wrote the script to Alex Proyas's adapation of Milton's Paradise Lost at Legendary Pictures.


Did I just go almost an entire article without insulting Brett Ratner? Well, maybe I'm maturing. I'll leave that to you guys. Feel free to address the fact that the fat [frick] is directing another CBM in the comment's section.
