Brett Ratner was once reported to be the director of the new "Conan" movie for Avi Lerner and his Millennium/Nu Image. Now it looks like Ratner could make a movie for the action maven based on a different classic hero: Hercules.
According to The Los Angeles Times, Ratner is in talks to direct Lerner's long-developed tale of the mythological god Hercules to the Romans, Heracles to the Greeks. The producer has been developing the movie for more than three years, (last reported in 2007) with the project gaining new momentum of late, though it's still in the development stage. Little is known about the specifics of the new version, though it's expected to bring Lerner's classic action ethos to the larger-than-life character.
Ratner has directed both "Rush Hour" and "X-Men: The Last Stand."
Hmm. Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia, and now this. I don't care for Hercules that much. But, it will be awhile before it comes out.
