Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's HERCULES: Creature, Weapon & Costume Concept Art
A team of artists at Weta Workshop created some breathtaking concept art of creatures, weapons and costumes for Paramount Pictures' Hercules. It was directed by Brett Ratner (Rush Hour) and starred Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (San Andreas).
Weta Workshop artists worked on Brett Ratner's Hercules, which starred Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson ("G.I. Joe: Retaliation") in the title role. They designed amazing creatures, weapons and costumes. Below, are forty images, which are just a small portion of their effort. You can see alternate and final designs for the serpent-like water monster Lernaean Hydra, the dangerous and massive Erymanthian Boar, the Nemean Lion with the impenetrable hide and the three-headed hellhound known as Cerberus. You can also see costume and weapon designs for Hercules and his comrades Amphiaraus (Ian McShane), Autolycus (Rufus Sewell), Atalanta (Ingrid Bolso Berdal), and Tydeus (Aksel Hennie).
Everyone knows the legend of Hercules and his twelve labors. Our story begins after the labors, and after the legend. Haunted by a sin from his past, Hercules has become a mercenary. Along with five faithful companions, he travels ancient Greece selling his services for gold and using his legendary reputation to intimidate enemies. But when the benevolent ruler of Thrace and his daughter seek Hercules’ help to defeat a savage and terrifying warlord, Hercules finds that in order for good to triumph and justice to prevail… he must again become the hero he once was… he must embrace his own myth… he must be Hercules.
