Variety reports that Peter Berg, who recently helmed
Hancock and directed the impressive
The Kingdom, has agreed to take on
Hercules: The Thracian Wars. No doubt, as
Variety might put it, that the production values and perfs will be stellar across the board. Nevertheless, there will be enormous pressure for Berg to match the greatness of the original
Hercules, which I was privileged to see in a movie theater in 1983. Somehow I doubt Berg will find anyone to match the depth of
Lou Ferrigno.
Steve Reeves, RIP.
