It was just announced that Peter Berg, coming off the success of Hancock, will direct a new Hercules movie. I’m gonna go on record and say this is a mistake. It would be impossible to live up to the standards set by all previous Hercules movies and TV shows. Think about the greats who have filled the sandals of the mighty Herc! Luckily, with the wonders of YouTube, you don’t have to think about it, just take a look:
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Hercules fights a bear in Central Park!
Lou Ferrigno
Hercules Throws A Bear Into Outer Space!
Kevin Sorbo
He may not have thrown a bear, but oh my god he did this:
Quite a legacy to live up to. An English-challenged, bear-fightin’, banjo jammin’ Greek hero. Good luck, Peter Berg!
