Renny Harlin is set to direct a competing Hercules movie for Millennium Films, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Simply titled Hercules 3D, the movie is scheduled for release sometime on March 2014, roughly five months ahead of Brett Ratner and Dwayne Johnson's movie.
Hercules 3D is budgeted at $70 million and is currently looking to round up its cast for a May shoot in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Since 3D is featured prominently in the title, the majority of budget will probably be spent on the effects, which is important for the overseas market.
Sean Hood (Conan the Barbarian) and Hanna Weg wrote the screenplay, which is described by Harlin as "closer to Gladiator than flying horses."
"It's not a comic book, cartoony fantasy thing," Harlin said.
Harlin did direct Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger, so he's still living off the halo effect from his earlier, more successful, movies. His recent stuff -- Mindhunters, 12 Rounds, The Covenant, 5 Days of War -- have all been critical and commercial duds. Will Hercules 3D share those movies' fate?
