The 2005 made-for-TV establishment of Hercules starred Paul Telfer as the title character. On the show, Herc plays sidekick to Jack Donnelly's Jason (as in, 'and the Argonauts'), and along with math whiz Pythagoras, as they team up to fight against evil in this twist on classic Greek mythology.

THR called the film - and Kellan Lutz's performance as the protagonist - 'lousy,' lamenting shoddy CGI fight scenes and adding that, 'If the strapping but hardly muscle-bound … Lutz were to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the star of this summer's Hercules, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, the fight would likely be over in less than a minute.'įar from the traditional youthful muscled Hercules, Game of Thrones alum Mark Addy portrays the now-portly Greek demi-god well after the height of his heroic career on the BBC show Atlantis. The 2014 release Legend of Hercules was an epic flop, grossing $61.3 million worldwide - not even breaking even with the $70 million production budget. … This new addition to the sword-and-sandal genre seems likely to please the fanboy audience and stir up some impressive box-office numbers.' THR's Stephen Farber said in his review that the film 'is often clunky, but at least it's fast and unpretentious. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson starred in the blockbuster adaptation of the graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars from Rush Hour director Brett Ratner and Paramount Pictures.
