Coming to the Big Screen: Hercules!

He's not exactly Batman or Superman. Heck, he's barely even The Green Hornet.

Still, Hercules will be the next hero to be adapated for the big screen, as Variety confirms that a project tentatively titled Hercules: The Thracian Wars is in the planning stages.

Sorry, Kevin Sorbo fans. But the beefy actor won't be reprising his role from the TV version of this icon; the movie will reportedly stay true to the comic book character pictured below.

It will be directed by Peter Berg, the man behind the camera for Hancock, will be based on the five-issue series by comic writer Steve Moore.

"What resonated for them was that this was character driven, about a character who’s more man than god, with conflicts and redemption," said Barry Levine.

A New Television Spot for The X-Files: I Want to Believe

Here's a look at the latest TV spot for The X-Files: I Want to Believe, though. Enjoy..

 

Matthew Goode Speaks on Watchmen Role

Matthew Goode might soon become a household name in the U.S. This British-born actor stars in the upcoming Brideshead Revisited, while also appearing in next year's wildly-hyped Watchmen.

Goode reacently chatted with Collider on a number of topics, but the excerpt below focuses on his portrayal of Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias in Watchmen...

When you went into the audition, had you read the comic?
No, all I knew about it was the fact that the other actors were involved and that was a pressure, but I had one scene at the end where it was like saying I killed millions of people and then one tiny scene at the beginning where I’ve got a big cat. So I’m like this is such an odd character and it was only when I got to Vancouver, and obviously I’d spoken to Zack on the phone.

Ozymandias

He was a real part of the convincer because post audition he was like…my fears were and this might sound awful…that it was going to be a kind of Fantastic 4 thing and he was like “let me fucking tell you, if my movie ends up being anything like that then I’ve not done my job properly.”

And I don’t mean that to be totally against that film but as in just for me he really put my mind at rest and he got on and he told me what his vision was going to be for it and I was like, wow. And I don’t want to be doing something that’s going to piss people off because he told me how beloved it was and I was like oh God.

That’s a real pressure. He got what director it deserves.

Jackie Earle Haley is Rorschach in Watchmen

Famous child actor Jackie Earle Haley is making a second career for himself, beginning with his Oscar-nominated role in Little Children.

Next, the star is appearing in Watchmen as the complicated character of Rorschach.

Haley described playing the character to Entertainment Weekly as "unsettling." The actor added that he can't do Rorschach's trademark grumble without donning the mask you see him wearing below.

Megan Fox Dishes on Jennifer's Body

We know, we know: most readers would prefer if Megan Fox talked about her body.

Still, the beautiful actress did have some interesting things to say about an upcoming project, the Diablo Cody-penned Jennifer's Body.

“I have a few love scenes. I eat and seduce everyone: boys and girls," Fox said, tantalizingly. "There’s a lot of kissing and craziness. It was awkward, it’s always awkward and it’s never fun."

Fox went on to discuss one of her co-stars, an unknown actor who will soon earn the wrath of men everywhere for his interactions on set with the actress.

“Johnny Simmons and I got really close and became really good friends, so it was hard not to just laugh hysterically and endlessly,” Fox said. “So I’m kissing him and he’s like my brother — it was really awful. He got spit in my mouth and it was gross.”

As far as her work on the Transformers sequel, though, the actress remained mum.

“They’ll kill me if I say anything,” Fox said. “I’ll get fired and they’ll replace me with Eva Longoria.”
