FIRST 'HERCULES' PHOTOS
KELLAN LUTZ & LIAM MCINTYRE
Your main treat for today is the first picture of hunky Kellan Lutz in the costume in his upcoming new historical adventure HERCULES 3D! Unlike Dwayne Johnson's HERCULES THE THRACIAN WARS which will show the son of Zeus as a warrior, Renny Harlin's version will see Kellan Lutz as a mythological hero in the love story between the Greek demigod Hercules and the mortal princess of Crete! The $70 million epic will also have Liam McIntyre from SPARTACUS (playing young army captain Sotiris, who is initially an antagonist of the
mythical hero Hercules. The two of them become close friends before 
being sold into slavery by a treacherous king), Luke Newberry as Agamemnon, Roxanne McKee as Queen Alcmene, Scott Adkins as King Amphitryon, Johnathon Schaech and Rade Serbedzia as centaur Chiron, in the cast.
DID YOU KNOW?
The film, which opens up in cinemas next March, isn't the first project in which Kellan plays a mythological hero - he was Poseidon in
Tarsem's epic IMMORTALS. Harlin didn't want Kellan to become too big in
muscles for the role, but to only make his abs pop out more. The film
was shot this summer down in Bulgaria!

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
VIN DIESEL IS A LIVING TREE?
Well, much ado about nothing: all that talk and hype that Vin Diesel launched around his casting in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY ended up with him only getting a one line role in
the superhero movie: according to
'Deadline' Vin will lend his voice to Groot, a living tree with a deep
voice which utters only one sentence to everybody - I' am Groot!
ADELE & ELTON JOHN IN 'THE SECRET SERVICE'?
Interesting piece of news comes from Matthew Vaughn too who is apparently trying to cast music star Adele as the villain in his new film THE SECRET SERVICE. The movie will see Taron Egerton playing a teen runaway who is recruited into the spy business by his uncle, played by Colin Firth.Since he wants to cast other showbiz stars too, Vaughn also plans to hire David Beckham and Elton John. Michael Caine and Samuel L. Jackson are already in the cast.

TOBIAS MENZIES CAST IN
STARZ EPIC SHOW 'OUTLANDER'
We have new casting news for Starz upcoming epic show OUTLANDER based on
Diana Gabaldon's fantasy saga about a woman who time travels to the
18th century Scotland where she falls in love with a highlander to be played by Sam Heughan. Tobias Menzies, who was amazing as Brutus in ROME
and as Edmure Tully in GAME OF THRONES too, will play a double role: he
will be the woman's husband from the 1940's, a history professor who
worked for British secret service during WW2, and also his 18th century
ancestor Black Jack, who is the villain of the story. The main female
role is yet to be cast and the shooting of the 16 episodes (the longest
for any of the Starz epic shows) starts this Autumn in Scotland.
I am excited for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. It could be a stand alone movie. I am surprised about Vin Diesel being Groot. The last I heard he wanted to be Vision.
ReplyDeletehe wanted a little bit of everything, methinks :) This is not official, yet, so he might be someone totally different in the end. There's a stolen GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY trailer circling around the net currently :) if you can find it :)
Delete"Outlander" sounds good but quite frankly, "The Secret Service" just sounds bizarre. Singers usually suck at being actors.
ReplyDeleteyep, 'tis true. Not all of them (Justin Timberlake is great on film too) but most of them. Pink and Lady Gaga currently have films in cinemas, and both are horrible in acting.
Deleteadele can act too?
ReplyDeletethe director seems to think so, but I'm not an optimist here
DeleteUmm, yeah. I think I like the sound (who am I kidding...THE LOOKS) of this version of Hercules way better!
ReplyDeletethe look is sure hot
DeleteKellan Lutz as Hercules? I think he'd do great. Must have been a lot of physical hard work preparing for that role.
ReplyDeletehe was extremely fit before it too :)
DeleteWe used to enjoy the TV show about Hercules, but Ken Sorbo always struck me as an odd choice for the part. Not that he didn't do a great job, but he doesn't exactly have bulging muscles or that macho man appearance. Kellan Lutz looks pretty doggone good, though, doesn't he?
ReplyDelete"Outlander" sounds like must-see TV.
yep, Sorbo was a special guy :)
DeleteI think you will enjoy OUTLANDER, Susan, if you like Gabaldon's bestseller :)
Well, I am not sure if Hercules would draw me into the theater, but Kellan Lutz sure would :)
ReplyDeleteof course he would :)
DeleteI'm sort of out of touch I guess. I'm not familiar with Lutz. Have to catch up one of these days!
ReplyDeletehe's one of them youngsters :)
DeleteI'm not familiar with Tobias Menzies. But he better prepare to be hated. Black Jack does some despicable things. :D
ReplyDeletehe was evil in ROME too :) You haven't watched ROME? Twas a great show with some truly brilliant actors from Polly Walker and James Purefoy, to Ciaran Hinds, Ray Parker and Kevin McKid!
DeleteI like the sound of Outlander and the Secret Service all star hall of fame film sounds intriguing??
ReplyDeleteOUTLANDER will start shooting near you in Scotland :) this Fall
DeleteI'm not replying to comments today or doing much commenting as the Hubby had a heart attack today. It appears to have been minor and he was at the doctors when it happened. I'll do a short post on it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteoh, no, Anne! Is he in hospital now? I will be thinking of both of you tonight!
DeleteHell, when will bad things stop happening!
ditto, all the best and quick recovery and good thoughts...
Deletereally hope all will be well. Anne's family has gone through way sooo much in their lives :(
Deletedizzy for dezzy's post... that guy playing Hercules scares me...
ReplyDeletebecause us, non-aliens, will never have abs like his?
DeleteOUTLANDER should be great. Looking forward to that.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm not a fan of 3D, HERCULES 3D shows promise.
hope HERCULES doesn't end up like remake of CONAN which was also shot down in Bulgaria
DeleteHi, Dezzy,
ReplyDeleteWOW, Adele really deflated! She LOOKS OUTSTANDING!!!! Not to mention Mr. Muscles... Abs look carved to me.....
that is a pic from her Vogue photo shoot, hope it's not photoshopped.
DeleteThe director wanted him to chisel his abs that way.
