JANUARY 2014 IN CINEMAS
HISTORICAL AND FANTASY MOVIES
Since your trusted HOLLYWOOD SPY is one of web's leading sites on historical and fantasy movies, we shall spend the last two days of 2013 spotlighting historical and fantasy movies that will hit cinemas in the first two months of 2014. From THE LEGEND OF HERCULES, POMPEI, 300, I, FRANKENSTEIN, MALEFICENT, HERCULES THE THRACIAN WARS, DRACULA UNTOLD and then HOBBIT 3, next year will bring us more epic movies than we've been used to before.
THE LEGEND OF HERCULES
KELLAN LUTZ & LIAM MCINTYRE
The 10th of January will take us to the time of mythical legends with the premiere of epic adventure THE LEGEND OF HERCULES in which Kellan Lutz stars as the mythical Greek hero - the son of Zeus, a half-god, half-man blessed with extraordinary strength. Betrayed by his stepfather, the King, and exiled and sold into slavery because of a forbidden love, Hercules must use his formidable powers to fight his way back to his rightful kingdom. Through harrowing battles and gladiator-arena death matches, Hercules embarks on a legendary odyssey to overthrow the King and restore peace to the land! SPARTACUS star Liam McIntyre is also in the cast, playing Hercules' 
friend and sidekick, captain Sotirus. Directed by Renny Harlin, the historical adventure also has Scott Adkins, Johnathon Schaech and Roxanne McKee in the cast. You can read more about the film in HOLLYWOOD SPY's spotlight on the historical adventure.
I, FRANKENSTEIN
MONSTERS AND GARGOYLES
Two weeks after the Greek heroes leave our cinemas, the big screens will face the attack of horror monsters in I, FRANKENSTEIN. Aaron Eckhart plays Frankenstein's monster, named Adam who, having taken the surname of his creator, becomes involved in a war between two immortal clans in an ancient city. Bill Nighy plays Naberius, leader of the demons and one of the original fallen angels who fell from Heaven during Satan's rebellion against God. LORD OF THE RING's Miranda Otto is Leonore, queen of the gargoyles, with SPARTACUS star Jai Courtney appearing as Gideon, leader of the gargoyle army. TV star Yvonne Strahovski takes the lead female role as Terra!
i, monster... the only saving hope is my girl yvonne. i know mrs. retro wants to see it, so i will see it... the other film though i will pass on, it looks like gladiator.
ReplyDeleteI won't miss any of them :) What I like most about FRANKENSTEIN is Mirranda Otto spreading her white wings as queen of Gargoyles.
Deleteooohhh, i forgot about my other lovely...

DeleteAt first I couldn't connect Aaron Eckhart and Frankenstein together. I guess the trailer proved me wrong.

I've seen the trailer for Frankenstein a couple of times in the theater, but I hadn't heard about Hercules.
ReplyDeleteWe have HERCULES movies coming to theatres this year, first one is this one above!
DeleteKellen Lutz IS a Greek God!!!
ReplyDeleteno doubt about that :) He already played one in IMMORTALS too :)
DeleteWon't go see 'Frankenstein' because that seems unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see 'Hercules.'
Yeah, I AM inconsistent.

ReplyDeletenow, there's a plan
DeleteYes, I agree with you about the red onions. They are nummy. So good. And I love the brightness it adds to the end result.
DeleteI couldn't live without onions and garlic
DeleteSo Frankenstein is like a Gothic Superhero now? WTF? I may have to watch that one just out of curiosity. :)
ReplyDeletewell, how could we possibly miss all the Gargoyles, the flying armies of Gargoyles!!!

DeleteFrankenstein and Hercules...ouaouh, looks great! May be Frankenstein a little bit futurist to me, but the trailer is awesome...
ReplyDeleteTwo great adventurous trailers, aren't they?
DeleteRight!
DeleteI have to create more space in my hobby room for my ever growing DVD collection. Hercules will get a place in it.
