|

Might be good, Harlin is definately good director. Not to mention if done right, Hercules would be pretty interesting  Anyway, gonna be fail probably
| Quote: | "Veteran action director Renny Harlin ("Die Hard 2," "Cutthroat Island"), is picking up a sword, getting some sandals, and getting set to direct "Hercules 3D" for Millenium Pictures. Millennium and Harlin are aiming for a March 2014 release to beat a rival Hercules film -- directed by Brett Ratner and starring Dwayne Johnson, scheduled to bow in August of that year -- to theaters.
Harlin told the Hollywood Reporter that "Hercules 3D" is "not a comic book, cartoony fantasy thing," adding, "It's closer to 'Gladiator' than flying horses." He also tried to downplay talk of there being a rivalry with the Ratner/Johnson Hercules film, saying "I think these are very different kinds of movies in their approach to this legendary character. Obviously, Hercules has been portrayed in many different films, such as the Disney animated movie. I wish them luck. Ancient Greek mythology is an endless source of good stories ... Let's see both movies be successful."
As Harlin alludes, Hercules has been the subject of many films over the years, portrayed by bodybuilders Steve Reeves in the 1950s and Lou Ferrigno in the 80s. The physical feats involved in Hercules' fabled 12 labors make the role a great physical showcase for the right leading man (hence the very muscular Mr. Johnson playing the role in Ratner's film). No word yet on whom Harlin might cast as his lead.
"Hercules 3D" will mark the Finland-born Harlin's return to big-budget action filmmaking after more than a decade of smaller-scale genre fare ("Exorcist: The Beginning") and television. It will also mark his debut directing in 3D. Millennium charman Avi Lerner says, "Now that we have a strong script, a very talented director and the prospect of an exciting cast, we’re ready to move forward with the project." |

Somewhere Kevin Sorbo is sending out his Hercules reel and wondering how he is missing out on not one but 2 Hercules films.

It's a money maker!
Just look at all of those sold out 3D screenings and at the tons of sold 3D TV's.

nah id say its fair to call him a good director.. maybe even go so far as to say hes 'pretty good', especially considering how many shitty directors are out there. i enjoy quite a few of his films.
hes not GREAT though... but good or pretty good if a fair comment i think.

He is ok. the movies he worked on had great potential and he fucked them up.
pretty much like every ok director out there who works with decent ideas and doesn't execute them to the standard of the idea.
look at the watch. idea is fuckin' balls. but instead they put what they should've been doing the entire movie in the last 30 minutes. Fuck that.
And harlin hasn't done a movie as good as die hard 2... and even that was weak...  three took the die hard idea and had fun with it. even though it was weak. 2 had no idea of the impact that 1 will have in the future.... and it just played with the idea of the main character being out of his element kicking ass without going ape shit crazy hardcore like the original.
If you're too much of a pussy to go apeshit hardcore on a brilliant idea then you're an ok safe director. fuck the covenant... ugh... cliffhanger... ugh... yeah... i hope he got some balls for this. cause hercules needs to be a bad ass unstoppable mother fucker.
