Paramount and MGM have premiered the first Hercules trailer and poster for your consumption and judgment. The film stars Dwayne Johnson and is based on the Radical Studios’ graphic novel “Hercules: The Thracian Wars”, a revisionist take on the classic myth taking place nearly 3,200 years ago, where Hercules (Johnson), powerful son of the god-king Zeus and the King of Thrace, has hired mercenaries to turn his men into the greatest army of all time, which means training them to be as bloodthirsty and ruthless as their own reputation.
Directed by Brett Ratner, the film is a bit of a sausage fest as it co-stars Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes, Peter Mullan and John Hurt.
Hercules hits theaters on July 25, check out the trailer and poster below.
