"Hancock" director Peter Berg is spearheading a fresh take on Hercules for Universal. Berg will produce and will develop to direct "Hercules: The Thracian Wars," a co-production of Spyglass Entertainment, Berg's Film 44 and Radical Pictures.
Ryan Condal will write the script, based on a five-issue comicbook series by Steve Moore that debuted in May through Radical Publishing.
Producer Barry Levine said the creative partners came together because Spyglass' Jonathan Glickman, Berg and partner Sarah Aubrey wanted to develop a film that stayed true to the comicbook. "What resonated for them was that this was character driven, about a character who's more man than god, with conflicts and redemption," he explained.
