Dwayne Johnson may become a new Hercules
Despite the antics of Brett Ratner and his excommunication from the statement of the awards ceremony, "Oscar", his project for the transfer of the graphic novel "Hercules: The Thracian Wars" is still alive and well and even attracted the attention of Dwayne Johnson. The actor is thinking over the offer to play a major role.

The project came to Berg at a time when he worked on the remake of "Dune." However, a year later, director of "Hancock," said he would remove the "Battleship," so that "Hercules" was orphaned.
In the summer of 2010 it became known that the producer Ave Lerner offered the director's chair to Brett Ratner. The director agreed, but it again put in motion.
