The Russo Brothers have shared an update on their upcoming Hercules film, and that they are still waiting on a script. Famed director Guy Ritchie has been rumoured to have left the film, but worry not because this update confirms that the remake is still happening. According to sources, this live-action Hercules film will mostly stick to its animated original story, with additional sequences using CGI to showcase Hercules’ strength.
Disney had tried its hand with multiple live-action remakes of its beloved animated films such as 101 Dalmatians, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, The Lion King, and its recent The Little Mermaid — with varying degrees of success.
Let’s hope this one pans out as a hit!
