Hercules The Thracian Wars is a comic from Radical Publishing written by Steve Moore and superbly drawn by Admira Wijaya. It will be adapted to the silver screen by Peter Berg. Most people will remember Peter Berg and the unamusing second half of his last project, "Hancock" This raises a serious question for all Hercules The Thracian Wars fans. How will Peter Berg translate this movie? Will it suffer the same lacklustre ending of Hancock? Will he be able to give it justice? Berg seems to have a penchant for reviving classic favourites like Dune. Now that he is getting his hands on Moore's Hercules The Thracian Wars, expectations should be met, lest he face the fury of the
hardcore fans. It is said that the older the series is, the more hardcore and the more protective are the fans of its genuine lore and value. The story of Hercules The Thracian Wars is focused on the half-man, half-god Hercules, the son of Zeus. This may be a lofty title and would bring to mind power, fame, fortune and all the jazz associated with such lavish names however Hercules received absolutely nothing from his birthright. The only thing he ever got out of being the god of the all-powerful Zeus is suffering and woe. After losing his family and all his possessions, he turns his back on the gods and basked in the glory of battle. Through his battles he finds similar minded comrades and together they journey, battle through battle not caring who they kill but only how much they will be paid for it. Here comes the big switch. Instead of a story that puts Hercules on a pedestal and on a journey to self-enlightenment, in Hercules The Thracian Wars, Hercules is called upon by the King to, together with his companions, train an army to be as ruthless and as blood hungry as they have become. Such a promising story should only be apt to be produced in a similar, epic fashion. Peter Berg has been forgiven for Hancock seeing that the mishap was more on the screenwriter or the screenplay than with the actual direction. So it may be safe to hope for something epic from Hercules The Thracian Wars. Will it be the next 300? Maybe, if Berg steps up the plate and showers the scene with blood and gore. Not that blood and gore is the reason for a film's success but for a story like this, blood and gore is ultimately important. Hercules is after all more man than god. He kills like any other man but he does so with inhuman strength and at times, even cruelty. This movie is soon to hit the theatres so we may not have to wait long to find out if it has the Herculean strength it promises.
