A 'Twilight' Star Will Shake the Foundations of Olympus in 'Hercules 3D'

By Mike Bracken Apr 05, 2013

You probably already knew that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has signed on to play Hercules in Brett Ratner’s upcoming film about the son of Zeus, but today we’ve learned who’ll be donning the sword and sandals in Renny Harlin’s rival production, Hercules 3D.

Twilight actor Kellan Lutz has landed the lead in Nu Image’s take on the mythological hero – and while he’s not anywhere near as ripped as the Rock, director Renny Harlin says size is irrelevant.

“It takes more than a good physique to portray the most legendary, mythological personality in history — and Kellan has exactly that, personality. He's not afraid to explore the strengths and vulnerabilities of the character, and he impressed me with his passion and heart."

While that might be true on some levels, if I’m given the choice between the Rock and Kellan Lutz I’m going with the Rock 10 times out of 10. No offense to Lutz, but Hercules is a big, buff dude who’s the strongest man around. I don't buy that when I look at Lutz.

Of course, this casting might work – because it appears that Harlin’s film will focus on the romance between the son of Zeus and “the mortal princess of Crete, who has been promised to his older brother.” We’re sure Harlin and company will work some action into that, but maybe his take is looking to be a little more story-focused than just mindless action. We don’t know for sure, because the script details are being kept secret. Another thing working in Lutz's favor? He's already got mythological experience: the actor played Poseidon in Tarsem Singh's The Immortals. 

Can Kellan Lutz pull this off? Is he big enough to play a convincing Hercules? Are we going to have another giant-sized debate a la Jason Momoa as Conan? Only time will tell. Start the discussion by weighing in on all this Hercules news in the comment section.

Learn How to Make a Skateboard Movie

AppId is over the quota AppId is over the quota

Ryan Decenzo, Torey Pudwill, Ryan Sheckler, Zered Bassett are four of the best skateboarders right now. Red Bull wanted to follow them for its Red Bull Perspective project, to invite audiences to experience what it would be like to skate. Director Nicholas Schrunk and crew flew to each of the skater's hometowns to film them in their element and find out what skateboarding means to them.

In the trailer, we get to see the incredible equipment used behind the scenes to capture the guys in action. Anamorphic lenses offered the viewer a wide frame to be part of the action and lent a cinematic quality to the video. A Phantom camera that shoots up to 4,000 frames per second on a "super slider" captured real-time, slow-motion shots of the skaters in midair. A homemade cable camera gave a bird's-eye view of the guys skating the streets. Also on scene was well-known skate camera operator Ricki Bedenbaugh. It's a cool overview of everyone's collaborative efforts behind the camera and on-screen. Watch the making of the movie below, and visit Red Bull's website for more details about the Perspective project.

You can watch the resulting film there, too. In related news, we know cat-bike guy has his own commercial now, but how long do we have to wait for their behind-the-scenes movie? Answer: too long.

Listen: Molly Ringwald Sings a Jazzy Version of 'The Breakfast Club''s 'Don't You (Forget About Me)'
By Alison Nastasi Apr 10, 2013
I'm not one of those people that are vehemently opposed to jazz music — the kind of person that simply hears the words and their entire body coils in horror. Would jazz be more palatable to the haters if someone like Molly Ringwald were crooning a version of Simple Minds' "Don't You (Forget About Me)?" The actress covered the song for her new album Except Sometimes
. The track was featured in John Hughes' The Breakfast Club — a movie that helped make Molly a 1980s teen idol.
"When I recorded the album… it was really soon after John Hughes passed away. And he was in my mind a lot," the star told Vulture. "I felt like I wanted to sing a tribute to him. And also, I wanted to incorporate who I was into who I am. You know what I mean? Not that I’ve changed, but I feel like I’ve evolved. And I think the song represents that in a way. It’s the same song but imagined in a different way, and more along the lines of stuff that I’m doing now."
We didn't know Ringwald was a singer, so that was a pleasant surprise. The standard is performed with the kind of tenderness you can't help but be somewhat charmed by. I've heard others say it's a bit depressing — an actress clinging to her once great past. However, Ringwald was born from jazz. Her father is the blind jazz pianist Bob Ringwald, and she recorded an album with him when she was only six years old. Ringwald has also been active on television, in The Secret Life of the American Teenager
most recently. Let us know what you make of her "who I was/who I am" cover, below.
If you'd like to learn more about jazz, check out musician and writer Ted Gioia's website. He offers some great recommendations in the genre.http://m.comingsoon.im/

Movie News: Fiery 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Photo; 'Django Unchained' Diluted for China; Explosive 'Java Heat' Trailer

By Peter Martin Apr 10, 2013

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Director Marc Webb tweeted a fiery photo from the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which he described with the caption: "Day 45. This is what happens when you try to give Electro a ticket." Jamie Foxx plays the villainous Electro opposite Andrew Garfield as the heroic Peter Parker. The movie also stars Emma Stone, Shailene Woodley and Dane DeHaan, and is due for release on May 2, 2014. [Twitter via SuperHero Hype]

Django Unchained: Hollywood studios have become increasingly willing to adjust their films so as to qualify for distribution in China, and the latest example is Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. According to the Mainland China distributor, Tarantino is making “slight adjustments... such as tuning the blood to a darker color, or lowering the height of the splatter of blood.” The movie’s running time will evidently be the same, so none of the footage will be cut entirely; the new version opens in China tomorrow. [The Hollywood Reporter]

Ricky Stanicky: After starring in a string of movies that didn’t do so well at the box office, Jim Carrey took on supporting roles in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and the upcoming Kick-Ass 2. But he’s now confirmed that he will take on the lead role in the comedy Ricky Stanicky. He will team once again with Steve Oedekerk, who worked with him on the TV show In Living Color and directed him to success in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. [Deadline]

Java Heat Trailer: Due for release on May 10, Java Heat reteams Kellan Lutz (The Twilight Saga) and Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler), who previously appeared together in Immortals; this time it's an action thriller set in Indonesia. The first trailer has been released, and it features plenty of bullets, explosions, unusual accents and Rourke firing a machine gun. [The Film Stage]
