Disney's Hercules Live-Action Movie Will Have A More Modern Spin
The new Hercules live-action movie will have a contemporary touch. Ron Clements and John Musker directed the animated Hercules musical comedy movie for Disney in 1997. In the film, Hercules (Tate Donovan) is kidnapped by Hades' (James Wood) henchmen, but with mentorship from the satyr Philoctetes (Danny DeVito), the hero exhibits his super-human strength and prevents the villain from taking over Mount Olympus. The critical response to Hercules was positive, with a lot of praise toward Wood's portrayal of Hades, yet the film's earnings were inferior to Disney's previous animated features. Still, the movie is regarded by many as a classic, and it remains quite popular among fans, both new and old, due to its streaming availability on Disney+.
