He's in the Hercules movie that the Rock isn't in right?? If so no one cares.

That is untrue!

In 2013, the action film battle royale was between two competing White House thrillers, Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down. The former film, seen as the scrappy contender, hit theaters three months before Sony and Roland Emmerich’s supposedly bigger movie. But the contender ended up winning the battle, with a sequel already set to re-team its cast and director. White House Down, meanwhile, is going to walk out of 2013 seen as an underperformer.
Now Lionsgate is going to see if the same pattern can work twice, as it has purchased distribution rights to Renny Harlin‘s Hercules: The Legend Begins, starring Kellan Lutz. The film will be in theaters five months before Brett Ratner‘s own Hercules, starring The Rock. Which strongman will end up on top?

I can guarantee the Rock version is going to do exponentially better than the other one bro.

That doesn't always work out for the movie that gets released first.
Deep Impact came out a few months before Armageddon; both movies were about asteroids heading towards Earth but Armageddon still won the battle at the box office.
The Illusionist tried the same tactic against The Prestige but The Prestige still ended up being more successful.

From the way its going Affleck may be the best part of Man of Steel aka DC's hail mary.
They haven't even started filming yet aside from some establishing shots of the Kent farm and a college football game so exactly what way is it going?

read up on Adkins, he is now considered mainstream.
Do you know of his role with Hercules?

Also perhaps Batman being nothing but the batjet, the batmobile and gadgets and storyline perhaps all that plus pure action cinematics is exactly what Batman needs!

Plus Afleck is not that great of an actor.
why this dude keep acting like this hercules movie is a big deal :rudy:....when i first saw the trailer i thought the shyt was going straight to on demand :smh: then a few weeks later i saw the trailer on tv and was like :wtf:....scott been my dude since undisputed 2 but being in a movie with a fukking twilight supporting actor as the lead is not wats hot in the streets

Feel bad for Adkins, Undisputed 3 made me a fan and then I went back and saw part 2.

Reason I feel bad is cause the Hercules film he's on will be a huge L compared to the one starring The Rock.

Facts: Ben Afflect can act
No one cares about Scott Adktins
And Rocky as Hercules>>>>Kellan Lutz.

Feel free to debate anything else. But those are facts.

Scott Adkins is awesome but he doesn't have enough star power to get a role like that, and hiring him to be the fight/stunt double of Batman would be too brilliant a move for these clowns.



Imagine a live-action Batman fighting like that. :wow:
