iolaus_dwYou. Your friends. Maybe your enemies. In a movie. What kind of movie? Tell us about it.
Well, let me see. I think it would start with someone speaking over lots of scenes of our hero. Something that shows the kind of man he really is. Not just a hero fighting monsters and all, but compassionate and understanding. Maybe it could go something like this:
This is the story of a time long ago. A time of myth and legend. When the ancient gods were petty and cruel and plagued mankind with suffering.
Only one man dared to challenge their power. Hercules!
Hercules possessed a strength the world had never seen. A strength surpassed only by the power of his heart. He journeyed the earth battling the minions of his wicked stepmother Hera, the all-powerful Queen of the Gods. But wherever there was evil, wherever an innocent would suffer, there would be...
Hercules!
The way I see it, the movie would be a heroic epic about the greatest hero Greece has ever known. No, the greatest hero the world has ever known! Hercules! It will be full of action and adventure, and maybe a little bit of humor thrown in. And I'd be in it too, right where I belong – at Herc's side, fighting off monsters and warlords and anything else that Hera tries to throw our way.
You know, it's really too big a story for just one movie. I mean, we're talking about Hercules here! No way you can fit that into two hours! What do you think about doing a bunch of little movies? You know, so we can tell the whole story?
