The release date for Brett Ratner’s Hercules, based on the Radical graphic novel, has been moved up to July 25, 2014. It had been scheduled for August 8th. Paramount must feel that the earlier, July release date is worth a lot; it’s only one week after the release of The Hobbit: There and Back Again and X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Dwayne Johnson is starring; other cast members have also been signed (see "'Headhunters' Star Joins 'Hercules' Cast").
