Back in 2007 there was talk of Millennium Films working on a new Hercules film. Now there seems to be a new report that it could be lensing soon. SuperHeroHype was able to find out Hercules screenwriter Sean Hood (Cube 2) will do finishing touches on the Conan script before production starts in mid-March. They also state the studio hopes to start production on Hercules as soon as they finish filming Conan. Producers are currently shopping the Hercules script around to find a director.
I wouldn't be surprised if candidates from Conan are asked to helm Hercules. Directors rumored for Conan included James McTeigue (Ninja Assassin, V For Vendetta), Neil Marshall (Centurion), Rob Zombie (Devil's Rejects) and Xavier Gens (Frontiers).
Daniel Cudmore (X2) tried out for Conan it would be interesting to see him play Hercules.
I'm not sure where this leaves Marvel's Incredible Hercules who could be in Avengers, Thor sequels or his own movie. The character is old enough that nobody really owns the rights so it should be interesting to see if Marvel does end up using him in future films.
Millennium Films also has had remake of Red Sonja in the works for years now. Robert Rodriguez was producing the project with Rose McGowan in the starring role. She injuried herself during the sword training and recently said the project could be happening soon.
