Guy Ritchie says his live action 'Hercules' film could be done within the next year.
When you think Disney, you think of classic animation films that are part of the fabric of many individuals today. As a major player in the entertainment industry, Disney has sought to maintain its enviable standard and one of the ways the company seeks to do that is by remaking in live action, some of its major classics. Niki Caro’s 2020 adaptation of Mulan, and Rob Marshall’s eagerly anticipated 2023 The Little Mermaid featuring Halle Bailey are some of the company’s offerings.
Ritchie is no newbie to making a Disney live-action movie, the director was in charge of the 2019 remake of Aladdin. While attending the Red Sea International Film Festival, Ritchie gave an update about his latest remake. The director revealed that the remake is something that could be done within the next year, adding “I want to be as busy as I fucking can [be].” Ritchie continues:
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY “I used to make one movie a year; I’d quite like to make three movies a year. Because I like it, it’s not hard work for me. Even coming here, we wrapped filming at 04.30, you’re on a plane an hour later; you’re here, you start working, you go on a plane, I’ll land, I’ll go back to work. As long as you’re not playing with jet-lag too aggressively, I’m fucking happy doing that.
If this is to come to fruition, Ritchie has some of the best hands available signed on to produce this remake, and that will be filmmakers, Joe and Anthony Russo. While Ritchie is speaking of a timeline, Joe Russo has expressed that the adaptation will be “a little bit more experimental in tone, a little bit more experimental in execution.
