A Herculean Foe

Well, hello there, Tobias Santelmann – how you doin’.

And do come this way to make your English-language debut if you like.

Alright, fine. Go to Brett Ratner first.

The German-born Norwegian actor – one of the guys in the Oscar-nominated Kon-Tiki – is set to co-star Hercules for the Rush Hour director, opposite Dwayne Johnson, as Rhesus, the No. 1 nemesis of the Greek god who, in this movie, will be a mortal mercenary.

You can expect to see this tentpole-y showdown next summer.

So.... Welcome to Hollywood, Mr. Santelmann. Need anything?

Perhaps a towel boy for your Rock-like gym routines as you prep for this movie?
