Russian actor-slash-producer Alexander Nevsky plans to launch Hercules: The Beginning with a modest budget of $12 million.
Following a road similar to now-Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, with Conan the Barbarian, Nevsky has named himself Roman hero of Greek legend.
Nevsky is a bodybuilder, author and movie star in his native Russia and has spent the past decade making his way in Los Angeles as a writer, producer and actor. His banner, Hollywood Storm, just wrapped the thriller Magic Man. Treasure Raiders, his previous film, will get a stateside release through Maverick Entertainment.
