AceShowbiz - "Hercules" has become the latest animated Disney movie primed for a live action remake.
The new adaptation of the 1997 film follows films like "Aladdin" and "The Lion King", which have been revamped as magical live action treatment blockbusters.
And "The Lion King" producers, Jeffery Silver and Karen Gilchrist, are reportedly circling the project, as is the film's director Jon Favreau.
The 1997 release featured the voices of Tate Donovan, James Woods, and Danny DeVito while Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and "Twilight" 's Kellan Lutz have both portrayed Hercules on the big screen version in 2014 - Johnson played the strongman in "Hercules" while Lutz fronted "The Legend of Hercules".
