Herakles is wrongfully accused of murdering his family, he sets off to find the true killer.
In one of the variations of the myths surrounding Herakles he did kill his family, his first wife Megara and the 2 children she bore him. ?But he did so with impunity because he had an alibi: ?Hera made him do it by casting a spell of madness upon him.The issue that concerns me is: what is there soRead more
In one of the variations of the myths surrounding Herakles he did kill his family, his first wife Megara and the 2 children she bore him. ?But he did so with impunity because he had an alibi: ?Hera made him do it by casting a spell of madness upon him.
The issue that concerns me is: what is there so compelling about this story of a super hero who lived thousands of years ago that will interest a modern audience? ?Particularly when Herakles has to compete with modern superheroes with powers and adventures more fantastic, spectacular and epic than any of his.
There was a 2014 movie about Hercules starring ?Dwayne Johnson. ?Despite his star power, it didn’t make it’s money back at the box office. ?So there’s one strike against your concept from the git-go. ?Hercules didn’t sell — even with a major star.
And the first thing any producer who reads your logline will do before reading your script ?is check the financials on the last movie. ? What is there in your story — in the logline — that will persuade a producer that your story is going to succeed where the last film flopped?
Just saying.
fwiw

Like Richiev said. ?This would be a more interesting story if it is ?based on a real case that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. ?And the only way it could get that far is if it involves a Constitutional issue. ?Otherwise, realistically, it will never get heard above the state courts which is why I dropped the reference to the Supremes.
But if it’s not based upon a real case and ?you know of some arcane legal issue in the premise that would credibly rise to the level of a Constitutional question, then run with it.
