Peter Berg is set to direct the big-screen adaptation of Steve Moore’s comic book series “Hercules: The Thracian Wars,” according to Variety.

Released earlier this year through Radical Publishing, the series follows Hercules as he turns his back on the gods and finds comfort only in barbarous battle. Details about the plot of the film have yet to be announced.

Ryan Condal will write the screenplay, which according to producer Barry Levine, will stay true to the comic.

Berg most recently directed the Will Smith vehicle “Hancock.” His credits also include “Friday Night Lights” and last year’s “The Kingdom.”

I really don’t have a problem with Berg directing another big action blockbuster, but I seriously hope Condal will supply him with a decent script. Let’s wait and see.
