With Kellan Lutz (Twilight, Immortals) aboard to play the titular character in ‘Hercules 3D,’ The Hollywood Reporter send word that ‘Spartacus’ star Liam McIntyre has been cast in a leading role in the Renny Harlin-directed period action movie. McIntyre will play a young army captain who becomes Hercules’ most trusted battlefield companion. After an evil king deceives them, Hercules and the captain are sold into slavery and must fight side by side to earn their freedom.
Commenting on the casting, Renny Harlin had the following to say, “He’s infinitely entertaining to watch. I am lucky to have him play military commander, Sotiris, Hercules’ best friend. Their relationship begins antagonistic and develops into a close bond, forged in battle.” The casting is a major move for Liam McIntyre as it marks the first Hollywood feature for the Australian actor. It’s also his first move since concluding his starring run on ‘Spartacus,’ on which he took over after the late Andy Whitfield, the original Spartacus, was diagnosed with cancer.

Was there a scene in the book that you were particularly looking forward to shoot in ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2′?
Kellan Lutz: I’ve enjoyed a lot of different beats in the ‘Twilight’ story, but I was really looking forward to doing the arm wrestling scene with Kristen. It’s one of the big moments for Emmett, and the fans are really looking forward to it. It was fun to shoot. When I first read it in that book I was excited because Emmett finally had a one-on-one scene with Bella, and not just human Bella, but vampire Bella. We had a great time shooting it. I wish we could’ve spent a full day doing it just because I had so much fun doing that scene, but I loved every second. It’s a funny scene.

How much of a help was it having Stephenie Meyer on set while filming?
Taylor Lautner: Stephenie’s great, I can’t thank her enough. She created these characters, so having her on set for these movies has been amazing. Whenever you need anything or have any questions – and lets face it, ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ is probably the most confusing, complicated ‘Twilight’ movie yet. So it was awesome to be able to go up to her in any given moment and ask her anything – and of course she has all the answers (laughs).
