So let me get this straight; we have a brand-new direct to DVD film, the second feature from star/director Alexander Nevsky, who’s been dubbed the “Russian Schwarzenegger”, that is exec produced (and apparently re-written) by Sheldon Lettich, the writer/director of Awol, Double Impact and Only the Strong, and who also wrote Rambo 3 and Bloodsport. Not only that, the film stars a who’s who of 90s action including Adrian Paul, Robert Davi and – surprise, surprise – villainous action movie stalwart Matthias Hues.

Skeptical is the best word I could use to describe my reaction to the news that a new Hercules movie was on the way. Clearly a reaction to 300 - and not wanting to get lost in a resurgence that already includes a new franchise for Conan the Barbarian - Hercules: The Thracian Wars will be based on a new comic books series and will be directed by Peter Berg, who many not be the first name on my list when I think "gladiator movie."

And if I was skeptical of that venture, imagine how I feel about another Hercules movie, this one produced by and starring the dude in this picture.

That's Russian bodybuilder-actor Alexander Nevsky, who should not in any way be confused with Russia's Grand Prince of Novgorod during the 13th Century. This guy has entirely different aspirations and qualifications. The 6'7", 285 pound Nevsky will "play the classic...

Gregory Raskin and Russian action star Alexander Nevsky will produce...

MOSCOW -- Russia's latest Hollywood co-production aimed at an international audience begins shooting in Moscow this week, producer Czar Pictures said Monday. Treasure Hunters, an adventure movie starring David Carradine (Kill Bill) and Russian bodybuilder Alexander Nevsky, is scheduled to shoot in and around Moscow for four weeks. Directed by Brent Huff (100 Mile Rule) and produced by Nevsky and Robert Madrid -- who also stars -- the film is the third foray into Hollywood co-productions by the company and follows Michael York-starrer Moscow Heat two years ago. The company's second film, Time of Change, directed by Alexander Izotov, starred Mariel Hemingway.
