The Russo Brothers say the upcoming live-action Hercules will be partially inspired by TikTok: 'Audiences today have been trained by TikTok, right? What is their expectation of what that musical looks like and feels like?'
The Russo Brothers' upcoming live-action adaptation of the Disney film Hercules will take inspiration from TikTok. Considered a part of the Disney Renaissance era, the 1997 film Hercules is an animated musical based loosely on Greek mythology. While the film underperformed at the box office compared to previous Disney films, Hercules has since become a beloved movie that garnered a short TV series and a stage adaptation.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In April 2020, it was announced that a live-action remake of Hercules was in motion at Disney, and that Marvel directors Joe and Anthony Russo would be producing it. The Russos said that their version of the film won't be a shot-for-shot recreation of the 1997 movie, but rather, "something that's in the vein of the original and inspired by it.
“There are questions about how you translate it as a musical. Audiences today have been trained by TikTok, right? What is their expectation of what that musical looks like and feels like? That can be a lot of fun and help us push the boundaries a little bit on how you execute a modern musical.” What the New Hercules Adaptation Could Look Like Though there have been few updates on how this newest version of Hercules will differ from its source material, both Ritchie and the Russo Brothers seem intent on making this Disney remake different from others. Joe Russo adds that, with Hercules, Disney wants to "stretch the limits of their IP moving forward, rather than playing IP management.
Therefore, it seems audiences can expect an updated Hercules going forward. The live-action movie might opt to take a more accurate approach with its mythology, which would certainly impact how the story progresses. The experimental aspect mentioned by the Russos could also hint that Hercules will put a unique spin on the hero's journey, while the TikTok element might have to do with staging the musical numbers in a new way.
