Hollywood is powering up for a clash of the titans this year, with two films about legendary demigod Hercules -- one starring teen heartthrob Kellan Lutz, and a more mature version later in the year. The superhero standoff -- Tinseltown seems prone to doing movies in pairs, after two adaptations of the Snow White tale last year -- comes 16 years after the last Hercules movie, by Disney in 1997. Directed by action film veteran Renny Harlin ( & quot;Die Hard 2, & quot; & quot;Cliffhanger & quot; and & quot;Exorcist: The Beginning & quot;), & quot;The Legend of Hercules & quot; retraces the demigod & #039;s youth when he was still unaware of his divine ascendancy, sold as a slave and fighting to reconquer his kingdom. & quot;The story of Hercules we tell in the movie is one of the tales.
