COMMENTARY 2:

01-10-98. The reason so any clips from the Hercules movies show up on the promo is not because they are in the film (there are soooo many of them, that it gives the impression that YOUNG HERCULES is actually a clip show of the Hercules' movies), but that was the only material Universal Home Video had at their disposal when making the promo. Where else can you find trivia like this, except on WHOOSH?

01-10-98. Kevin Smith is featured on the box art, TJ Scott is the director. Bernadette Joyce is the coordinating producer, with Friedman and Grundemann getting producing credits. Story is credited to Tapert along with 2 guys my informant had never heard of. Remember, you read it on WHOOSH! first. Heh heh.

01-10-98. Robert Tapert said in Starlog Magazine #245 (12/97) that he is hoping that YOUNG HERCULES becomes an afternoon strip series with 80 episodes a year.

01-10-98. From KSZoneW@aol.com: Younng Herc comes straight to video on Feb 17, 1998. The promo on "Herc and Xena animated video" lasts 1 minute and did feature comes sceens from HTLJ and XWP but many where from Yng Hercules the movie. It looks like an adventure film with some dark moments from reports. Ares and Discord are in it but Im not sure if its going to be Kevin Smith and Meighan Desmond. Alcmene is supposed to be in it as well as Ciron the centaur trainer of Herc and Iolaus. Jason will be in it and was in several sceens of the promo . It looks as Herc and friends will battle giants, gangs, harpies, and Ares in this pilot for the series. There supposed to have the series air on weekday afternoons, according to several reports on whoosh and elsewhere. Elsewhere in the promo they show a giant skull and they play gothic music making the promo very intense and mysterious. I'm not sure why they showed some HTLJ and XWP footage but its possible some of that footage may air or else they wanted to play tricks. The shows looks exciting and intresting. I would suggest buying it when it comes out and Ill try to write the summary and cast for it a few days after it comes to my local video story and I buy it. Herc will also battle a giant red serpent and have a chariot race with his enemys, from the video footage shown on ET and the promo.

Coming soon!
