MUMBAI: The release of Hercules: The Thracian Wars, that was originally scheduled for release 8 August, 2014, has been preponed to 25 July Paramount has announced.

The film, based on Radical Studios‘ graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars, stars Dwayne Johnson in the title role.

While no other films are currently slated for release on the same date, the move to bring down the film‘s release to July puts the film one week after the release of two major summer films like The Hobbit: There and Back Again and X-Men: Days of Future Past that are both to release on 18 July.

The film is being produced by Beau Flynn, Barry Levine and Ratner and executively produced by Peter Berg, Sarah Aubrey and Jesse Berger.
