The Rock Frontal Set Shot

Till Death or Victory!

The Rock has posted a frontal shot from his highly-anticipated movie Hercules, which hits the big screen later this summer. With the trailer dropping this week, Dwayne Johnson decided to unveil the look he will be sporting in the titular role. Let’s put it this way, I wouldn’t want to mess with this dude! Here is how The Rock describes the photo on Twitter: “EXCLUSIVE first look..#HERCULES The world’s first superhero. #TilDeathOrVictory.” Check out the rest of the gallery to see what else The Rock has got cooking for what is sure to be one of the biggest movies of the summer.

Make-Up

From The Rock: “A 3 hour daily process w/ multi-time Academy Award nominates hair & make up artists. A real pleasure watching these artists at work transforming me into HERCULES. #TheArtReflectsTheArtist”Outside the crazy shooting schedule, The Rock also had to go on a strict diet and train twice a day, as well as go through 3-4 make-up sessions to inhabit the character of Hercules. Hard work and dedication!

From The Rock: “For HERCULES we’re very fortunate to have the best movie designers in the world. All respecting Greek mythology thru their incredibly detailed work & craftsmanship. This weapon is an example of that respect thru detail. #SonOfZeus #12Labors #Savage”
The devil is in the details, and it looks like the Hercules team did their homework for this project.
