Warner Bros. Bails Out on Masters of the Universe
September 10th, 2009
In a story from Variety, Warner Bros. and Mattel will not be teaming up to make Masters of the Universe. The film is planned to be a live-action reinvention of the Mattel toy line. Warner Bros. and producer Joel Silver have been working on this project since 2007.Apparently, Mattel and Warner Bros. fell out over the direction of the project and decided "to let the option lapse this month." In the story, He-Man is a brawny prince who transforms into a warrior who becomes the last hope for a magical land called Eternia, which is being ravaged by technology and the evil Skeletor.
Mattel is now looking to set the property up at another studio. The plan is for director John Stevenson (Kung Fu Panda) to remain attached to the project. Silver will not be involved as he is exclusive to Warner Bros.

YAY for fox
bad for fans woo hoo
Some do lead me back to you, but do you realize there is more than one copy cat impersonating you. You've got enemy's and I'm sure you know.
I've been trying to help clear your name, the main reason I need to is because I care enough to help. No I don't want pity, truly I'm just trying to help, not enough people care in this cursed world we live in.
By the way, get as many people to fit spam, since two new Spammers have poped up on the site.
I have the POWEEEEERRR
Diaigma summed it up best: THEY DON'T HAVE THE POWWEEEERR!!!!
First of all, this film may or may not be good but lets wait to find out.
Now newkill we know your gay, straight men don't walk down the street half naked or fully, nor do bi sexual men or women. Unless they are fucked in the head. Do you see us in parades, no you don't and you want to know why at least we embrace the law.
I really don't care about gay bars or clubs, if you want to do it somewhere then do it at home where no one can see.
I don't care if your gay or not, your not suppose to flaunt it. So keep your clothes on, and talk normally, talk to your boy friend in a dirty way. Just leave us alone.
Dora and Diego, Elmo, Power Wheels, Barbie and Hot wheels will always be huge in North America. Mattel has no products of their own that can be made into a major film, so they attach their name to films such as Avatar to make the toys to get them affiliated to Hollywood
Wasn't this being called "Grayskull?" I like MotU better, but I thought they weren't calling it that.
This prooves that WB is no better than Fox or any other studios: when they want to fuck up, they're all great.
Indeed I'm one of those guys who found TDK a pretty fucked up version of the Batman universe. More serious than Batman Forever & Robin, but still fucked up.
