He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Gets a Director
By all accounts, Stevenson went to producer Joel Silver and gave an amazing presentation about how he would handle the material, and Silver offered him the job. This comes less than a month after the project was declared "dead" and it was stated that no one at the studio had a handle on how to approach the idea.
The script, written by Justin Marks, attempts to take the 1980s cartoon and recreate it with a sense of wonder and excitement, but taking a harder, more realistic tone at the same time. Details of the plot remain unknown, but expect He-Man and the Masters of the Universe to involve He-Man and his allies taking on Skeletor and his minions as the skull-faced villain tries to steal the power hidden within Castle Greyskull.
Masters of the Universe is in development .

Err
i have the original dolph lundgren he-man movie on dvd, and found it to be better than i thought it would (hadnt seen it since i was a kid).
never the less, its one of those movies that screams 80's, and is pretty much a total corn-fiesta.
my disinterest in this movie has nothing to do with the original though, it has everything to do with the fact that he-man is lame and the movie will suck.
"i have the power!"
lame. suck.

Yes, we know that cell, but unlike you, we don't give a sh*t if it was already a movie. I didn't see you complaining when Batman Begins came out and there were other Bat films before it. I mean, do you even read other people's posts? Get with the program

Make it a PG-13 or even a Rated R but I doubt it.

It would be cool if they made it Conan style,don't make so much like a G-rated film.

Yeah, it was with Dolph Lundgren (the actor who played the Russian boxer in Rocky IV) as He-Man.

Ohhhh WOW....another re-make...Doesn't anyone reember that back in 1987, a life-action feature film based on the popular cartoon kids show was already made into a film called: " Masters of the Universe"!
Ohh, & Courteney Cox starred in it...way before "Friends"!

I also don't think it should be called "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe." Take the "He-Man" part out

It's "great" with a dash, and then why I think it could have been great lol But yes, I want it to be grade-A, too :)

Err
haha , you said "great-a".
i think you mean "grade-A", you know, like the eggs.
i dont think anyone takes the idea of a he-man movie that seriously which is probably why it almost got shelved to begin with. they'll be lucky to get a decent amount of money to make this movie, it'll probably turn out like dragonball looks like it's gonna turn out.

WTF...the guy has worked on mostly animated projects. Maybe he'll surprise me, but I wanted this to be great-a fantasy epic on par with LotR...is that too much to ask? The sad thing is is that it had the potential to be that epic...now I'm not so sure. They couldn't get someone like Zack Snyder or Peter Jackson to do this?

Err
worry?
don't you mean "hope"?
i can't see any way this will turn out to have been a good idea. unless it's an r-rated violence-laden not-for-kids fantasy gorefest starring rutger hauer as skeletor im pretty sure itll be bad.
itll probably star robert pattinson and zach efron or some other equally deplorable teeny bopper talentless retards and cause brain hemorraging upon viewing... of course people tell me im a cynic so maybe im just being pessemistic.
