By The Power Of Greyskull!!! John Woo to Direct & Produce He-Man
Source: Variety October 4, 2004 Variety reports that Fox 2000 has set John Woo ("Paycheck") to direct and produce He-Man, a live-action film based on the characters in Mattel's "Masters of the Universe" line of action figures. Adam Rifkin will adapt the screenplay. Originally made into an animated series in 1983, the property was also adapted into a live-action film in 1987 called Masters of the Universe, which starred Dolph Lundgren as the hero and Frank Langella as Skeletor. He-Man began life as Prince Adam, the hybrid of an Earthling and an Eternian. At the age of 18, he was taken to Castle Grayskull, where Adam received super powers. He-Man has a sidekick in the form of a tiger, Battle Cat, and a deadly enemy, Skeletor. Woo is also attached to direct The Rock in the video game adaptation "Spy-Hunter" for Universal Pictures. Well, its gotta be better than the Dolph Lundgren version!!!

Man, I thought I was He-Man when I was wee. This movie better pull back the curtain on the torn flesh of the human condition and reveal the kalideoscopic blind rule of nature's cruel psyche better more convincingly than The Godfather and Citizen Kane combined. Or else.

Man, they're REALLY running out of film ideas nowdays. There isn't an original screenplay to be found.  "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

More importantly, who's going to play He-Man? I can't think of any decent actor with a physique that matches the original character. | |

[Edited 10/4/04 14:53pm] In that case maybe they're better off making it an animated character. CGI!!! LOL | |

Whenever, something was repeated 3 times it was for emphasis. Though, the number 6 represents man and the beast for me 667 signify's a spiritual revelation. Something like evolving beyond the beast but not divine.  | |

Anyway, how the sodomy do you fix mp3s so they have details instead of 'unknown' everywhere? | |

Well, its gotta be better than the Dolph Lundgren version!!! I wouldn't bet the farm on that... did you see that pile of poop he called The Hulk? We can only hope, that He-Man would have his justice done, in a live action film. minneapolisgenius said: Man, they're REALLY running out of film ideas nowdays.

I wonder how old Dolph feels about all this? First they "remake" his Punisher and now this? _ [Edited 10/4/04 16:00pm] | |

Maybe the time is just right (as far as special effects technology and all) that movies like this actually have a chance. If Spiderman were made a over a decade ago, it would have SUCKED!!!! | |
