JediMaster said: 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 Originally made into an animated series in 1983, the property was also adapted into a live-action film in 1987 called Masters of the Universe, which starred Dolph Lundgren as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!!! That's still one of my favorite movies. I mean it sucks and all, but it and Labyrinth are two of the first movies I remember seeing. I don't get why there's a new movie being made of this, though, when the remake of the cartoon and the toy line have been cancelled for awhile. ~ I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR ~

We can only hope, that He-Man would have his justice done, in a live action film. Ummm, Ang Lee directed The Hulk, not John Woo. Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |
