The Rock to play He-Man The Scorpian King http://www.canmag.com/news/4/3/1000 According to a scoop send into LatinoReview, John Woo is seeking out The Rock to play He-Man for Masters of the Universe. Here is a snippet of the report below: The film follows a young 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. Here's what we are being told: Mr John Woo is making a movie version of "Masters of the Universe" and he is getting The Rock to play He-Man. It says it'd be the second of the films he has done with Rock, they are doing one called "Spy Hunter" together. He-Man planned for Summer 2006 release it says. | |

I hope it turns out better than the original "Masters of the Universe" in the 80's. That thing was weak! My name is BISCUIT...and I am funky! | |

I agree. That was a pile of crap. I remember seeing it when I was a little kid and I was very disappointed. The Rock will make a great He-Man. Who says He-Man has to be white? [Edited 8/2/05 15:49pm] | |

[Edited 8/2/05 15:49pm] the cartoon and the action figures. of course, Conan is supposed to have dark blue/black hair and Arnold did well enough with light brown, so i suppose it can be overlooked. fantasy fans are notoriously nitpicky when it comes to changes in their beloved characters though. the smallest change they will notice and obsess over for years. | |

Im a fan of the franchise and Dwayne Johnson doesnt bother me a bit. I couldnt think of anyone better. They had better not give him a blonde wig though. Does The Rock playing He-Man bother you? | |

(I can see from the props). See and everyone says she's never been a he and I can spot that bitch in a caolmine...and I've only seen her once. But isn't that just like a drag queen? I can spot those bitches from a mile away. | |

Does The Rock playing He-Man bother you? not at all, but i know there's gonna be some crazy geekfights over this choice but i do think they should give him blond hair, it's a central part of the character, like big hobbit feet for frodo. and being blond will make him look even more like a crossbreed. perhaps Rock will only play He-man, and someone else, will play Prince Adam and the metamorphosis will be more dramatic. | |

Very few people are, but that doesn't mean Dwayne should get every damn role. | |
