He-Man Live Action flick Planned
http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070524m.php
He-Man is coming back. It's now confirmed that producer Joel Silver and Warner Bros. Pictures are moving forward with a planned "Masters of the Universe" live-action film adaptation of the famous Mattel toyline and 1980's animated series.
The producer and studio are in negotiations with Mattel to acquire the rights to the property. Newcomer Justin Marks, who recently scored a co-writing gig with David Goyer on the Green Arrow prison film "SuperMax," has been brought on board to pen the adaptation.
To quickly summarise the character back history - the very well muscled warrior He-Man - with his blond bob, tiny chrome singlet, fur speedo and calf-high boots - took on the mighty hordes of Skeletor - an equally buff, blue & purple spandex-clad nut job prone to delusions of grandeur resembling those of crystal meth-addicted twinks.
The new version reimagines the property as Prince Adam (He-Man) being a solider who stumbles upon the magical world Eternia where the evil Skeletor is using a technology-fueled army to wipe out all traces of magic.
The property was previously turned into a 1987 feature starring Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella and Robert Duncan McNeill.

Someone could get a remake of He-Man? "Master of the homosexual universe?" And not the transformers?
Seriously giants robots vs. a loin cloth boy that didn't make a move against Teela?
He-Man was perhaps one of the worst cartoons of the 80's. Off the top of my head only She-Ra could top the sheer suck of the action cartoon genre.

but at least Jem wouldn't be a remake of a movie made 15 years ago!!!
i remember the 80's with a certain degree of fondness, i admit. *blush* i also remember begging for leg-warmers, parachute pants (both of which i got *ewwww*) and for tickets to duran duran (that i didn't get). i loved the hair bands and rap of the time. but when it comes to my movies, those made in the 80's are classics that do not need to be brought into the 21st century!!!!

I dont know.. they could make a live-action Smurf movie...
The first He-Man movie was terrible.. and most of the old-world fantasy movies that come out ( unless theyre like epic movies.. Lotr) are terrible.. so it all depends on how well they do it and how good the story is..

Because I didn't watch transformers or have any as a child. I was of the G.I. Joe and He-Man/She-Ra camp.
