The He-Man Movie planned for 2009 and subsequently rescheduled for 2011 again begins to look less likely, as Warner Bros pulls out of the deal. The movie with the working title “Masters of the Universe” required co-operation from Mattel (owner of the franchise) and WB, but they didn’t see eye to eye on it.
Despite WBs pullout, the movie has not been officially canceled. If the movie continues to be worked on, it is expected that John Stevenson would still be the director, but it would require a change in director and maybe other lineup. As Film Junk put it:
The move from Warner was expected though since they recently decided to devote more of their time towards DC Comics and their respective properties, which meant that other projects of the same nature would most likely get dropped. Mattel, however, hasn’t given up on the movie just yet and director John Stevenson (who directed the horrid animated feature Kung Fu Panda) is expected to remain with the project which they are actively searching to get set up elsewhere.
We will report on new developments as news about them surface.

My name is Martin.
I am a sci-fi fan and also a toy collector. I love the HE-MAN TV series and do not want to see it comes to a stop.
I have got an excellent story from start to finish for the new He-Man movie. This will also be a good beginning for the second epic of the He-Man story line.
Please, is there someone that can help with this before they remake an old and boring story that is predictable throughout the whole movie?
Fans want new and more unpredictable movies.
I CAN HELP!!!
Please contact me urgently
