He-Man returns to the stage in an upcoming live-action movie, scheduled for 2009. Details are mostly on the level of rumors, with no announced cast as of yet. The new movie will be produced by Joel Silver and the Warner Brothers, with Justin Marks as writer.
We here at He-Man Fans are eagerly awaiting the movie. The 1987 movie, Masters of the Universe, was a fiasco, so we are definitely hoping they won’t err two times. As the movie is rumored to have great funding, there is hope that we will see a much better version this time.
There are no official word on casting or direction yet (except that there is none), but the plot will allegedly go something like this:
A warrior is touted as the last hope of a magical land called Eternia, which is being ravaged by technology and the evil Skeletor.
The script is said to be complete and a version of it has been read and reviewed by some. Some rumors and spoilers concerning the script are circulating around the blogosphere.
