He-Man Fans

The whole first season of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is available for streaming on YouTube. The 1983 animated series contains some 280 minutes worth of original He-Man entertainment.

Hopefully this, together with other YouTube offerings, is consoling enough for fans amid the continuing uncertainty about the 2011 He-Man movie.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe – YouTube:

In this successful all time classic series, He-Man the action adventure hero, must use his superhuman power to overcome the forces of evil. It all begins when The Sorceress, who dwells in the mysterious and magical Castle Grayskull calls on Adam, Prince of Eternia.

The origins of He-Man are in Mattel’s action figures – the television series, the comics and the movies were originally just efforts made to popularize the toy-line. This fall we see some new He-Man related action figures in Mattel’s Masters of the Universe Classics -line.

These action figures come at a fine time, if you consider the upcoming movie. They will bring He-Man and the MotU franchise back to the attention of the potential viewers even before the adverts start appearing. Let’s hope they also affect the movie budget positively

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.
