He-Man makes a comback to the Big Screen

Written by Kal-El

Do you guys remember He-Man : Masters of the Universe?

Of Course you would, This 80's Hero from Mattel had made several incarnations of it, whether its Movie wise or cartoons. I Know he is not in the league of any comic superheroes, but i guess for the sake of Nostalgia, i'm gonna add in stuff regarding He-Man, and since Warner Bros. and producer Joel Silver are working with Mattel to turn "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" into a live-action film, reports Variety. Justin Marks is set to write the script. Silver will produce the movie.

Can you imagine, with what effects Hollywood will be able to do with the graphics or demons that might spawned up here by the Skeletor. It would be a great deal compare it to the old previous movies, The series became a cult favorite, but the brand was hardly helped by its first big screen incarnation, the campy 1987 flop Masters of the Universe that starred Dolph Lundgren as the title character and Frank Langella as his nemesis Skeletor.

He-Man was born as a Mattel action figure, and the toymaker created an animated series in hopes of selling dolls. The franchise has been reimagined by the producer and the writers and pitched to Mattel as a classic good vs. evil battle, using the kind of visual effects strategy employed in 300. A warrior is touted as the last hope of a magical land called Eternia, which is being ravaged by technology and the evil Skeletor.

Many of the characters will be informed by the mythology created in the four different cartoon series done since the 1980s.
