| ‘Terminator’ helmer takes on ‘He-Man,’ new doc in the works! Posted: 21 Jan 2016 12:00 AM PST  "Masters of the Universe" Japanese Theatrical Poster Despite years in development hell, Sony Pictures is still keen on bringing Masters of the Universe (aka He-Man) back to the big screen. The latest news (via Deadline) is that Joseph McGinty Nichol (aka McG), the filmmaker known for Charlie’s Angels, We Are Marshall and Terminator Salvation, is in talks to helm the project. Jon M. Chu (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) was originally approached to direct the project, but dropped out do to scheduling conflicts. Other filmmakers considered were Harald Zwart (The Karate Kid remake), Chris McKay (Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III) and Mike Cahill (I Origins). Terry Rossio (The Lone Ranger), Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2), Alex Litvak (Predators) and Christopher Yost (Thor: Ragnarok) all worked on the screenplay for Masters of the Universe. The live-action Masters of the Universe isn’t the only He-Man-related project in the works. The makers of Turtle Power and Nintendo Quest have teamed together for a documentary titled Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, with the help of fans (click here to watch their impressive teaser trailer). The He-Man franchise – consisting of the Mattel toy line and the cartoon series – exploded in the 1980′s. Despite its decreasing popularity during the years that followed, cartoon reboots and new toy lines managed to keep the franchise afloat. Back in 1987, Cannon Films produced Masters of the Universe, a live-action film directed by Gary Goddard (Poseidon’s Fury: Escape from the Lost City) which starred Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, Courteney Cox and Meg Foster. We’ll keep updated on Masters of the Universe and Power of Grayskull as we hear more! |
