May 23, 2007 - As first reported last week, producer Joel Silver and Warner Bros. are indeed teaming for a new big-screen version of the cartoon/toy/comic book franchise He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. The producer and the studio previously collaborated on the Matrix and Lethal Weapon franchises, as well as on V for Vendetta and The Reaping.

Variety says this He-Man, to be scripted by Justin Marks from an idea by Marks and co-producer Neil Ellice, "was pitched to the studio and 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 a despotic ruler named Skeletor. Many of the characters in the universe will be informed by the four different cartoon series done since the 1980s."

ahem... There was already a Masters of the Universe movie. it was fucking awesome.

You can change some stuff around and make an X-men movie not gay.

Skeletor fucks Courtney Cox in the ass with a sword. TRUE STORY.

well rumor is that Brad Pitt is gonna be He-Man

This is sounding less like a movie pitch and more like Joe Christianni's masterbation fantasy. FIRED!

guy who wrote the screen play for this is also writing one for Voltron, Super Max, and the new Street Fighter movie
