What the world needs now... is another He-Man movie - Blu-ray Forum

SonOfArathorn · 08-14-2009, 11:33 PM

Seriously, they could make badass He-man movie now and I haven't heard anything about it in years. Last I heard there was talk of doing a better one (not sure how it could get worse than Dolph Lundgren one) but I've not heard anything in a couple years.
He-man was towards the end of my childhood but I still thought it was pretty cool universe, would like to see justice done to it.

I agree.

Seriously!?

Sylin · 08-15-2009, 01:47 AM

Yes, but I think they'd call him Adam and not He-Man. I dunno... the name just sounds so corny if you're not 5.

I remember articles on it. Here's the most recent blog I could find about it. You can check the link over to the script review below.

Quote:

El Mayimbe has a gotten his hands on a copy of Justin Marks’ He-Man screenplay, currently titled Grayskull: The Masters of the Universe. Okay, may-be the title needs a little work, but Mayimbe insists that the screenplay a “fanboy masterpiece!” Here are five things from the script that has gotten us excited to see this movie on the big screen.

1. This is not He-Man for kiddies! It’s written as a hard and edgy PG-13 film tinkering on the edge of an R-Rating. And remember, PG-13 is the new R. You can get away with so much more now-a-days, especially when set in a fantasy environment like Eternia.

2. The story is described as “Lord of the Rings meets The Matrix meets Batman Begins.” An epic battle for Eternia which begins with the origins of He-Man, Skeletor, and the Power Sword. Prince Adam has to “overcome his selfish need for revenge and realize his destiny for the greater good of his people” and “find the Sword of Light” in the hidden Castle Grayskull and “unify his kingdom.”

3. Included are Fan favorite characters Zodack, Mekanek, Man-at-armsS, Teela, Evil-Lyn, Trap-Jaw, Tri-Klops, Beast Man, Battlecat and Panthor. And best yet, Orko is no where in sight!

4. All the corniness of the animated series is completely GONE. There isn’t even a “single beat of comedic relief” in the entire script. Treat the property with realism, what a concept!

5. Grayskull is a geek’s wet dream, “the perfect marriage of Sorcery and Science fiction where in Eternia both Fantasy and Technology co-exist.” The script mixes “high tech, swords, and otherworldly creatures.” Imagine the possibilities!

I never thought I’d say this but I’m excited to see a live-action He-Man movie. It sounds like Justin Marks has done fanboys proud and has crafted a film with franchise possibilities. There is a lot A LOT more, I’ve only given you five little tidbits. Read the full script review over on LatinoReview

You sir are correct! They could make an awesome He-Man movie.

MAPdead · 08-15-2009, 05:21 AM

Sounds like it will be bad ass.

Riff Magnum · 08-18-2009, 02:36 PM

Sounds like more of a Conan type thing. Might be cool if done right, but why do they keep referring to being faithful to source material and removing all the jokes and corniness? Isn't the original cartoon the source or was their a comic book that came before?

P@t_Mtl · 08-18-2009, 06:18 PM

I like the original movie actualy, was just what the cartoon was, silly and cheesie

MCT · 08-18-2009, 06:22 PM

I see no mention of Skeletor in that article. YOU CANNOT HAVE A HE-MAN MOVIE WITHOUT SKELETOR.

and no, PG-13 is not the new R. I dont care how hard they try to push this on us. You cant curse profusely (multiple F-bombs) or tear limbs off and have blood spurt out in all directions in a PG-13 movie.

Why would a He-Man movie need to be PG-13 or R? If I recall the series back in the 80's was anything but R.

MCT · 08-18-2009, 06:27 PM

I dont think it needs to be, either. But that's the direction they're going in, apparently. Call it the "Dark Knight Syndrome". Everything now has to be "dark" and "edgy" or whatever. Bah. I was just commenting on that "PG-13 is the new R" bit in the article.
