HOORAY FOR ‘HE-MAN!’ : And finally, confirms what has long been rumored: “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” is being developed as a new feature film by Warner Bros. and producer Joel Silver. The deal for the live-action movie is is contingent on “He-Man” rights holder Mattel (makers of the toy line) formally approving an outline for the project. The franchise has been reimagined 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. Despite internet rumors of casting possibilities for the lead role (which have included Brad Pitt, among others), VARIETY reports that no official casting decisions have been made as of yet.
