Joel Silver & Warner In 'He-Man' Talks

Friday, May 25th, 2007

Warner Bros. Pictures and Joel Silver are trying to get the power of Grayskull.

The studio and producer are in negotiations with toy company Mattel to acquire the rights to one of the most popular cartoons of the 1980s, "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe," with plans to bring a live-action version to the big screen.

The cartoon was known for the image of blond-haired Prince Adam on top of a mountain uttering the magic words, "By the power of Grayskull, I have the power," and turning into the heroic He-Man. He-Man and his allies -- Battle Cat, Man-at-Arms and Orko -- defended their planet Eternia from the evil forces of Skeletor, who tried week after week to conquer a fortress known as Castle Grayskull, which imbued He-Man with his powers.

I hope they make this film. I do enjoy Frank Langella's turn as Skeletor in the 1987 film. I wanna make a few suggestions though... Keep the magic of the cartoon,make Skeletor badass,and please have Battle Cat in this one. Wrestler Shawn Michaels would make a kickass He-man and I think Michael Ironside would make a killer Skeletor. Please let this film happen.
