by Sanem Z / Hot Movie News Crew
As we mentioned for a long time, Mattel’s 1980s-era pop-culture touchstone He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is turning to big screen. Master of the producing world Joel Silver deals with Warner Bros. to produce the live-action pic.
Justin Marks has been already set to write the script but no actor has been cast for the leding role.
According to Variety, the franchise has been reimagined by the producer and the writers 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.
Many of the characters in the Middle Earth-like universe will be informed by the mythology created in the four different cartoon series done since the 1980s.
