No friggin' way. This cannot be true. Don't get us wrong, we loved the animated series He-Man when we were little, just like you. But why does he need to be resurrected in live-action form? You guys all saw that 1987 bomb Masters of the Universe, right? That memorable piece of trash starred Dolph Lundgren as the titular hero and Frank Langella as his fleshily-challenged nemesis, Skeletor. It also featured one of the greatest exchanges in 1980s cinema history.
"I'll never kneel to you!"
"Yes, you will. Yes you will!"
He-Man was a great concept - for the 80s. Does it really work today? We suppose the success of the upcoming Transformers will be somewhat of a barometer for how much interest today's viewing public has in pop culture touchstones that hit their popularity apex a quarter-century ago. Of course, that particular film has "Michael Bay" splashed large above the title. This one is being produced by Joel Silver. Speaking of unearthing old relics...
