New Writer For 'Masters Of The Universe' Reboot:




Sony Pictures has tapped Christopher Yost (Thor) to re-write the scrip for the upcoming reboot of 'Masters Of The Universe'... Back in March it seemed after years of rumors the project had finally gain some traction when Senior Vice President of Productions for Columbia Pictures 'DeVon Franklin took to twitter and posted the concept art for He-Man's trusty armor sidekick (Battle Cat)...

He also announced that Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) script was finished - but once Tom Rothman (Chairman) replaced Amy Pascal over at Sony Pictures it appeared the film was put on the back burner, till now..

As of right now the flick still does not have a director or a cast - The only time He-Man made it on to the big screen was back in 1987, the film has become a cult classic.. But at the time it was a huge box-office bomb, mainly due to He-Man losing most of his popularity by 87 and the film being very low budget... Much of the story takes place on Earth and centers around a couple of teens - The big highlight of the flick was Frank Langella as Skeletor...

Cast: Dolph Lundgren (as He-Man), Meg Foster (as Evil-Lyn), Jon Cypher (as Duncan Man-at-Arms), Chelsea Field (as Teela), Billy Barty (as Gwildor), Courteney Cox (as Julie Winston) and of course Frank Langella (as Skeletor)...

1983 animated series story: In a distant and mystical land, wimpy Prince Adam leads the life of royalty. Unknown to all but a few close friends/allies, Prince Adam is actually a hero, the mighty He-Man.

Together with his friends, (such as Teela; her father, a man-at-arms; mysterious Orko and his mighty friend/horse substitute Battle Cat), He-Man battles the evil Skeletor and his minions for control of the world, and, more importantly, for the control, power and "honor of Greyskull," the mysterious castle from which He-Man derives his powers...
