Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
From Total Film website:
Arnie might be dusting off the battle axe to return to the world of Conan The Barbarian, but he’ll have competition in the glistening-pec stakes, with a reboot of Masters Of The Universe also in the works.
Director Jon Chu gave an interview with MTV recently, explaining where the project is currently at, and how his team is seeking to achieve the right tone. “We’re working on the script, to make it better and stronger,” says Chu. We’re designing a bunch of stuff. I learned on [G.I. Joe: Retaliation] that to make it right, you have to do a lot of experimenting first, and you have to trust that during the process you’ll find where the tonal line is… It’s so delicate. “Masters Of The Universe means so much to a lot of people out there - and myself as well. I don’t want to disappoint my friends! We all grew up with Masters, played with the toys… I had a Castle Grayskull, played with the toys, I had a Battle Cat. “We’re just designing now, going too far on some things, pulling back on others… Making it more real, or more fantastic. We’re trying to find that line as we go.” Sounds like rippling muscle-men are back, in a big way... Long held up in development hell, it looks like it may finally come to fruition... all I have to say is that it can't be any worse than Lundgren's outing as He-Man... and by the sound of it, Chu is a fan of the original cartoons and toys, so hopefully it'll be loyal too. |

Isn't Jon Chu the one who directed the upcoming GI Joe & the Step Up movies?
She also said she is a big fan of the GI Joe cartoons & I see nothing of that sort in the trailer, no doubt it seems like a far better effort than Sommers. BTW anyone here enjoyed the Lundgren movie besides me?.. I thought it was fun. |
Re: Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
The Lundgren film is down there with Superman 4 and Street Fighter... awful...
... looking forward to the new one though if they actually get it going though. |
Re: Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
MOTU has a really promising scope for a successful franchise..
Just hope they don't change the costume. |
Re: Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
I wouldn't hold your breath for this, even with the recent Conan/Clash of the Titans films. However, should it happen, I really wouldn't expect it to be any good.

Been some developments...
DeVon Franklin, studio exec for Colombia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has tweeted concept art for the new movie and has mentioned new Sony Chairman as being the man who will say yes or no to the new film. |

Re: Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
After seeing the new G.I. Joe film, I have no hope of this being good. I think if someone who was willing to go as over the top as possible with the film were making it this could be fun.

Re: Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
I like the Lundgren movie despite the MANY flaws. A real guilty pleasure. But still this has be curious. And if Battle Cat is in it I am hoping it will be truer to the show.

Re: Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
This has to be made, a re-boot of HE-Man and a Thundercats movie both need to be made.

Re: Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
McG was pencilled in to direct but has left, and rumour is Michael Bay is taking the project on.
There is however a release date........ December 18th, 2019... David S Goyer is writing as we speak, and Sony is the distributor. |
Re: Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
Personally, I'm hoping they keep true to the source material with Skeletor being He-Man's Uncle, and Battle Cat is part of the movie.
Be interesting though to see if they have Hordak and/or King Hiss as the main villains, as they were around long before Skeletor. |
Re: Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
Meg Foster as Evil-Lyn was perfect casting in my view. Her eyes still scare me whenever she pops up in some old B-film or another. Never seen anybody with eyes that light colour.

Another role she was perfect for in my opinion was that of Hera in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. I saw her in it one day and was impressed that the casting people should think of her. |
Re: Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
i remember watching the old movie, such cheesy fun, i hope they make it decent this time around.
|
Turns out Goyer will be directing after all.

Re: Masters Of The Universe Reboot/Remake
Noah Centineo is currently lined up to play He-Man.

Seeing a trend of the de-masculinization of 'MAN'..

Forget He-Man... this is Non-Descript-Gender-Millennial...
