He-Man returns to big screen
Warner Bros. and producer Joel Silver (’Matrix’) are working with Mattel to turn “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” into a live-action film. They’re overhauling the 80’s superhero in an effort for Warner to compete with the upcoming Transformers release this July.
And for Mattel, success in this movie could mean an entire relaunch of their toy line.
From 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.

I read something on another blog that pretty much said they had already ruined He-man. Something about how the plot was going to He-man being a soldier who like stumbled on Eternia or something. It was so awful I had to immediately forget it.
Ah bummer, I hope at least Wonder Woman comes out badass.

Good cartoon back in the day, can be made into a really good film if done right.
