He-Man Helmed By Kung Fu Panda
Published 11/19/2008 at Cinema Blend News
... silly now, and the idea of a boy turning into a heavily muscled super-warrior has been done before and better. Yet this is one of the big, 80s cartoon franchises were talking about here and that means Hollywood is hot to make something out of it in the wake of Transformers . Its been close to becoming a movie before, but He-Man projects have a funny way of fizzling. Maybe this one will flame out too, especially if GI Joe fails to perform next summer, but for now the guys at LatinoReview claim that the latest attempt to make a He-Man movie has a director. That ...

Director of the Universe?
Published 11/19/2008 by Rob Bricken at Topless Robot
... I hate posting uncredited news stories from websites that don't name their sources, but Latino Review has just been too damn accurate to dismiss. At any rate, they're saying that not only is the Masters of the Universe movie not dead, but it just acquired a director in John Stevenson, who just helmed Kung Fu Panda. I didn't see Kung Fu Panda, but it got near unanimous great reviews, so if this is true I imagine it's a very good thing. No one seems to know if he'll use Justin Marks nerd-acclaimed script, but I've got my fingers crossed. . ...

Kung Fu Prince: It's not dead after all! John Stevenson, director of Kung Fu Panda, has been tapped to bring He-Man to life. The Joel Silver–produced flick will have He-Man fighting both his arch nemesis, Skeletor, and technology, all within a 300-style world. As long as the original live-action He-Man, Dolph Lundgren, gets a cameo, we're in. [Latino Review]

By The Power Of Grayskull, The He-Man Movie Is Not Dead Yet [He-man]

... to make this happen. Panda fans are aware that it had an all-star collection of stars lining up to voice the characters. Plus, the humor is pretty cheeky, and exactly what a He-Man movie would need. I say lets make this happen, as He-Man was a huge part of my childhood and is all but forgotten these days. Bring back the shorty-short heroes of yesterday, and maybe, just maybe, this will lead to the Thundercats live action movie I desperately desire. [Latino Review]

He-Man Movie Getting a New Director?
Published 11/20/2008 by Sean at Film Junk
... According to Latino Review, Kung Fu Panda co-director John Stevenson came in and pitched his own version of He-Man, and the studio loved it… which means it’s back on again! Unfortunately, it also means that the Justin Marks script that everyone has been raving about around the web probably won’t be used. I still have yet to see Kung Fu Panda, but I know a lot of people really liked it. I’m just not sure if that is because they had low expectations going in, or if it is genuinely a great flick. Either way, I can understand how an ...

... would knock the socks of old and young viewers alike. I just hope Silver is keen enough to realize that his best chance for a big payday lies in CGI animation. No walking that live-action/CGI middle line that caused Speed Racer to bomb so hard.
What about you? Do you think Stevenson should try to go the CGI route with Masters of the Universe? Or should he try his luck in the ring of live-action? Let’s talk about it!

... This also confirms LatinoReview’s report from last week that Kung Fu Panda co-director John Stevenson might now be attached to the project. I haven’t seen Four Christmases yet, but I hope that Gordon doesn’t become attached to too many romantic comedies. He recently got attached to a new project called Suicide Squad, which sounded to me like a losers version of Oceans 11. Gordon described the film on the podcast: ...
