John Woo to Direct He-Man

By James Wray Oct 4, 2004, 9:01 GMT

Fox 2000 has hired John Woo to direct and produce He-Man, a live-action movie based on the characters in Mattel's "Masters of the Universe" line of action figures. Adam Rifkin will adapt the screenplay.Originally He-Man was an animated series in 1980's which went through some weird changes, if your memory goes back to it. There was also a live-action movie in 1987 called Masters of the Universe, which starred Dolph Lundgren as the He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor.He-Man began life as Prince Adam, the hybrid of an Earthling and an Eternian. At the age of 18, he was taken to Castle Grayskull, where Adam received super powers. He-Man has a sidekick in the form of a tiger, Battle Cat, and a deadly enemy, Skeletor. Both sides also have various side-kicks. The original cartoon became rather farsically camp towards the end and always had a moral attached.By The Power of GraySkull indeed!Source: Variety
