People at school call me Flash Gordon, but I have never seen it. Wait a second...Wikipedia... Ooooo good quote "The story begins with Earth bombarded by fiery meteors. Dr. Zarkov believes the meteors are from outer space". Yeah you are totally right ROAE (mind if I call you that). Why aren't they making this a movie? |

Do you mean the Black and White Movie, the 80's movie or the 2010 movie? :) Watch the 80's movie and indulge yourself in a quatro formaggio delight. :) TROAE, ROAE or Root I answer to. :) |

I read that wrong, and I thought you said Black and White would be a good movie, which it could given the right director, Scorcese could make it deep if it does a Raging Bull touch with it. But thanks a lot for the Gordon movie dates! Imma check them out |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 884 Joined: 19 Sep 2008     | Fucking awesome! He-Man along with Thundercats, Bravestar and TMNT were the greatest things ever! The first film is brilliantly cheesy and Skeletor really kicked ass. The only problem is that they'll probably cast a bunch of douches as Skeletor and He-Man. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1485 Joined: 20 Jul 2008  | Never did get into He-Man as a kid, just could figure out what was the thing got other kids into it. Not trying to bash it but just wondering about it. |

THUNDERCATS ARE GO! (I really had to) |
On the Record  Posts: 5521 Joined: 7 Feb 2008    | The old He-Man movie is still one of my B-Movie favorites, it's a blatant Starwars ripoff that's got a decent budget but a laughably bad script. |

I thought it was "THUNDERCATS HOOOOO!!!"? You're thinking of "THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!", I think. /pathetic nerdy nitpick |

On a late night show (I don't remember if it was Leno, Letterman, or someone else), Langella said something to the effect of, "I've had a long career, and there are some jobs I took because I needed the money, or for another reason. I did this one for my kids. But it's a performance that I've grown fond of over time." Okay, I'm wildly paraphrasing, but it gave me quite a thrill to hear that. |

Another Live Action He-Man Film?
By the poooowwweeerrrrr of Graaaayyyssskulllll! He-Man rides again. Maybe.
For some time now, another film featuring the overtly-masculine, sword wielding 80's cartoon icon has been tentatively in the works, but false-starts here and there have left the ripped hero's cult following wondering when they'll see him in action again. It seems Grayskull: The Masters of the Universe may be back on track, now that Kung Fu Panda director John Stevenson is potentially at the helm of the second live action He-Man movie.
Citing anonymous sources this week, Latino Review reports Stevenson approached Warner Bros. and producer John Silver with a hot presentation on the in-limbo He-Man film and landed the gig as director. I'd save the celebrating for an official announcement, but this could mean the flick is closer to actual fruition.
The last time viewers were treated to a live action He-Man movie, Masters of the Universe, the results were startlingly bad - in a totally awesome way (I should know: I saw it in the theater). Dolph Lundgren's likeness was spot-on with what the 1987 kid version of me always imagined a real-life He-Man would look like. Plus he wielded a sword and lasers: very cool to a seven-year-old. The movie was horrendously cheesy, even by late-80s standards. I can't wait to be bombarded by the next round of He-Man atrocities, should the second live action film every make it into the theaters. Even a straight-to-DVD release would suffice.
