‘Masters of the Universe’ gets a Director!

Be honest now… how long have you REALLY been waiting for this movie to be remade? I know, it’s been a long and tedious wait. We’ve had to suffice with the original 1987 film starring Dolph Lundgren for so long. But, the wait is almost over! Warner Bros and producer Joel Silver are developing a project to do just that as we speak. How “real” is this project, you ask?

Justin Marks (Street Fighter, Hack/Slash) has already finished the script. Now the project has signed their director… John Stevenson (Kung Fu Panda) to helm this action/sci-fi/fantasy flick based on the popular animated TV show and line of action figures and toys from the Crazy 80’s.

Justin Marks penned the script, which skews more toward gritty fantasy and reimagines Adam as a soldier who sets off to find his destiny, happening upon magical world called Eternia. There, a being called Skeletor has raised a technological army and is bent on eradicating all traces of magic. — HR
