On MSN they're talking about a new He-Man movie and who should be cast as him. So what actor do you think should play He-Man?

I thought they had already cast him. A while back on the old board, I had posted a thread about a MOTU movie. I read an article that gave several cast members. The IMDB also had a page for it, but that seems to have changed. Here's the link http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=mas...f+the+universe but it no longer lists any names. Steve Blackman, a wrestler, was going to be Skeletor and the lady who played Hope on "Days of Our Lives" was supposed to be Queen Marlena. They guy that they listed as Prince Adam/HeMan was basically a buff no-name who had played smaller parts on TV shows. It looks as though they might have changed their minds, because I can no longer find actual cast information and all the articles I googled said that no one had been chosen.Last edited by Bizarro Amy; Jun 1, '07, 8:52 AM.

The 1987 movie is only half-crap, I assure you! The Eternia sequences are awesome, and Frank Langella's Skeletor chews scenery like some kind of demented mutant Dracula. It's when the movie switches to modern-day Earth that the film's pacing -- and credibility -- take a turn for the worse. Still, there are some fun action sequences, and the fact that the plot is loosely based on Jack Kirby's Fourth World comics run -- replete with Boom Tube! -- is some consolation.
As to a new film version, I'm all for it, but I'll believe it when I see the trailer! If it's anything like the 2003 CN series, I have every ounce of faith it will be spectacular. That show was the perfect blend of old-school He-Man and fresh sci-fi/fantasy concepts.Comment

I was only out of MOTU toys a year when the movie came out. It's lack of Prince Adam and setting on Earth really honked me off. I'll have to rewatch it one day. I've heard of the Fourth World connections, but I haven't rewatched it myself to see those.
If Transformers does well, expect every major toyline of the last 40 years to get a movie in pre-production pronto.

At least that way it would be done as satire and might come out watchable because it would be funny-- deliberate or not
