MOTU movie allegedly to start filming this April for a December 2019 release.

I'm open to wiggle room as far as tone goes, but character designs need to be colorful, just like Enyawd72 posted. I can only take characters like Skeletor, Stinkor, and Ram Man so seriously. So I'd err on the side of tongue in cheek, with a heavy dose of melodrama, humor, and grand scale awesomeness.

So, let me poll you guys because i;m curious.

What is the Ideal MOTU movie for fans?
based on the filmation cartoon?
the booklets?
the 2003 toon?
something completely new?

Totally curious, He-Man isn't quite as linear as GI Joe or transformers, so i wonder if you're all on the same page.

My preference: Primarily the original mini-comics, with some elements of the 2002 reboot cartoon. And maybe a little of what DC have done with the comic book license in recent years.

If I had the money I'd finance a MOTU movie on my own and it would be the greatest thing ever seen by human eyes.

Somebody with vision needs to realize MOTU is a cinematic goldmine. It has the best elements of everything...superheroes, sci-fi, horror and fantasy. Colorful characters, an epic battle between good and evil...it's all there, just waiting for the right person to bring it to life. But it HAS to be fun. It HAS to be colorful. Imagine Skeletor's army advancing on Castle Grayskull in gigantic red and black Spydor robots...Roton vehicles cutting down everything in their path. The ancient greenish castle framed against a stormy purple sky...basically the entire film should look like a moving Earl Norem painting.

Because the two Gi Joe films were so much fun? Haven't they learned to stick close to what made the characters and aesthetics so endearing?

[Brown Bear]

I cannot imagine that this would be made in a way that I'd enjoy it or that it'd bear any resemblance to the He-man I loved as a kid. They'd ruin it like they ruined Lone Ranger, CHiPS, Superman and others.

He-Man should be a Flash Gordon-esque romp... embrace all the craziness of the property and have fun with it

Spot on.

That reminds me, MOTU is often described as Star Wars mixed with Conan but it actually has far more in common with Flash Gordon than SW. Just look at the designs of many of the iconic MOTU vehicles like the Wind Raider, Battle Ram and Talon Fighter. I don't see any SW influences in those but I definitely see some FG.

And throw in a post-credits scene where He-Man shares a lesson... "In today's story..."

Hope it's done right still love the1987 version

[Nostalgiabuff]

how could they do a He-Man movie without Skeletor. hopefully that is just a rumor

[Earth 2 Chris]

Oh for Pete's sake. I have never understood why anyone would take a licensed property and mangle it so that you might as well come up with your own idea and do that as a film.

Let's hope this dies on the vine again.

I'll believe it when I see it.

There's been talks of a MOTU movie reboot for ages.

David S. Goyer is now threatening to direct. Because he couldn't just do depressing DC movies. He, obviously, had to do a joyless and grim dark MOTU movie too. But wait there's more! It's rumored Skeletor won't even be in it. Brilliant! Honestly, this would depress me more if I thought there was a chance in heck this will actually get done before Sony's rights run out at the end of 2019.
