John Woo is Bringing Us He-Man!

he-manDolpj.jpgHe-man was one of those cartoons that I loved as a kid. Oh yeah… looking back on it now it was pretty lame… and the new cartoon version sucks pretty hard too. Then there was the Dolph Lundgren version with a very young (and pretty) Courtney Cox. Oh wow that was terrible. But I must admit that news of John Woo bringing us back to the Masters of the Universe is pretty darn exciting to me. The good folks at SuperHeroHype bring us this:

Variety reports that Fox 2000 has set John Woo (“Paycheck”) to direct and produce He-Man, a live-action film based on the characters in Mattel’s “Masters of the Universe” line of action figures. Adam Rifkin will adapt the screenplay. Originally made into an animated series in 1983, the property was also adapted into a live-action film in 1987 called Masters of the Universe, which starred Dolph Lundgren as the hero and Frank Langella as Skeletor.

Oh glee. Yeah I know… this this will probably suck too… but I don’t care! Now, if I can only get someone to do a “G-Force: Battle of the Planets” movie I’ll be in geek heaven!
