Here’s another rumour, this time not from a UK tabloid but from Latino Review through Rope of Silicon. According to their rumour mill Rock is up to play He-Man. Strange in that Jason Lewis I is still listed as the lead on IMDB. However, here’s what they say:
Mr John Woo is making a movie version of “Masters of the Universe” and he is getting The Rock to play He-Man. It says it’d be the second of the films he has done with Rock, they are doing one called “Spy Hunter” together. He-Man planned for Summer 2006 release it says.
ROS like the idea, myself I’m not so sure. One good thing perhaps is that he’s very different from the series version, and he’s got the physique. A good pointer is that John Woo and he are already working together, so it might not be a stretch. So what’s with the IMDB listing? Wrong? Is Rock right to play He-Man?
