Just weeks after the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe movie left Warner Bros. Pictures, Mattel is finalizing a deal with Columbia Pictures. Escape Artists will produce the project.
Sony and Escape Artists' Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch will now start developing the project from scratch. John Stevenson had been attached to direct but is no longer attached.
In the big screen adaptation of the signature Mattel toy line, He-Man is a brawny prince who transforms into a warrior who becomes the last hope for a magical land called Eternia, which is being ravaged by technology and the evil Skeletor.
This is EPIC!!! I'm really excited about the potential for a franchise. I've already done a bit of fantasy casting. Your opinions are welcome. I should tell you the idea for He-Man I got from a user on a msg board, but I REALLY like it and I can't think of anybody else...!
Brock Lesnar as He-Man Paul Bettany as Prince Adam Hugo Weaving as Keldor/Skeletor Kate Beckinsale as Teela Jon Voight as Man-at-Arms Liam Neeson as Randor Kevin James as Ram-Man Keira Knightly as Adora Diane Cannon as Evil-Lyn Frank Welker as the voices of Cringer and Battle Cat

^ I dunno, man, looks like you cast that fairly well. Except instead of Kevin James, Brad Garrett would be a better Ram Man.

[shadow=red,left,300]He-Man has the potential to became a huge franchise. If they do it right of course.
BTW; Interesting casting choices! Since I am not a big fan of He-man, I have no idea who should be cast in the role![/shadow]
