Movie blogs can’t catch a break these days…Last year, Latinoreview heard that Kung Fu Panda Co-Director John Stevenson may be the one to helm the live adaptation project HE-MEN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, now Variety confirmed it but no mention of Latinoreview anywhere… o well.
Joel Silver will produce, why am I not surprised, he’s also going to produce Mattel’s other big screen treatment based on the popular toy Hot Wheels.
Stevenson is going to use Justin Marks‘ draft based on a story Marks wrote with Neil Ellice.
The article says Stevenson wasn’t interested the first time he was offered the job but then he was taken to Mattel headquarters and was shown into a secret lair that contained the visuals, fascinating art for the movie created by the toymaker staff. That experience opened his eyes.
We’ll just have to wait and who he’s going to cast for the roles He-Man and the nemesis, Skeletor. Any suggestion?
