Masters Of The Universe Reboot: Who Will Direct?

It was recently revealed that due to "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" director Jon M.Chu's commitment to G.I. Joe 3 and to making the series better, he had to vacate the new long-in-development live-action film reboot of the toy line "Masters Of The Universe"


Schmoes Know has posted the short list of potential directors that the studio has in mind to take over the big chair compiled. The names on that list include:

Rian Johnson Joe Cornish,, Phil Lord and Chris Miller and Kirk De Micco and Chris Sanders.

The toys and the cartoon "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" series followed He-Man, a prince who transforms into a warrior and becomes the last hope for a magical world that has been ravaged by the sinister Skeletor.

Dolph Lundgren played He-Man in the 1987 live-action film version opposite Frank Langella as the evil Skeletor.

Attempts have been made over the years to revive the "Masters" film, but the film picked up steam thanks to a script by Alex Litvak and Mike Finch called "Grayskull" (that title can no longer be used).  Richard Wenk perform rewrites on the screenplay. Terry Rossio was hired to work on the script late last year;

Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch are producing the film.
