A Universe Is Reborn

The delayed Masters of the Universe reboot flick is moving ahead...

THR says that John Stevenson will call action on a new live-action version of the toy and toon franchise.



Mattel will co-produce the film with Joel Silver

Justin Marks has penned the first draft script, entitled Grayskull skewed with a more gritty fantasy turn--rather than magic.

In the new version, Adam is a soldier who sets off to find his destiny, happening upon magical world called Eternia. There, a being called Skeletor has raised a technological army and is bent on eradicating all traces of magic.

A Kung Fu Panda co-director isn't the obvious choice...but can it be good enough to forget that Dolph Lundgren starred in the 1987 campy financial flop...?

Production would start off in late 2009/early 2010. No word on a potential release date.
