Hey U Guys

Is it really 22 years since Dolph Lundgren and a rubber faced Frank Langella battled for control of the Universe?

That film never lived up to the potential of the cartoon and was something of a disappointment. Having the battles raging on Earth instead of under the Eternian sky was a mistake, as was not including Orco; the result was a derivative mess and (this may be against sacred HeyUGuys lore) I didn't really care for it.

In recent years the property has fallen into the maudlin mists of nostalgia, however this has not halted the return of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe to the screen and Variety is reporting that the rights to the film adaptation have moved from Warner Bros to Columbia. Those following the saga of Justin Marks' Grayskull script may be disappointed to learn that Columbia are going back to the drawing board with the movie, jettisoning attached producer Joel Silver and Kung Fu Panda director John Stevenson.

Here's the story from AICN and previously from Variety. We'll watch in muted anticipation.
