New He-man Movie!!

[Sgt.FrankCastle]

As a kid the original Masters of the Universe was like my favorite movie! I'm totally psyched to hear there's a new one comin out. If anyone else is, post info here. All i heard is John Woo is directin and producin so it should look pretty cool. Anyone know who's up for the lead?

[strike-hard]

Anyone now who's up for the lead?

Feldog!

[hitmanyr2k]

From what I remember the He-Man movie with Dolph Lundgren back in the day wasn't too bad. Of course I haven't seen that movie since my childhood so my reaction would probably be "what the f**k was I thinking?" if I saw it again today lol.

[Dark Donnie]

The old one was nothing like the cartoon, but I stil enjoyed it. As possible Feldman casting, im all for it. Bring on HAIM for skeletor.

[GarudA]

I am really excited that they are makin a new He-Man movie, I hope its not like the old movie and more like the cartoon from the 80s.

[Oakley]

I think imdb has Jason Lewis up for the role, too.

[GarudA]

IMDB says this guy is He-Man

I think he looks perfect for the part


Jason Lewis

[GarudA]

Question now is who is gona play the role of this guy?

[Riggs15382]

. I hope this movie has gwildore in it. this guy wont be as good as dolph's he-man

[Hunter Rider]

IMDB says this guy is He-Man

I think he looks perfect for the part


Jason Lewis

http://i.ivillage.com/womn/celebs/jason_lewis_small.jpg

this movie couldn't be any worse than the original bastardization and this guy will be a step up from Doplh lungdren ,a guy so bad he makes segal seem like a good actor:o

[Riggs15382]

Dolph is great

[That-Guy]

Jason Lewis would be good, but I still wish they would make an Icewind Dale movie and cast him as Wulfgar instead. That's a much better story than He-Man, IMO (though He-Man still rocks and was my original childhood hero, even before Superman, Batman, and all the rest).

[Oakley]

Jason Lewis is so friggin hot! I loved him in Sex and the City!

[Prognosticator]

No joking here and i take my actors as serious as possible...I think they need to stick Triple H in here somewhere! He doesn't have to have a lot of dialogue! Either way, he's a way better actor than "the rock". At least he doesn't ham up every scene and chew dialogue like rocky. In fact, his "scary/mean" persona is exactly the kind of no bull---- kickbutt kind of personalities this movie needs!!! He could even be skeletor and someone else could provide a voiceover!!

[Prognosticator]

What has Jason Lewis done/been in? Soaps? Is he just a model? He looks a lot like He-Man

[Mentok]

I thought this movie had been killed off :confused:

[The Lizard]

I thought this movie had been killed off :confused:

That's what I thought too. Didn't John Woo back out months ago?

[Strange]

Its dead in the water people.

[terry78]

Well, somebody needs to pick it up. I would be cool if someone like Zemeckis or Joe Johnston decided to get on board.

[Oakley]

What has Jason Lewis done/been in? Soaps? Is he just a model? He looks a lot like He-Man

Jason Lewis started out as a model and was in some B-movies. He then got a regular gig as Kim Catrell's boyfriend on "Sex and the City" for the final two seasons.

[Human Torch05]

IMDB says this guy is He-Man

I think he looks perfect for the part


Jason Lewis

http://i.ivillage.com/womn/celebs/jason_lewis_small.jpg

I hope nobody kills me.....but he looks like he could play Thor instead. Don't know about his acting skills.

[The Kid]

does he need them? most only care if they look right and can at least sound right anyway....

tobey looks plenty enough like parker but his spidey falls very flat. Nobody really cares.

[Human Torch05]

Keep in mind that Thor is very different from Spidey. All his dialouge is very Shakespearean....

[Human Torch05]

Also your Joker avatar was much better than your current one. More amusing.:)

[Dr.Fear]

tobey doesnt look like anything like peter does, eventhough im a guy but i think the comic version is better looking.

[Honey Vibe]

Its dead in the water people. So was Superman, but then...

[Lighthouse]

Say what you want about the old movie, Langella kicked ass as Skeletor.

[Orko Is King]

Its dead in the water people.

As much as I'd love a He-Man movie, I have to agree.

[CobraCommander]

Say what you want about the old movie, Langella kicked ass as Skeletor.

HELL YES. He needs to return as Skeletor.

[terry78]

Hell, I'm still waiting for confirmation on the G.I. Joe movie.

[CobraCommander]

You and I both terry. Don't hold your breath.

[PimpDaddyDOC-OCK]

I'd love to see a live action She-Ra movie, she was always a damn sexy cartoon character.

[Rob Lobo]

Daniel Goddard for He-Man Dammit!!!

[MOTUFreak]

My Casting Call.....

King Randor-Kevin Sorbo(Dry wit...Strong Presence-Looks good with the Goatee...all he has to do is grow his hair again. He'd be decent)

Queen Marlena- Sigourney Weaver (Has the stoic strength yet sensitive side of the Adams Mom)

Prince Adam-Jesse McCartney/David Gallagher (Perfect age...more Jesse now than David...but they have the acting ability and the look...which is always important)

He-Man - Triple H 0r Australian Body Builder David Rylah (saw the latter on M&F Magazine...he's got the look...dunno about acting ability)

Duncan/Man At Arms-Ted Levine (See him in Monk...he's gruff...yet sensitive...he's got the physical buildfunny...and LOOKS like him)

Teela-Lindsay Lohan (When she was a red head and had a lil meat on her bones...lol...now she could play skeletor)

Startos-Ron Pearlman (Who else? Unless they dubb his voice using a lame Sean Connery impersonator-New Series-lol)

Mekaneck-Bruce Campbell (That chin...w/ CGI for the extended neck...brilliant! Character actors for a rather odd character that's the way I see it.)

Ram-Man-Ryan Hurst (He's big...he can play dumb...yet smart at the same time...saw him in The Ladykillers...and I was like..."He's perfect"!

Orko-CGI (Voiced by Tom Kenny-Spongebob...lol)

Man-E.-Faces-Patrick Warburton (Another Quirky character actor...who I think has the right build and voice for this weird yet memorable character)

Zodac-Lawernce Fishburne (Zodac in the new series was basically a Morpheus rip off anyway...lol...but still he'd be perfect...even if he did play the cowboy from Pee Wee's Playhouse)

The Sorceress-Julianne Moore (Someone who is motherly...nuturing...like in the old series....but it will be a combination of both old and new...she would be super sensitive and strong in will and in her magic...I find Moore can have that..."Hannibal")

Keldor/Skeletor-Willem DaFoe (You saw him in Spidey 1...He's got the bone structure...and the build...he'd be perfect)

Evil Lynn-Rosario Dawson (Beautiful...Strong...can be manipulitive (Sin City). She could pull it off...bigtime.

Beast Man-Tyler Mane (Sabertooth...and...well...the dude from Troy...he's perfect...Either that or Big Show from WWE...although I am trying not to limit my choices to wrestlers)

Trap Jaw-Ralph Mueller (If you've seen him in the Scorpion King...he's got the voice...the build and he's a perfect lacky)

Tri Klops-Either Ray Park (Who has the acting ability and is handy with weapons or Brian Thompson...who has the height build and can weild a sword well)

As far as Whiplash and Clawful get two really big guys and put them in suits...or...CGI them...b/c these characters are HUGE.

Maybe have Dolph cameo as a Royal Guard.

And definitely cast Langella in some sort of fashion...maybe in cameo as HORDAK...maybe the head Elder?


A new He-Man film needs some great physical and character actors in order to make it work... I know it's dead in the water...but as a child of the '80s...a boy can still truly dream.


Thoughts...comments suggestions...anyother hero/villian you would like to add?

Thoughts...comments suggestions...anyother hero/villian you would like to add?please don't be offended, but I just want to say that this is the dorkiest post I've ever read.

[MOTUFreak]

No offense taken...because I am quite the dork with a lot of time on my hands. lol...But hey...although a dork...I'm a nice guy...and fun to get to know...Sorry if it is to dorky. But hey...I'm a MOTU fan...and I had to post something.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Yes, when I said that it was definitely a case of "takes one to know one". :)

[Timstuff]

Question now is who is gona play the role of this guy?

http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/andreessen/804/other/skeletor.jpg

The skeliton from Lost Skeliton of Cadavra could play an awesome Skelitor if he bulks up a bit. :up:

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00020HAY2.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

[Kevin Roegele]

http://www.gmrmedia.com/dolph/gallery/pictures/dolph-m70.jpg

Dolph Lundgren = He-Man

[MOTUFreak]

Well...me thinks I should be honored...because I have the DORKIEST POST EVER! Yes...I did a comic book guy impression right there. lol. ^_^. Hey...Tom Sizemore as STINKOR lol. hehehehe. If any of u guys would like to check out this David Rylah dude...check him out...www.davidrylah.com. I e-mailed him...he thought I knew "people" I wish I did. This guy...would be perfect. lol. Oh BTW, I bought a 14 inch "Wrestling Giants" WWE Figure of Triple H. I'm going to Modify him into...yup...He-Man. LOL. I am a dork...and DORKS RULE THE WORLD!

[killmime1234]

I hope the new one has that little "thing" whose ears went erect when it got aroused or scared... or hungry... or wanted to play music on the multi-dimensional wormhole creating xylophone. That was classic.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

who will Cedric the Entertainer play?

[killmime1234]

nice...

[BT18]

I just saw that rerun of "I love the 80's" today where they talk about He-Man was one of the gayest cartoons ever.

[terry78]

Well, it was kind of unintentionally homoerotic.

[cryptic name]

I just saw that rerun of "I love the 80's" today where they talk about He-Man was one of the gayest cartoons ever.

i just saw that too.

[Timstuff]

But I thought He-Man was supposed to be the manliest man in the universe? :confused:

[MOTUFreak]

Most of the 80s cartoons were homoerotic...even The Smurfs...c'mon...all these guys...one girl...and what was up with Taylor? Geesh...doesn't get any Gayer than that. ^_^ As far as who Cedric might play I dunno...he's talented but I don't see him as a MOTU Character. I didn't even see him portraying Ralph Kramden...I mean...geez. lol.

[MOTUFreak]

Quick casting call change...MARCIA CROSS...Emmy Winner from "Desparate Housewives" as The Sorceress.

[tamron]

I'd really rather see Jason Lewis as Captain America. He's the spitting image of King Kirby's Cap.

[Generation Lee]

Say what you want about the old movie, Langella kicked ass as Skeletor.


You are my hero, he did but then again he kick ass period.

[Oerwinde]

My Casting Call.....

Keldor/Skeletor-Willem DaFoe (You saw him in Spidey 1...He's got the bone structure...and the build...he'd be perfect)


I'm picturing the part in Spider-Man where he screams "We'll meet again, Spider-Man!" and replacing Spider-Man with He-Man... it sounds awesome.

[MOTUFreak]

Exactly...he's got the voice and the maniacal laugh. I am highly against Nic Cage. Because he is already playing a guy with a CGI skeleton for a head...Ghost Rider. I can't believe he named his son Kal El. He is truely a geek. Doesn't he think his kid will be picked on in school?

[The Phantom]

Hell, I wish my name was Kal-El, screw those kids at school!

So should this movie keep the style of the original MOTU film or should it the designs and look of the film be different? I reckon that now we're in a visual age of fantasy that is highly influence by the LOTR films, should a MOTU ever come into fruition anytime soon, it'll follow suit.

[MOTUFreak]

I think it should combine the older series with the newer cartoon. Both had strong visuals and textures and styles. If they can find a way to make that into reality using CGI...that would totally kick ass.

[Dr. Fate]

Perhaps they should hire Daniel Cudmore, who played Colossus in X2, to be He-Man. He's 6'8" and has a similar (though not exactly the same) physique to that of previous He-Man Dolph Lundgren. Cudmore would have to dye his hair though, or wear a wig.

[MOTUFreak]

Well...all in all throught the casting call...seems like I breathed new life into this topic...WHOOT! Does anyone have any other casting suggestions?

[The Phantom]

I think it should combine the older series with the newer cartoon. Both had strong visuals and textures and styles. If they can find a way to make that into reality using CGI...that would totally kick ass.
I'd have to disagree on that one. Unless this is what you'd want end up with.
http://www.loonietimes.com/gallery/He-Man-Skeletor.gif

I wonder what T. Burton would do with He-man if he ever got his hands on it. Especially with Skeletor and Beastman and the like.

[The Phantom]

Or maybe some the movie designs could be similar to the toys shown here.

http://www.toymania.com/custom/Galleries/Kevin/Page1/Beastman%20front.JPG
http://www.toymania.com/custom/Galleries/Kevin/Page1/2Bad%20front.JPG

[MOTUFreak]

Very nice. But I mean not cartoon wise but adapt it realistically onto the big screen. Also the environments. The backgrounds in both series were incredible. Just imagine that in CGI form...and Battle Cat. Wow...that would be awesome. And No...no Burton. Although I do enjoy the man...I don't think he'd be the right director for this film.

[Dr. Fate]

The thought of a new He-Man film kinda scares me. I'd like a new one, but the thought still scares me.

[MOTUFreak]

As long as they do it right...and bring in the characters we all know and love. For now it's just a dead in the water dream for us fans...but yeah...Well we can only rely on fan fiction...and...well...the new Staction Figures. BTW...that pic of He-Man and Skeletor is hiarious. My...God...doesn't get any Gayer than that. lol. And comming from a Gay Man himself...yeah. lol.

[Dr. Fate]

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0507314/photogallery

I think Jason Lewis would make a decent Aquaman.

[MOTUFreak]

Yes yes he would...either him...Paul Walker or...you're gonna kill me for this...Chris Jericho from WWE. lol.

[MOTUFreak]

Well...Lindsay Lohan is no longer SKELETOR she's got back the curves and the red hair. Teela's back!!!

[the_ultimate_evil]

i dont think she could to it, teela needs to be played smart and distant i havnt seen lohan pull stuff like that off yet

[Spider Ranger]

No Offence But He-Man Is Gh3y I Mean Seriously Come On!!

[batman 833]

Well really guys a he-man movie could be really spectacular and epic if done right, the casting well I don't know its kinda tough, but please no wrestlers involved, better take an unknown and make him bulk up and train and he has to know how to act not just look good, the story most have a heart otherwise will end up as just a brainless action film, and I think we don't want that, as for director well I honestly think there are quite a few but I don't know about john woo, he's a great action director, but story wise not so good, I think he-man should be more of an epic film and less of an action film, epic battles with a great story, I would say peter jackson, if not directing at least producing, and wetta at the special effects, the visuals of the cartoons both 80's and the new ones could be used as concepts or start points for the visual style of the film.

and as for he-man I would love to see him with a bit more armor but still showing his muscles, Imagine a great battle sequence with thousands of skeletors minions and beast man as the general of skeletor's army and he-man ridding on battle cat with sword high, and leading the armies of etternia, the royal army from the palace, and maybe some savage people who had been opressed by skeletor, more so imagine skeletor and beastman's make up made by the guys at wetta, and a full cgi battle cat by them also.

[MOTUFreak]

That would be very awesome...and I do agree...but which unknown...since actors are sooo thin...would pull the part off nicely. Most are well like me...thin as hell. LOL. They would have to bulk up and train a lot in order to play the part. Back to Lohan...have we really seen her in a powerful role? I personally think she does have the look...all she needs to do is shed the Disney image...b/c she's been in soooo many disney films. She just needs to shed that demeanor. But tis just my choice for the part.

[the_ultimate_evil]

No Offence But He-Man Is Gh3y I Mean Seriously Come On!!


well gee arnt you just full of wit and intelligence:rolleyes:

[ZER0C00L]

I am the most Powerful Man in the Universe!! I HAVE THE POWER!!!http://www.retrojunk.com/details_theme/14/

[MOTUFreak]

That rocks..BRILLIANT!

[J.p1337!]

I got to admit a He-man movie would be 1337! id go to see it with a bunch of mates just for laughs

[MOTUFreak]

No Offence But He-Man Is Gh3y (Gay)I Mean Seriously Come On!!

Well he has FABULOUS Secret Powers...and he HAS been known to hold aloft his magic sword....hmmm...you may have a point there.

[superkong 500]

Okay what ever they say, but now seriously the way I envision he-man if the story is well written and the story has heart, it could end up being even better than lord of the rings, and Iam a huge LotR fan so Iam not joking here, this movie could be the most epic movie in decades.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

he's GH3Y(gay)?

oh, he's GH3Y(gay)

[Dr. Fate]

So how many of us want a new He-Man film? Raise your hands, please.

[superkong 500]

So how many of us want a new He-Man film? Raise your hands, please.
Count me in!

[MOTUFreak]

I would most definitely. After all I did a casting call (Too much time on my hands/viable He-Fan here)...maybe Keira Knightley(King Arthur) as Teela. She could work better. She is...kick ass physical and she has acting chops no doubt. And I do agree...if done right (and maybe if shot in NEW ZELAND as was LOTR and NARNIA) it will be a film definitely worth seeing. An epic among epics...and a revitalizer to the MOTU Toy Franchise.

[Dr. Fate]

Anyone here remember Thundarr: The Barbarian? Kinda reminded me of He-Man & The Masters of the Universe.

[Robot Komakino]

The skeliton from Lost Skeliton of Cadavra could play an awesome Skelitor if he bulks up a bit. :up:

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00020HAY2.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

that is quite possibly one of the funniest movies ever

[superkong 500]

Come on guys lets start fan casting this film, I have my ideas of the story, with details on battle scenes and everything, I will post it later. do not let this thread die, this is not only for the MOTU fans but for the fans of epic fantasy movies as well.

[Dr. Fate]

How about Liam Neeson as King Randor (father of He-Man/Adam), Viggo Mortensen as Man-At-Arms, Miranda Otto as the Sorceress, and some generic cute waif as Teela? (c'mon, you know that's what they'll do in the end with Teela)

Try casting She-Ra/Adora...

[superkong 500]

Liam neeson would be perfect for adams father and the king of eternia who could be the queen dont have a name yet. as for manatarms duncan, I don't think viggo is right for the role, hes a great actor hes perfect as aragorn, and thats the reason, if he goes manatarms, people wil see hi mas aragorn and not manatarms, I think he's better i n;eading roles rather than fatherly figures, wich duncan in a way is, as for he-man, well I would go with an unknown, but if I had to choose from some actors I would say this jason lewis guy, but I need to see if he can act, because for this role he would need to have two personalities play to characters much like clark\supes, adam\he-man would have to be as different as day and night, i nthe sense of voice tone and attitude specially, and lewis would have to put atleast 35 or 40 pounds, I mean I want he-man not some model trying to play him, if christian bale puts and takes weight for his roles, then so can anyone else and for he-man we need someone that can act and that has the looks and charisma also, plus the body too.

the sorceres could be miranda, or well someone like nicole kidman. but maybe an unknown brittish or australian actress.

[MOTUFreak]

Look at my original post...it has changed some...but yeah. I still think that Ted Levine (From Monk) would make a kick ass Man-At-Arms. He's got the right age...the physical build...the look...the acting ability and the gruffness of the character. I see him I think Duncan/Man-At-Arms.

[MOTUFreak]

OH and did I mention...for Keldor/Skeletor...Willem Dafoe???? Just look at him in Spidey 1! Perfect voice..build...ability...and he's got the facial bone structure to be skeletor. Brilliant...on my part I think. But I have been mulling around with casting a lot as of late. Look at my first post on this board and see what you think superkong.

[MOTUFreak]

Anyone here remember Thundarr: The Barbarian? Kinda reminded me of He-Man & The Masters of the Universe.

Yes I do...I liked that show as well. He had a kick ass Lazer Sword...he was a HANNA BARBARIAN!!! BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!

[superkong 500]

OH and did I mention...for Keldor/Skeletor...Willem Dafoe???? Just look at him in Spidey 1! Perfect voice..build...ability...and he's got the facial bone structure to be skeletor. Brilliant...on my part I think. But I have been mulling around with casting a lot as of late. Look at my first post on this board and see what you think superkong.

well first I think liam neeson would be perfect for king randor, as for the queen maybe cate blanchet or other known actress, the thing is that theres no room for all those characters you posted, we most get the best the most important, and the ones that can be translated to screen, okay man-at-arms well, remember that we are in a time that fantasy films are on the top of their game, and that for this kind of epic fantasy movie, we need people that can act and that are suited for this kind of stories, and not everyone is, okay as I was saying for duncan I think we most change his outfit, into a more medieval armor, of course with the bracelet blaster, but get rid of the silly helmet, give him a more detailed simetric better shaped helmet, with eternian motives engraved on it, but he needs to be the general of the royal guard and of the eternian army, so his helmet will have his superior rank engraved in it, and some golden lines, that the soldiers or other officers wont have, that will distinguish him, okay he most have a sword, a real metal not the lightsword he uses on the series, this is not SW you know, okay for him we need an autoritarian person I think his character as all of them needs an up-date, I think he should be more serious, and not be the guy that orko ridicules all the time,


he needs to be the guy that trains adam in sword-skills and the art of hand-to hand combat, so for him I will say cast an unknown newzealander or aussie actor, in his early 50's, with a strong masculine presence. Okay teela, shes a mayor character so no drama queens here please, but in the other hand I think theres a bit of that glamour needed (and a lot of grace0 so I would go with misha bartonhttp://www.theocshow.com/photopost/data/5/1mischa_gm3.jpg

and well shes beautifull, and I think she can play the role, both physically and psicologicaly, just put ten more pounds on her but there are others that can play the role as well, as for skeletor, we need a good actor but one that is built also , not body builder wrestler built, but buffed , he will probably should eventually use a muscle prostetic suit, with nails and everything. beast man, for him use sala baker who played orks urukhai and sauron in LOTR, again full body suit with sculpted musles and prostetics fur nails/ claws lens ,fangs, nose the whole package, merman, the same thing use a stunt double who can act with his body well , and half prostetics have cgi, face and fins could be cg, and the big fish eyes too, but change his look to one more badass and monstrous, instead of the old fish look, you know what I mean, trap jaw well also half prostetic half cgi his mechanical leg green covered to later add cgi work on it, the ahnd can be a prostetic with some cg, his face however is more difficult prostetic from mouth up full cgi from mouth down all metal texture cgi, specially when he speaks, it could look really cool, for the bad guys thats enough I think, they are the mayor baddies, but we also need an army, of henchmen, make them like orcs, btu not a ripoff, make them with humanoid ears but horrible faces with scars, and kinda mutated, they could be created by skeeltor using his magic, they could live in caves until skeletor calls upon them to destroy the eternians and make them slaves. so this disgusting creatures could be built, muscualr like urukhais but with well grey sticky skin sweaty, dirty, rusty armor, some with green skin like putrid, lots of scars, carriyng huge spiked weapons and axes. what a battle could we ahve by the end of the movie, battle cat all cgi have weta do the prostetics, swords guns, creatures enviroments miniatures, royal palace, grey skull castle, snake mountain imagine that all made by weta, pure beauty, final battle in front of castle greyskull, okay got carried a way a bit, but thats what and how it should be done IMO, okay skeletor, as i said before muscle body suit, long cloak dark purple almost black, skull like the one in the new series, btu with meaner eye sockets, and with eyes, green eyes that would shine in the dark almost florescent. believe me the way I imagine this it would look super spectacular,

he-man, oh next post Iam tired know but he also needs a little up-date look of course you will be able to easily tell who he is, just a little twitching here and there. what do you think MOTU freak.

[superkong 500]

okay since teela is suposed to be brunnete or red head, here's and the pic I posted of misha is blond, here's two more pics of her lets say looking more teela likehttp://www01.charityfolks.com/assets/post_misha.jpg

[Kabuki_Jo]

Stunning gal!:)

[superkong 500]

A damn trying to mantain this thread alive, later on I will post my ideas of how the story should be.

[Lazlo Panaflex]

Wasn't John Woo also directing a Ninja Turtles movie?

[WallCrawl]

Wasn't John Woo also directing a Ninja Turtles movie?

That was a rumor from a while ago, long since dead.

[Atrax robustus]

The old one was nothing like the cartoon, but I stil enjoyed it. As possible Feldman casting, im all for it. Bring on HAIM for skeletor.
I enjoyed it too, but as you say it was nothing like the cartoon.
Would have been much better if they had stuck to the source material (comic or cartoon)

As long as the new one aint like the new He-man with the spaceships n stuff (I was physically sick when I saw what they did to him :( )

[superkong 500]

well there's always been space ships in the he-man series the original or the new one, but the new one exagerated, the only ships they should use are the small crafts that transport the royal armies, not even the stupid looking jetski ones from the original, nor the tank, but one things for me atleast the new he-man looks far much cooler than the original one the sword on the new series is ridiciulus they have to follow the design of the 80's cartoon sword just make it sleeker and thinner, with more finnese if you will. but apart from the ugly sword, the new he-man looks beter the bambraces(gauntlets) look much better the hair the body shape has more simetry(less boxy frame) he looks much cooler, and make skeeltor like the new series, bare foot with the legs armor and more evil looking skull and long fangs.

[Atrax robustus]

The 2002 He-man actually looks kinda cool. ( I just googled about for a bit)

But wasnt there one between the original and the 2002 one?
Because as far as I remember, it SUCKED!

Edit to add.............

http://www.he-man.org/cartoon/hm/index-hm.jpg

Thats the one.... AAARRGGHH!!!!

[Atrax robustus]

Oh my god did that piece of crap actually aired on tv, I mean did that version actually existed, know I know you confused this piece of crap with the newest 2002 version.
I havent seen the 2002 version at all. I didnt know there was a new one till I googled there just now.
The "new" one I was referring to was the bad one I posted the pic about.

I'll have to try and catch the new one.

[Atrax robustus]

Some cool ideas.
To be honest, I only have vague recollections of He-man from the original cartoon.
When the awful "New Adventures" was released I disregarded He-man and kinda forgot about him. I can remember many of the characters... Duncan, He-man, Skelator, Cringer, Battle Cat, Skelators black panther, Evilynne (sp?), the guy with the stretchy neck (I think he was a later character from what I remember). I had a bunch of the toys as a kid. Snake Mountain was cool. But as far as for whos playing the characters, I must admit that I dont recall enough about their actual characters (personalities) or relationships to really comment.
Id only be doing it on a looks basis and that would be a poor thing to base a casting call on. :p

[superkong 500]

snake mountain for me is like the tower of the eye in LOTR. but maybe even cooler, with the mountainn's snake shape oozing lava from its mouth. it should be a spectacular visual in a new movie, of course if its done right

[the_ultimate_evil]

snake mountain should be a mixture of the classic and the new mvp toon look. the main thing the movie has to have is a decent story the rest will follow. i'd rather see something similer to LOTRS rather than the later conans

[superkong 500]

snake mountain should be a mixture of the classic and the new mvp toon look. the main thing the movie has to have is a decent story the rest will follow. i'd rather see something similer to LOTRS rather than the later conans that's they way I'am imagining it no conan style more LOTR, also with the sword, no huge bulking sword but a more beautiful much thinner detailed sword the blade itself should be like aragorn's sword but a little bit thicker but with finnese and beauty, cool looking ,not just some piece of metal to cut down the enemy. BTW could you post a pic of the other snake mountain version or a comparative two pics of both SM versions?

[MOTUFreak]

Mischa Barton...not bad...not bad. In that one pic she sort of has a combonation of the curls going on from the original series and the kick ass red locks from the 2002 series. I do like the idea of Keira or Lindsay playing her. I think Liam Neeson is a decent choice for the loving yet stern Randor. He always seems to play the voice of reason...the person one can look up to. My choice for Skeletor is still Willem Dafoe. He's got musculature and the bone structure and the laugh anyway. And I stick by my choice of Ted Levine as Duncan. But if you look at one of my earlier posts....I did post up a casting call. Oh and I totally agree with the idea of it being EPIC like LOTR. A good fantasy director should be hired for this one. Any suggestions?

-AT LAST I CAN REALLY COUGH

-AT LAST I CAN REALLY COUGH Well I would go with the obvious choice peter jackson, but I don't thin khe will do it, unless he got interested in the characters, but if not peter I would go with james cameron or ang lee, lee has demonstrated his skills for drama once more in broke back mountain, although I havent seen the movie I am sure it is great, in hulk he did a good job, its just that he should ahve cut atleast ten minutes of the first act, but you can't expect too much fro ma hulk movie no matter who does it, however kong is different because is full of different fantasy elements landaction thats breath taking and kong is simply the greatest cgi creation at this date, well the thing is that cameron would be perfect to direct he-man, he has done epics, and titanic is an epic, plus he's the best action director, terminator2 says it all, but since he's directing battle angel alita I would say ang lee its a safe choice and can still deliver the movie as good as cameron would, maybe even as good as jackson although thats difficult. for the special effects I would go with Weta hands down the best for this kind of movie, creature prostetics make-up, cgi, scanning dgital rendering digital enviroment rendering and everything else.

damn triple post:mad:

[MOTUFreak]

I was gonna say...you got your point across geesh. LOL. James Cameron is doing a live action version of an Anime I believe "Battle Angel". I think he would be good. A visionary director is exactly what a film like this could use. Of course this film should use elements of humor. All of which these Sci-FI/Fantasy directors often have. Someone mentioned Robert Zemeckis earlier...and he would be good. I think even an off cuff choice would be Terry Gilliam. But Jackson would be perfect to direct such a feature. New Zealand is such a lush landscape and is perfect for any kind of fantasy film. (Hence why they filmed Narnia there-lol). But there are a lot of great directors to choose from. And methinks a great writer should be attatched to such a film. And I think we should give a screenwriter from the 2002 cartoon/comicbook...which followed and even added to...the great mythology to these great characters. Not some lame "College frat comedy" dude...like the guy that Fox 2000 hired to write the screenplay when John Woo was attatched.

Not some lame "College frat comedy" dude...like the guy that Fox 2000 hired to write the screenplay when John Woo was attatched. oh I didn't know thank god then that the movie didn't gto the green light, btw about Gillian please no he did that crappy brothers grim movie which was awful I think, but zemeckis well maybe yes, other than that I stick to cameron,or ang lee well jackson is my first choice but that won't happen, so Ill go with ang lee, maybe chris nolan he would be perfect also, but he has to get a great screen writer, one that also kind of controls him because he-amn is fantasy at its best and nolan tends to push reality too much, of course for batman is perfext but for MOTU he should keep the fantasy but make it i na serious tone not cheesy dialogue or stupid jokes and nolan's perfect for being serious he makes his movies almost too serious, as for the battles and fights bring an action director just for those nolan cuts edits the fights too close and too fast, but with an action director filming the action then and nolan crafting the story , it will be perfect.

[MOTUFreak]

Chris Nolan is a decent choice too...plus there is continuity between He-Man and Batman...A name Paul Dini. He worked on the original series as well as the Batman Animated series. Maybe he could have some insight into the direction of the film. NO doubt it must have humor...but nothing too overboard. Gilliam was a name I threw out there as a director. He has done some wild and visionary stuff in the past. (One of my favorite films "Time Bandits") But I do think he has lost his way. Ever since "The Man WHo Killed Don Quixote" debacle. Well if Transformers has Michael Bay at the helm...and with Spielberg producing...imagine what can be done with Masters.

[superkong 500]

I think it would be great with spielberg directing it, or nolan directing it and spielberg producing, but please no michael bay his work is good for what he does which is mainly action, but this is and action adventure with epic proportions, so I would stick with nolan and spielberg, maybe another choice could be wolfgang petersen but I am not too sure about that. and for paul dinni he's perfect he wrote many of the original series stories, yes I don't know about you but I bought the MOTU dvd series volume 1 and the special features are pretty good on disc six, it talks about dinni's involvement with the series and everything else about it, you probably have it though judging by your name lol, well what do you think, who else could be in the list?

[MOTUFreak]

I wasn't talking about Micael Bay helming He-Man...I was talking about him directing the Transformers film...and Spielberg is producing that. Robert Rodriguez is a decent director...as long as he doesn't use the premise to become one of his Kids Flicks. But he is a geek and quite a visionary director. And goes by source material. (Sin City) That is what was so special about Nolan. Ridley Scott has made some interesting films in his day. Most of which were on the side of sci fi and sword and sorcery. Which would be a decent mix b/c this is He-Man. LOL. Petersen is a pretty awesome choice...but he'd probably cast Brad Pitt as He-man. Hmmm...anyone else have any other suggestions? PS: Yes of course I bought Season One: Volume One. Complete regression back to childhood is almost complete.

[Dr. Fate]

Has Peter Jackson or Gore Verbinski been listed as potential MOTU director candidates?

[superkong 500]

Has Peter Jackson or Gore Verbinski been listed as potential MOTU director candidates? No unfortunately, btw verbinski would be a good choice also, I didn't though about him before, oh and somewhere in the boards there's a new rumour about smallville's young lex luthor signing on to play skeletor in john woo's he-man, if this is true then the movie is going to happen which is good, but at the same time it really worries me since I don't think john woo is the right director for this movie,he's good with action, but Iam afraid fantasy is not he's cornerstone, if you know what I mean, and lex as skeletor? what the hell is that he's to skinny and well he just don't look like he could do skeletor justice, this could end up being and outrageous action extravaganza, and not a spectacular fantasy film, this could end up like dolph laundren's he-man agh, hopefullay this isn't true.

[MOTUFreak]

Michael Rosenbaum is WAYYYYY too young to play Keldor/Skeletor. What is needed...since he IS Randors brother...is someone close to the age of whomever would play Randor. But it pretty much makes an interesting idea. A full circle sort of thing. He-Mans first comicbook appearance he tusseled with Superman...Michael Rosenbaum is Lex Luthor on Smallville...in Bryan Singers SUperman Returns...Frank Langella (Who played Skeletor in the original feature) is playing Perry White. LOL! Anywho...Gore Verbinski is one kick ass choice for Director. We can only hope this...if Woo is still attatched to the project...that he ends up just producing. Woo is directing (Or has directed) The Rock in Spyhunter...(I HOPE that he doesn't end up being He-Man. If I were to choose a wrestler it'd be either Triple H or a guy by the name of Mark Jindrak) But its good to hear some rumblings about the film...I hope they have the original characters and such. And the guy that signed to pen the script is a B-Movie guy...so it might end up just as cheesey..if not more...as the original (WHich I love anyway). THAT has me worried. We can only hope that guys like Paul Dini and Dean Steffan and maybe even the creator of the franchise Roger Sweet can come aboard the project simply because they have insight. Maybe even get some of the artists (Like Emilio Santaluca-He did a kick ass job) from the old and new series and the comic books to help with the production design and costuming and prop design. There is news about production...www.he-man.org has posted up and article about the movie. It is rather interesting...but it is still pretty much dead in the water. But is still on the independent movie database...which means it is still alive...somewhat. Mr. Woo...if you ever go on this board. We need a good script...we need a great director...we need a cast of ACTORS (such as most Superhero films do nowadays)..we don't need this film to be cheesey and campy. There should be elements of it...but what we need is an epic..effects laden film with awesome battle scenes with swords...sorecery...and science...with lush and beautiful scenery. Either in New Zealand...or you could pull a Lucas and do it on blue screen. We want to see ETERNIA in all of its glory. And something that abides by the mythology of the character. Basically...perfection. To honor such a brand name. Yep...fellow members...THAT's pretty much why I go by MOTU FREAK. LOL! BTW...Happy New Year to everyone!!! (Was this post long enough? LOL)

[MOTUFreak]

I checked IMDB.com. You confused me Super Kong. LOL. It isn't the guy that plays LEX...Its the guy that plays Lex's Father LIONEL LUTHOR!!! John Glover (No relation to Danny). Personally he has the look for the man who was once Keldor. But I dunno if he has the Musculature...or the sword skill. But he does make a pretty good villian. And it looks like Jason Lewis is no longer attatched to play everyones favorite "most powerful man in the Universe". So the role is up for grabs. I saw this guy on the cover of muscle and fitness magazine...he's an Aussie...he's done very little acting...but he has the look. Unfortunately not the height. Check him out. www.davidrylah.com. I still think the screen writer ADAM RIFKIN is worthy enough. Just check out his film credits and you'd understand why. I do have to admit though...I'm glad there still is some life in this film. John Woo is still attatched to direct apparently. The Executive Producers credits scare me as well...check out www.imdb.com for both Adam Rifkin and Rodney Ferrell. But Woo's Producer Terrence Chang has pretty decent screen credits. (Simply b/c if you look him up...the name WOO comes up...time and time again...LOL). But hell at least there's life. Let me ask you guys a question...did anyone notice that Karg...the name of the big haired baddie with the hook on the original film was named after the little dragon that turned huge in the original series? The pet of the villian Azrog in the episode "Th Return of Orkos Uncle"! And did anyone notice...in I Love The 80s: 3D on VH-1 Dolph Lundgren. He looks great! Definitly part of He-Man lore...and should be part of this new film...in a cameo or something. Anyways...just thought I'd clear up the confusion.

Yea sorry I was confused, it is luthors father not luthor himsef, but still he doesn't have the muscle and, well acting wise he's pretty good but nothing else, lets wait for some official confirmation. I just check this david rylah and he's body would be great for he-man, but his face I don't know I really want someone that can resemble the look of a younger he-man, I don't know if you are wiht me on this one MOTU freak but I wanna see a younger he-man, someone around 27 28 years old, I love the original series in terms of the story and the visuals, but for he-man's look I would like him to resemble more the he-man from the new series, with a more stylized less boxy physical frame and a younger face, plus we need someone who can really act, I don't want them to cast another dolph laundren or a wrestler if you know what I mean.:)

Isnt there a Bald Guy with an Eye Patch ? Thats who Michael can play :up:

[MOTUFreak]

I just e-mail he-man.org and give them what I think is pretty cool news. Especially the deal with the name KARG being in the original cartoon series. And I do agree Val Staples is THE source for any MOTU news. But I still find it interesting that there are rumors about the project rumbling around. Superkong...I do agree with you...but look at his pic in Muscle and Fitness Magazine where he is in the water. He's not all that shiney and wrinkly from lifting anything. THAT is the pic that caught my eye. Plus when He-Man is Adam...he's supposed to be in his teens. When he's He-Man he's well All Man. In the original Filmation series they wanted to have Adam look younger and change him into the bulking He-Man...but the thing is...it cost too much so they made him look exactly the same. Only with darker skin...and with darker hair. I think that the Mike Young Productions version was dead on. I think a younger actor...like Jesse McCartney or maybe even David gallagher should play Adam. And maybe a muscle bound heroic looking ACTOR...to play The Most Powerful Man In The Universe. Rylah has the physique but unfortunately he stands under 6 feet. I believe he's 5'8" tall according to his site. I actually e-mailed him telling him he should try out for the role. He e-mailed me back wondering if I knew anyone in the biz...I replied "Well FOX 2000 studios (at the time) was producing the film. And the base, I believe in in Australia (where the guy is from). I don't know anyone in the biz...but you should just audition". I think they should go with a younger Adam...and a more mature looking guy for He-Man. (Triple H does have a certain He-Man quality to him...but I think he's too ugly big nose...slack jawed...short wrinkly and bladed up forehead). But as long as the actor they choose to play He-Man...I hope he's good enough.

[MOTUFreak]

I just e-mail he-man.org and give them what I think is pretty cool news. Especially the deal with the name KARG being in the original cartoon series. And I do agree Val Staples is THE source for any MOTU news. But I still find it interesting that there are rumors about the project rumbling around. Superkong...I do agree with you...but look at his pic in Muscle and Fitness Magazine where he is in the water. He's not all that shiney and wrinkly from lifting anything. THAT is the pic that caught my eye. Plus when He-Man is Adam...he's supposed to be in his teens. When he's He-Man he's well All Man. In the original Filmation series they wanted to have Adam look younger and change him into the bulking He-Man...but the thing is...it cost too much so they made him look exactly the same. Only with darker skin...and with darker hair. I think that the Mike Young Productions version was dead on.

Okay can you tell me how the hell to post in those forums, because I've tried twice and it says that my e-mail adress is not acepted, and I have a regular hotmail account, is there something I most do to become a member? man I can't wait to discuss my ideas about the movie with fans of MOTU ,weird that MOTU freak hasn't mention this forum.


you need an e-mail that is not a free account. they stoped doing that after certain people created multiple accounts and spammed the boards

[MOTUFreak]

I don't think it should be the same actor at all. I apologize...but He-Man should be totally different than Adam. Like a costume and a mask to conceal his identity. Adam and He-Man should be separate identities. As far as newer undiscovered actors...I do not know. There is a lot of talent out there...undisovered and such. If they are undiscovered...I do not know what to say. But I think He-Man should be a man...whereas Adam should remain a boy. It would make more sense...b/c if Adam and He-Man look exactly the same...it'd be like...the original series. You'd be like...How can Skeletor not tell He-Man and Adam are the same person??? I know where you're going...keeping with the original series. But I think it'd add to the mystery and the mythos of the character to have a scrawny...cowardly...lazy 16 year old kid...change into a heroic..muscley...confident and strong MAN that looks to be in his early to mid 20s. As far as unknowns...I'll say it again...I have no clue. That's why they're called Unknowns. LOL. I agree Jason Lewis does have the look...but he'd have to pack on a lot of muscle. He's wayyy too skinny.

[kamillon66]

He-man = Brock Lessner
Adam = David Galliger

He's wayyy too skinny. Well you have your opinion I have mine, and that's perfect, but if you put adam a young 16 17 year old and then he-man a 20 something guy it could look like shazam, okay remember clark and superman, you have to sometimes suspend disbelief, but not that much, you can have adam being kind of lazy sometimes and always beautifully dressed with silks and different layers of fabrics and his hair combed to the sides , you know a pretty boy style look, then when he becomes he-man you see his muscles, his hair pulled back without touching his fore head, his face determined, serious, it could work, and well jason lewis is very skinny yes but if christian bale wenr from crack addict shape to superhero shape, lewis or other actors should not have a problem, and for the different looks, this is why a good actor is needed the performance will be crucial to separate adam/ from he-man, voice change, body movements different, expression change. believe it, with hair style changes ,voice tone transformation, and great acting he-man and adam can be the same actor and look very different in the two roles, as he-man he could change his atitude and everything and look much more manly and stronger.

[superkong 500]

Hey what happen MOTU freak where are you? come on lets hear more ideas.

[Dr. Fate]

Yes I do...I liked that show as well. He had a kick ass Lazer Sword...he was a HANNA BARBARIAN!!! BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!
When will Thundarr get a new movie/comic book series/cartoon? When? When oh Lord of all things 80s, when?

BTW: Who's Brock Lessner?

[MOTUFreak]

Lord of all thing 80s? LOL. Well how about a casting call for C.O.P.S., M.A.S.K., VISIONARIES, The CENTURIONS, VOLTRON, Thundercats etc...LOL. Dude I don't think Brock Lesnar is the best choice for He-Man...he is more of the villian type anyway. Maybe uhhh...Whiplash? LOL. Now, Superkong I do agree with you on the Superman/Clark Kent scenario and suspending disbelief. But you must always know...the audience is smarter. Plus the 16 year old kid turning into the dashing cut and heroic He-Man was the original premise for the character anyway. It is very Captian Marvel/SHAZAM! However...I think it would benefit the film more character wise.

[da creole kid]

The more gay subtext the better.

Society needs more gay subtext.

[MOTUFreak]

Dr. Fate....Brock Lesnar is a former Collegiate Wrestler and WWE Champion. He is now the IWGP Champion in Japan. and I do not know when a Thundarr movie is comming out. If the same production companies get the rights...well...they can do a crossover Ala Batman/Superman. BTW...did u get it? "HANNA-BARBARIAN" I know..I'm a dork.

[MOTUFreak]

...Maybe. LMAO. Maybe a little tongue in cheek. Like barely there. Like most Superhero movies are. (Have you seen Brandon Routh in HIS Superman Costume...now that's purdy gay. And I would know ^_^)

I get the gag. I went over the top to be funny. Don't watch much wrestling to be honest with you.

[MOTUFreak]

You know who would make a decent MOTU Character??? That one HUGE dude from Adam Sandlers Longest Yard.

[superkong 500]

yes that guy is enormous I was gonna say that he should play beastman but he's to big for even that role how the hell is he-man gonna fight him, but he could play one of skeletors army commanders or generals.

[MOTUFreak]

I think he should play maybe Whiplashor Clawful....I'm up for Tyler Mane (X-Men/Troy) or WWE's Big Show Paul Wight as Beast Man...Ralph Mueller (Scorpion King/Conan TV Series) as Trap Jaw Brian Thompson (X-Files/Mortal Kombat Anniahlation (I know I didn't spell that right LOL) maybe as Tri-Klops. Rosario Dawson (Sin City) as Evil Lyn. But I am sticking with my choice of WIllem Dafoe as Keldor/Skeletor. I think he's quintesential.

[MOTUFreak]

As far as Heroes...I've always liked the idea of Randor being played by Liam Neeson. He's used to being the father figure. He can be extremely physical. And he has been in many a fantasy film. (Star Wars/Batman Begins/Darkman/Krull and Excalibur). Ted Levine (Silence of the Lambs/Monk) is absolutely PERFECT for the role of Duncan/Man At Arms. Lindsay Lohan has the look of Teela but I don't know now of her acting chops...if she wants a change of pace and to be physical...I think she could pull it off. But I'm swinging toward Kiera Knightley (King Arthur/Domino). Ron Pearlman (Hellboy) as Startos. Patrick Warburton (The Tick/Seinfeld) as Man-E Faces. ANd check this guy out...he'd be perfect for Ram Man. All they'd have to do is either force perspective or CGI him to make him look bigger than he actually is but an actor from the movie The Ladykillers(Cohen Bros. remake). A hulk of a guy that can play dumb and equally smart. An actor by the name of Ryan Hurst. As far as The Sorceress...for the classic feel. The spiritual motherly guide...I'd go with Julianne Moore. But if I am to base it on look alone(Especially from the most recent series...maybe Desparate Housewives Marcia Cross). As far as Mekaneck or Buzz Off (Not too sure which one)...I orignally opted for Bruce Campbell. But I feel he may be too old. As far as Marlena...I do not know.

[Dr. Fate]

I totally support the idea of Marcia Cross as the Sorceress.

Anyone know an actor who could supply a good Orko voice?

[MOTUFreak]

Tom Kenny The VOICE of Spongebob Squarepants????

[superkong 500]

Iam wondering could orko be put onscreen with out looking silly and campy, I mean he would have to be done with cgi, maybe make him darker physically, more serious. I think its a tough one to make orko look realistic onscreen and at the same time the comic relief.

[Dr. Fate]

He can't possibly come off worse than Jar Jar Binks.

[MOTUFreak]

Orko as a dark character? Not campy? I dunno about that. Orko is supposed to be odd...a klutz....a not so great magician. His character is supposed to be silly. An accidental foil more or less. With the emphasis on sword and sorcerey intermixed with technology...it doesn't have to be THAT realistic. Eternia is a reality all in its own. There's a mythos about it. The filmmakers should keep the fantasy elements about the film (Orko being one). They shouldn't make it so human. Should there be elements of humanity and such? Indeed. Because that was an emphasis in the original cartoon. As far as learning. Making characters more realistic would take away from the film and the mythology of what makes MOTU so great. If you make Orko more realistic...why not Battle cat? Why not Skeletor? and many of the other characters? Its a sci fi/fantasy franchise...and it should be kept that way. And LOL on the Jar Jar reference Dr. Fate! True and hilarious. As a matter of fact...Gwildor was put into the original film b/c well...they didn't have the technology to produce an Orko. (But the great Billy Barty was fantastic in the role none the less "Moo! Moo!") But now...with CGI...anything is possible. And for a movie like this...it would be a very very good thing.

[superkong 500]

He can't possibly come off worse than Jar Jar Binks. Yea I know but that doesn't say much since jar jar was really bad IMO, I htink orko could be physicaly like a yoda type of character, maybe make him more real looking, and his clothes robes, could be a little washed out, to give him a more convincing look.

[superkong 500]

Well when I said more realistic I didn't mean like a human, I mean in terms of cgi skin texture, make him look real that when you see him you belief he's there with the other characters and not just a special effect, imagine gollum real or king kong real, and I like the silly aspect of orko, I just say they could make him in a way that we feel what he feels make us care for him as someone trying to improve himself to help his friends, just like i n the original series.

[Dr. Fate]

Maybe they should just get Gabe Khouth, who voiced Orko in the 2002 series (he also voiced Mekaneck) to do Orko's voice for the film. He sounded almost exactly like Lou Scheimer, who voiced Orko in the 1983 series (in addition to King Randor, Stratos, Man-E-Faces, Mekaneck, Zodac, Sy-Klone, Moss Man, Trapjaw, Tri-Klops, Kobra Khan, Clawful, Jitsu, Spikor, Two-Bad, Galen Nycroft/Modulok - he had to actually use a 2nd name for half those characters, "Erik Gunden" - and was also the series producer).

[superkong 500]

Well obviously not all the characters can make it to the movie, because otherwise it would be either overkill or the movie would ahve to be 4 hours long, but I think for the bad guys you need skeletor of course, and beastman, merman,maybe evil lynn, and one of those snake guys would be cool, beastman could be made with a big actor stuntman in heavy prosthetic make-up, evil lynn a very good actress that can be really evil, merman could be real eye candy he could be done ussing a mix of prostethics creature suit and cgi, if weta does the fx then merman could be completely cgi and he would look completely realistic.

As for Orko I don't know we need a very good voice actor.

[Dr. Fate]

Kane Hodder for Beast Man!
http://www.autographedtoyou.com/celebpics/kane_hodder4.jpg
Height: 6'3 1/2" (1.92 meters)
Weight: Unknown but judging by his girth most likely over 200 lbs.

Or Ken Kirzinger.
http://www.videomax.ro/Images/Actors/1429_a_normal.jpg
Height: 6'5"
Weight: Don't know, but like Kane he's probably over 200 pounds. http://www.comicon.com/pulse/images/motu_beastman.jpg

Maybe they should use that Daniel Cudmore fellow who played Colossus in X2 as He-Man... dude's 6'8" and really bulked up, just stick a blonde wig on him.

Any ideas for who'd make a good Stratos?

[superkong 500]

Yea Kane Hooder could be beastman, as for stratos I don't know ,if he was in the movie he's physical appereance would have to change a bit, but I have no idea of who could play him, Daniel cudmore has the physique but he's way too tall and he doesn't have the face he doesn't look like he-man too much. there are a lot of actors that could play he-man even unknowns, which is who I think a director should cast as he-man an unknown.

[Dr. Fate]

Dolph Lundgren stood 6'6". Just because Cudmore has two more inches we shouldn't hold that against him.

[superkong 500]

Dolph Lundgren stood 6'6". Just because Cudmore has two more inches we shouldn't hold that against him.

Well you have a point there, but does he look like he-man? that's the question, I just don't know as for the acting I haven't seen him in a movie other than X2 and he didn't talk too much, but everything is possible who knows.

[MOTUFreak]

Hodder and the other guy both would make a decent Fisto. 6'3" and 6'5" tall is indeed tall...but Beast Man should be well...huge. and I'm sorry but WWE Wrestler Big Show fits the bill. He looks like him...even w/o the make up. As far as Cuddmore as He-Man. I dunno. He has a physical presence about him. But methinks one should wait for his star to rise before anything happens. He hasn't even spoken yet. And BTW...I still think they should do separate Adam/He-Man to differenciate the characters. But thats just me. LOL. (Look below for more casting suggestions as far as Beast Man)

[jdogg willie]

WWE Wrestler Big Show fits the bill. He looks like him...even w/o the make up. As far as Cuddmore. I dunno. Wait for his star to rise before anything happens.

You are really contradicting yourself there, MOTU. Wait for Cuddmore to be in other films, but you want to cast Big Show right out of wrestling with no acting experience on the big screen at all? Shame, shame, I thought you had more judgement than that

[MOTUFreak]

Show is just a thought. But the character Beast Man is like to be preformed by a great actor anyway. Alright alright. One of my other choices is Tyler Mane. Who had played the beastly Sabertooth in X-Men 1. And...maybe...Michael Clarke Duncan? I think Show has the look and size. But if you look at pro wrestling...it is acting. Bad acting yes...over the top...yes. But they do have scripts and they do ad lib on most occasions. Most pro wrestlers have untapped potential. But in all reality...He-Man and it's main villians, although they must be believable...are only believable to an extent. They are "Superhuman". There must be a sense of like Camp...or overacting. Especially on the villians parts. This genre...has to have those elements. In order to keep the mood not too dark or lite...just even it up a bit. Plus, if Vince McMahon gets a hold of the script (He does have "WWE Films" now..which LionsGate is co-producing Glenn "Kane" Jacobs horror flick "See No Evil") who knows? lol. I'm just saying just for the sake of saying. "Devils Advocate" sort of thing.

[The Hurricane]

cant be bothered reading the entire thread but I am pleased so far with the casting. good pick for Skeletor!!

Any suggestions for Mer Man?

[Dr. Fate]

How about Doug Jones, who played Abe Sapien in 2004's Hellboy?

[superkong 500]

How about Doug Jones, who played Abe Sapien in 2004's Hellboy?

Well yea he did a great job in hellboy, the suit look pretty good also, although for merman we need the suit make-up to be even more impressive than whta we saw in hellboy

[Dr. Fate]

Well yea he did a great job in hellboy, the suit look pretty good also, although for merman we need the suit make-up to be even more impressive than whta we saw in hellboy
In an era where CGI is rapidly ruining any and all chances for good prosthetic make up, Abe Sapien's in Hellboy was the best that anyone could ask for.

The biggest difference is that Mer-Man would probably need to be a lot stockier than Abe Sapien.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

In an era where CGI is rapidly ruining any and all chances for good prosthetic make up, Abe Sapien's in Hellboy was the best that anyone could ask for.Oh God :rolleyes: "rapidly ruining ANY and ALL chances", puh-LEASE.
Ridiculous thing to say. There has been a ton of the best prosthetic make up ever in the past few years. Just more knee-jerk CGI trash-talking :down.

tons of it in the Star Wars prequels, tons in the Lord of the Rings, tons in Narnia, Hell Boy, Harry Potter, all the horror movies with mutanty guys, King Kong, all the latest Zombie movies, The Thing in the Fantastic Four movie (sadly), etc..

As far as characters they'd almost always rather do make up since it's so much less expensive than good CGI. The CGI is for when the physicality of the character can't be performed by a human (Yoda fighting, 30 foot tall ape, giant dragon, zombie with a hole in it's head, etc.)

Well yes abe sapien looked good Iam not taking his credit away, Iam saying that for merman some heavy cgi could be needed, I said could not for sure, it depends on the overall design of the creature, and specialy the mouth area, but maybe they can mix prosthetics with cgi, and even animatronics for some shots

I dream of Laura Prepon going back to red hair. I dream of seeing an Aquaman film make it to the big screen.

And for some reason I dream of Keira Knightley playing Plenty O'Toole in a remake of Diamonds Are Forever, and I'm not quite sure where that one came from.

[MOTUFreak]

Laura Prepon...that 70s show is not the same without Topher and Laura. Oh well.

[Dr. Fate]

Laura Prepon...that 70s show is not the same without Topher and Laura. Oh well.
She's still on that 70s Show, but she sports that horrific platinum blonde hair that makes her look like an ugly trailer trash Paris Hilton clone.

That 70s Show should have ended with season 6; it was obvious by that point that they were running out of steam, but at least they could have ended the show with some semblance of dignity.

[MOTUFreak]

Oh yeah...duh. I forgot. I meant to continue that...I guess it skipped my mind. But yeah...she should go back to her red lochs indeed. I can see her as Teela. But anywho...the show has lost a lot. Fox shouldn't be scrambling though. I think they finally know what their doing as a network. With the X Files off the air they've been lost. But ever since 24...they've been gaining steam...like big time. Now NBC (sadly) is the 4th placed network. (I think ER should end as well). And now with UPN and the WB merging into one network...who knows what'll happen? (The Shadow? I dunno if he'll know. lol). Anyway...He-Man dream casting. Any ideas? I have a few...as you know...but I'm wondering if anyone else has any input.

And now with UPN and the WB merging into one network...who knows what'll happen? (The Shadow? I dunno if he'll know. lol). Anyway...He-Man dream casting. Any ideas? I have a few...as you know...but I'm wondering if anyone else has any input.
If Laura Prepon went back to her lovely red hair she'd make a very fine Teela.

[MOTUFreak]

I agree...happy VD by the way. VD...HA HA HA. Bad joke.

[Dr. Fate]

I nominate Alan Ritchson for the part of He-Man! You know, the guy who played Arthur "AC" Curry/young Aquaman on Smallville back in November.

[MOTUFreak]

I saw a pic of him on IMDB.com. He's got the look. I like that idea. Does he have the build?

[MOTUFreak]

BTW, the dude from The Longest Yard "Dalip Singh" he IS a pro wrestler. He is expected to be on Smackdown in the next comming months.

If you've seen his guest spot as the young Arthur "AC" Curry/Aquaman on "Smallville" then you'd know he has the build.

Hello MOTU freak hello dr.fate ,well yes he has the looks and the built of course in a smaller proportion, for he-man still he would have to put atleast 30 pounds of muscle and remain ripped, but I would be happy if they would cast him.

I just found the new cartoons on the Boom network and have been loving them. I found myself remembering my childhood and everytime I saw a new charater it brought back memories.

This made me go and rent the old MOTU movie with Dolph. It was great as a kid, but as an adult it was awful. I know it was 1987, but it was god awful.

I know have to go out and get the DVD's of the original cartoon series

Long Live Walchuck

[MOTUFreak]

They better have a good plot and good locations. And I hope they stay in Eternia this time.

[MOTUFreak]

Who would ya want for Mekaneck and Mer Man?

[Wilhelm-Scream]

MOTU......you, kind of scare me. :(

Why don't you go yo a M.O.T.U. messageboard??

The movie'll never be made BTW. :(

[Dr. Fate]

It's the miscellaneous film forum page. He's allowed to post what he wants.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

yes, no s***, I meant, he seems to have such insane devotion to MOTU that it seems like he'd be in heaven if that was all they talked about and they posted maps of Eternia and talked about "Who would win? Ram-Man vs. Clawful". Like a Lucas-Sheep is in Heaven at theforce.net
I wasn't saying he shouldn't talk about it. :)

[Grimm52]

Willhelm why do you think the movie wont be made? Everything I read and I actually heard something about it on TV about Woo and Heman. Where I dont rememeber but I know I hear it.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

yeah, I also heard James Cameron was going to direct Spider-Man...for literally years.
It won't get made, it's just development Hell-talk.

[Dr. Fate]

Then perhaps this isn't really the thread best suited to your interests.

[superkong 500]

yeah, I also heard James Cameron was going to direct Spider-Man...for literally years.

Well it won't get made yet, but eventually it will, so meanwhile its kinda fun to speculate and give your opinion on who should be cast and what the story could be like.

I know, that's why I said Olsen Twins as Two-Bad!

[Kabuki_Jo]

Has anyone mentioned Josh Holloway as He-Man?
The man's got the looks and the voice.
He needs to seriously bulk up for the part.

[MOTUFreak]

Gee...I didn't know I was THAT unwanted. *Running away curled up in fetal position crying* But hey...it is fun to speculate. THis is now a "What If?" Kinda board. It's not like...who SHOULD be cast...its like who in your view would you want to be cast. We all know its in development hell. But this is an MOTU thread...and these What Ifs are fun to talk about. So if ya don't like it...leave it. *Sticks out tongue*

[Dr. Fate]

You are entitled to post what you wish as you wish.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

nuh-uh. He can't post Nude Teela pics.

[MOTUFreak]

Nude Teela pics eh???? *Raises eyebrows* Does that mean you have them??? LOL...I'm kiddin.

He-Man Ditched By Fox 2000
No plans for Greyskull right now
Source: Moviehole Bad news for He-fans.

Fox 2000 has shoved He-Man’s magic sword back into Mattel’s armoury closet for now.

While the film had been set up with the studio - and John Woo had been flirting with making a new live-action film for them – nothing really developed and Fox has now handed the rights back.

"This was a project set up at Fox," says producer Rodney Ferrell, "but in the recent months we gave the project back to Mattel and are no longer involved." It’s probably for the best. Everyone remembers the awful 1987 film that starred Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella. Except possibly Langella, who we hear had the experience of making and seeing the movie surgically removed from his brain.

[Warhammer]

Dang.
This movie could've been cool/epic.

[Dr. Fate]

Never thought I'd see this thread again.

If there won't be a new He-Man film, IMDB needs to cut this alleged new He-Man film from its webpage, as they list a He-Man film for 2008.

[the_ultimate_evil]

as big a masters of universe fan i am, if there had been a new movie it would have surprised the hell out of me

[tecnowraith]

Well there is some update on the movie. If you have been to Comic Con or seen it on G4 this past weekend, Joel Silver has confirmed that they are in the process of bringing the character to life.

[Untilteld]

Has anyone mentioned Josh Holloway as He-Man?
The man's got the looks and the voice.

Yes I have, he'd be a good choice.

[TheVileOne]

Not a big loss.

The new series is finally coming out on DVD, good enough.

[Dr. Fate]

Wasn't it set for August? I can't remember....

[bullets]

he man would be good but theres no one to play him . that would rock though

[taintedFB]

The movie is back on track...

Rumor has it the studio wants Brad Pitt... after seeing TROY, I think he'd be perfect!

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g233/TaintedFB/HE-MAN.jpg

[Starscreamer]

With Angelina as Evil-Lyn! Actually that might not be bad. Jen Aniston as Teela :woot:

[deathshead2]

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g233/TaintedFB/HE-MAN.jpgThat rumor is about 6 months old and proven false. So yeah this movie isn't happening.

[Dr. Fate]

I am so not digging the idea of Brad Pitt as He-Man. Nothing personal against the guy but he's not what I picture He-Man as being.

[taintedFB]

That rumor is about 6 months old and proven false. So yeah this movie isn't happening.

Just a couple of weeks back VARIETY reported that Justin Marks was working on adapting He-Man for Joel Silver and WB. He's also writing Voltron and a new Street Fighter.

So yes, the movie is happening. Whether Brad will be involved is unknown. It's too early. My instinct says they will try to find someone younger. Maybe Chris Carmack?

[Batspider77]

If right done a Masters Movie could be KIck Ass.

[Dr. Fate]

If right done a Masters Movie could be KIck Ass.
Yep.
