Grayskull: Masters of the Universe - Part 2

[Jordacar]

Adam could never grow up into a man with godlike strength.

 

[cronosred]

Subscribe, and the transformation from Adam to He-Man is unesscary because I always summed He-Man was who Adam would grow up into.

I want the transformations left in and I also think if well done like the filmation series they will help draw the kids in and make them want the toys all the more which is what Mattel wants.

I think Adam and He-Man should be played by the same actor.

Respectfully, I disagree, as much a fan I am of the 1980s cartoon. The 2002 cartoon made a significant improvement by making Adam much younger: not only did it solve the "Clark Kent problem" of He-man's secret identity, it really captured more of the spirit of He-man as a reflection of a young boy, about to become a man himself, transforming into his idealized version of an adult and hero.

Agreed.

That will be difficult indeed.

Challenge accepted

Wouldn't that be something

Best thing about that speech was that it was a improv by Frank, long live Skeletor.

 

[747]

Yeah, Langella's Skeletor is easily the absolute best part of the MOTU movie.

 

[Jordacar]

Random thought: I would love for Skeletor to say, "Would this face lie to you?"

Just...yuck.

If Dolph is Randor, Frank Langella should be Hordak or Horde Prime.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

i could go for that, dolph plays randor and langella does the voice of hordak before keldor is transformed

and i agree with the response he's the only on i can think of to play skeletor


[YT]pIJzFLxJSK0[/YT]

just have that scene to open the movie

 

[Panthro]

If Dolph is Randor, Frank Langella should be Hordak or Horde Prime.

That would be cool.

 

[The Guard]

Come on, Daniel Day-Lewis as Skeletor...

 

[terry78]

Spielberg probably had to twist his arm to be Lincoln, doubt he'd do an action figure movie.

DDL turned down the role of Aragorn in Lord of the Rings. I can't see him committing to MOTU.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Would he build his own Snake Mountain to prepare for the role?

 

[aNarcHy2day]

DDL turned down the role of Aragorn in Lord of the Rings. I can't see him committing to MOTU.

So, as I mentioned before, just cast the guy who did get the role of Aragorn, instead!

 

[Jordacar]

I'd be more interested seeing Viggo play Skeletor than Randor. But like I said earlier, Michael Sheen is my #1 pick for the old bonehead.

As for Dolph, I'd prefer him to play King Grayskull

And Kevin Sorbo would be my pick for Randor.

The producer just needs to sell it him differently:

"Okay, Daniel, so this move is about an effeminate young aristocrat, who magically transforms into his idealized perception of homo-eroticized classical Greek masculinity, which is a tanned, nearly nude bodybuilder with a lady's haircut. We want you to play his half-uncle, a bitter, evil man conceived out of wedlock from the aristocrat's monarch grandfather and a woman of color from a race of people who are widely discriminated against. His bitterness reaches the point where he sacrifices his soul, his humanity, even the flesh from his face, to take back his birthright! Whatya think?"

 

[terry78]

I have to wonder how they'd do Skeletor's face. Obviously CG but would it be like Ghost Rider, unexpressive, or would the skull actually emote?

 

[B.A. Baracus]

The only person i can honestly see as Skeletor Is Willem Defoe, he has everything.

Since his lack of face came about largely by magic, I'm sure it could have some expression. Mostly with the eye sockets. It wouldn't take much, especially if it's topped off with the glowing red eyes.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Skeletor's face would be ideal for mo-cap, actually. I think it might be the first time that mo-cap is used on a live actor's head but not their body.
