Video: Writer/Director Kaare Andrews Wants He-Man PDF Print E-mail

Just days after Mark Millar openly told fans around the world that he wants to take a crack at Superman, comic book writer and filmmaker Kaare Andrews (Spiderman, the Incredible Hulk, X-Men) is ready to pitch He-Man and we have the video presentation to prove it.

Readers of this site know that I am a huge He-Man fan. Looking back at the original TV show I agree that it was campy and a bit cheesy but our memories of the show are far different.

When I recall the show I remember being that 10 year old kid who was transported to Eternia, I would play with my action figures as I watched the cartoons, we imagined bigger and greater battles.

I became a storyteller when I played with my action figures, as our bedrooms became battlefields, as we spent countless of hours emerged in that world.

Now as an adult I remember He-Man and the Masters of the Universe as something more than just a toy and cartoon series. It was Lord of the Rings and Star Wars combined.

Now Warner Bros. along with Joel Silver is getting ready to make their vision of He-Man. Will screenwriter Justin Marks get the story right? I hope so, I hope he understands that He-Man/MOTU is special to millions of fans around the world.

What scares me is that it appears to me that Joel Silver is not a fan of “genre,” he’s a business man before a filmmaker.

He-Man is also special for Kaare Andrews and he has made a very cool animated presentation/pitch of his vision for Masters of the Universe.

Kaare has this to say bout He-Man:

Where I grew up we didn’t get He-Man on television. We had to rent them on VHS. It made the show special… gave each episode an importance. I watched them mostly when I was staying with my Dad. I’m not sure why. Maybe my Mom didn’t have a VCR yet. I had a lot of the toys. My favorites were Battle Armor He-Man and Battle-Ram. I had He-Man bed sheets. I had the Paninni He-Man sticker book. I bought the comicbooks. My Mom sewed me a He-Man Halloween costume. And when I was supposed to ‘grow out’ of my toys my little brother carried on the tradition. I don’t believe in trying to intellectualize childhood experiences. Obviously it had something to do with power fantasies, imagination and storytelling. But I prefer to think of that time in simple words. Because simple is powerful. And He-Man was the most powerful in the Universe.

He gets it, I hope that Warner Bros. gets it too. Kaare put this presentation together in one weeks time and out of his own pocket, pretty bad ass.

Goosebump central!

[enterthemadness]

I liked what I saw... but of course this guy probably won't be directing it, so it is a ****ing mute point.

But hey, look on the bright side...there's like a 99.9% chance Boll won't be directing He-Man.

 

[skorponok]

That first shot was great

That was really about all that I liked about it sadly.

 

[fu manchu]

it looks like a good start as a concept. is this going to be a cgi animated film or one with actors?

That was really about all that I liked about it sadly.

yeah, i also liked the shot of skeletor.

 

[tyler-durden]

It looked pretty decent, I like his concept for skeletor, that was pretty awesome.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

its basically a storyboard for what he would do if he got the gig

Update:
Kaare Andrews explained to He-Man.org the purpose of this clip:
"This is a kind of conceptual piece for a live action film. This is a new technology I call Go-Cons or 'animated conceptual paintings' and represents the tone and scope of the world, not the actual end product. It was pulled together in a little over a week with a small (but talented) team. Just imagine this as an epic live action feature with a budget and full team."

[shapeshifter]

kind of interesting. the animation is a little to x-box for my taste, but a neat idea.

 

[ChickenScratch]

Great looking stuff, it'll look way better done in live action.

 

[bullets]

i'm definately more for live action.

 

[Denny67]

me likey If it is a mock up for a live action film. t:

 

[tyler-durden]

of course if the movie was live action and had the look of that concept it would be perfect.
