und wenn brad pitt aussieht wie arnold oder Dolph, der würde doch trotzdem keinen guten heeman abgeben

abgesehen von dolph's mangelndem schauspieltalent war er doch aber die idealbesetzung, aber brad pitt? X.x

Wie wäre es mit Tobey mcguire, der müsste auch nur noch bisschen masse zulegen

Dem Van damme könnte man ja noch ne chance geben, da müsste mann ur die haare blond färben

Ach ja, Wenn Leonardo dicaprio bisschen trainiert würde der auch nen guten he man abgeben ;)

[SFI]

so abwegig finde ich das nicht, in Troja hat er mit gut gefallen...man könnte aber auch Gary Daniels nehmen der hat ja Erfahrung mit langen Zotteln und Schwerter und so...

[The Punisher]

Brad Pitt könnte man den Adam ja noch abnehmen aber He-Man müsste dann mit CGI erzeugt werden, aber bitte nicht 3 Meter groß wie Ang Lee´s HULK

[Sir Jay]

ach ja, gary daniels

mal ne doofe Frage, in welcher Beziehung steht eigentlcih He Man zu Conan?

ist evtl sogar einer dem anderen nachempfunden worden?

jedenfalls hätte arnie mit blonden haaren genauso gut damals den he man spielen können

[SFI]

ihr identifiziert die Figur des He-Mans eindeutig mit Doofkopp Dolph. Der hatte zwar paar optische Aspekte, aber He-Man ist imo kein dummer Kickercharakter mit zu viel Muskeln, da kommt die Figur des Archilles dem schon näher, IMO. Man muss sich nur mal die Kassetten anhören!

[freeman]

Das Blöde is nur, dass man auf den Kassettencovern deiner heißgeliebten Hörspiele auchnie viel Platz für ordentliche Motive hatte, weil die He Man Muskelarme immer den ganzen Platz wegnahmen!

Dolph als He Man ... das wär was ... nen bissel die Gesichtshaut zurechttuckern und ab gehts ;-). Pitt ist imo aus nem anderen Grund net der Richtige. Mit ihm verbind eich mittlerweile leider eherso tragische GEstalten oder eher anspruchsvollere Charaktere und ja, ich will keinen philosophierenden He Man sehen und ich denke mal, Pitt würde sich für ein "reines" He Man Projekt "alter Schule" NIE hergeben ...

In diesem Sinne:

[Sir Jay]

Ohne bullet time geht heute gar nix mehr

[freeman]

Ähm ... hä? Beitrag des Monats .. ;-)

alter schule...

wenn ich das höre muss ich immer daran denken, auf welche stilmittel actionfilme von heute nicht mehr verzichten können

[The Punisher]

Früher gings auch ohne Bullettime, warum soll also heute in jeden Actionfilm Bullettime rein???

[jack warrior]

brad pitt in heman... nein danke. ohne mich der kann ja nur kacke werden. sorry ich halte pitt dafür ne fehlbesetzung.

zum thema conan vs. heman: man wollte ursprünglich ne comic/toy serie auf conan basis machen... man bekam allerdings nicht die lizenz. also mal schnell die haarfarbe geändert und dann den futuristik aspekt eingefügt da es ja gerade in mode war und fertig war heman.

[SFI]

als Woo das Ding vor 2 Jahren angeblich machen sollte, hatten die doch mal so ne Type an der Hand, der ging ja eigentlich...muss man mal im Narrenfred suchen.

[Sir Jay]

woo wollte ja auch metroid verfilmen X.x

[SFI]

ergo ist Woo ein fauler Sack

[Sir Jay]

vllt isser auch schon zu alt?

[John Woo]

ergo ist Woo ein fauler Sack

er hatte sich nur zu viel vorgenommen.

[djoli]

Brad Pitt könnte man den Adam ja noch abnehmen aber He-Man müsste dann mit CGI erzeugt werden, aber bitte nicht 3 Meter groß wie Ang Lee´s HULK

Wieso? In den Comics war der Hulk auch so groß...

[djoli]

Brad Pitt ist nicht schlecht und als Body Double dann Triple H :

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.

Interview mit Drehbuchautor Justin Marks:

Are there any wishes you would have for casting?
Let me just say we don't want wreslters. [Laughs] I'm not saying he should be He-Man, but Michael Biehn is my all-time favorite actor. You go to Hicks or Kyle Reese, and James Cameron created that action hero type, and I feel like I always write with the mindset of that type of hero who doesn't exist these days. He's that guy who, if he took a weapon and said, "Follow me," I'd be right behind him.
How are you going to incorporate all the..let's say disparate elements of the He-Man mythology?
He-Man is sword-and-sandals meets science fiction. If you avoid it and just try to make it sword and sandals, then it becomes a boring movie. If you just try to make it science fiction, it's going to be really kitschy and weird, and it's not going to be true to He-Man. You have to make it both. So we have to come up with specific ideas, grounded, that would spawn a world that was people carrying around swords, and yet, guys like Tri-Klops running around with his spinning visor and this sort of nano-technological way about him. What is the sorcery that can create stuff like that?
So you're really sticking fairly closely to the original world?
There's some stuff going around...we should clear that up. There's some rumor spreading that he's a soldier in the Iraqi war. Where did they get that? This is an Eternian movie and it's a story about an Eternian hero. We're not going to Earth, here. We're not going to the modern world. We're not going to a strip mall in the Valley. [Laughs] By the way, I think there are really great things about the original Masters of the Universe.
What kind of questions?
If you remember, He-Man [toys], very early on, had two halves of the sword-Skeletor had half, He-Man had half and you could clip them together. And that was discarded by the cartoon. And I'm not sure if I can tell you but we finally got the answer to [why there are two halves], because it'll be something that I think can affect the movie.

We get both the origin of HE-MAN (or HE-MAN BEGINS), the origin of SKELETOR, and the origin of THE POWER SWORD. If Warners even remotely executes this script like they did 300 they will have a monster hit on their hands because this script leaves it open for a trilogy.
GRAYSKULL is the perfect marriage of Sorcery and Science fiction where in Eternia both Fantasy and Technology co-exist. The character arc of the hero ADAM works for me because like Bruce Wayne in BATMAN BEGINS, Adam has to overcome his selfish need for revenge and realize his destiny for the greater good of his people - the fallen son of Eternia must rise to occasion and become HE-MAN.

... aber ständig unnötige Sequels drehen:

So what is the latest on one of my favorite scripts of the year – Justin Marks’ GRAYSKULL?

Nothing. As it stands, the project is dead at Warner Brothers.

How did it get this way? Here are some of the reasons.

For starters, Warners simply doesn’t get the property and wasn’t high on it to begin with.

The studio gave the execs at Silver Pictures a very small list of A-director names they would consider making the film with, amongst them Doug Liman and Bryan Singer who both passed.
There were some up and coming directors that were gung ho on the script, but the studio wasn’t feeling them.

Another reason and perhaps the biggest was that Navid McIIhargey, the exec who brought in He-Man to Silver Pictures, left the company last month to become a Senior VP at New Regency as reported last month in both trades.

Sources tell me Navid and another exec (who also left Silver) – guys in their thirties who grew up on the property - were the unsung heroes of He-Man and are no longer there doing the day to day to get He-Man over the mountain and get the movie made.

In the Hollywood business culture, once an exec leaves, usually his projects are killed by the new incoming exec.

Even heroes like He-Man need allies and Prince Adam no longer has any at the studio. Sad.
Execs at toy company Mattel are so infuriated at Warners, that they want the property back to take it elsewhere. Mattel’s anger is understandable. No movie equals no toys to make.

I personally don’t get it. You would think with all the money 80s toy properties like Transformers made for Paramount that every studio in town would do the same. Paramount knows better, they got the Transformers sequel and G.I. JOE in the pipeline for next year and Hasbro alone stands to make a king’s ransom on just the toys.

I adore the Grayskull script. It’s one of my favorites for this year which I will be voting for in the upcoming black list for 2008. It really could be another Lord of the Rings combining both mythology and science fiction. The potential is HUGE! You can read my script review HERE.

As a story analyst, it’s comforting when the good scripts in this town get made regardless of the obstacles like another of my favorites script KASHMIR went through. Awesome that KASHMR is finally getting made as announced this week.

GRAYSKULL is another gem which I want to see get made and other fanboys do too. The piles of email I get on this property alone are proof.

Warners should put the project into immediate turnaround because trust me, someone will pick it up.

El Mayimbe here...

According to my sources, one of my favorite projects got itself a director. Supposedly, Kung Fu Panda director John Stevenson went in to the Silver offices, came in and did this killer take on He-man and the Masters of the Universe and got himself the job!

Apparently, the He-Man movie is not dead after all. I hear Stevenson's presenation razzle dazzled the execs.

I honestly don't know how I feel about the guy because I never saw Kung Fu Panda. On one hand, I'm excited that the project is still active, on the other I'm not really sure if Stevenson is the right choice.

According to imdb, Stevenson has an animation and an art department background.
