Even though nothing’s been said
about a new He-Man movie in quite a while, John Woo is still interested in
directing, says the peeps over at Moviehole.net. By clicking
here you can read
what little they had to say about this project, although my prediction is that
if the TRANSFORMERS movie does well, every 80’s cartoon show will be optioned
and He-Man will on top of the list.
Also since Woo has no one cast for
the film, I’ve decided to offer several suggestions for casting:
HE-MAN- Topher Grace. He fits the
profile of Prince Adam. Except whenever Prince Adam summons the Power of Grayskull,
Woo will have to summon the “Power of CGI” to add some muscles to
Grace’s 110lb
frame.
MAN AT ARMS- Chuck Norris. The
mustache is already there. All we need now is a helmet that resembles a
spaghetti strainer.
SKELETOR- Laura Flynn Boyle. Woo can
save on special effects by simply making a ‘fat joke’ to her 6 months before
filming starts, and ta-da; a human skeleton.
ORKO- No matter who you put here, it
won’t work. The only decision to really make is whether you want to use CGI or
use a crane with a midget hanging from it.
Let me know if any of you have ideas
on casting, and maybe we can start a petition to send to Woo and try to get him
moving on this.
