There's a new He-Man & The Masters of the Universe film adaptation slated for 2006 so says Internet Movie Database, to be directed by John Woo, starring John Glover as Skeletor, and at the moment simply titled He-Man. It was rumored that a fellow named Jason Lewis was up for the role of He-Man but so far no one seems to be officially pegged for the part.
So... will this be a great return for one of the great icons of the 1980s or will it just be a horrible mess?

I predict the latter. Hollywood is given waaaaaay too much latitude when it comes to messing with existing properties. If they have their way, we'll get Casablanca with swords...
It also seems that the only things left for them to do are comic book movies, video game movies, or movies based on cancelled tv shows these days. Hard to believe that that city was once home to Clark Gable, Bette Davis, Cagney, Bogart, etc.
