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 "horrible mess", for 2 reasons:
1) Anyone here actually see the original Masters of the Universe movie, with Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor? I did. It's good trashy fun, but I don't think it warrants a remake. Did I mention Courteney Cox was in this as well?
2) John Woo has yet to make film in North America that holds a candle to his Hong Kong output.
