Its totally mad as with this and the new Transformer movie that is being made it seems that 80s toys are the new hot thing. I just hope it is better than the live action film that was made before with Dolph Lungron!

I'm not entirely sure what He-Man is, but I watched The Crow last night and John Woo rocks.

Ahh... so young...

He-Man was really one of the first cartoons to be made purely to sell the action figures merchandise.

Were these related to She-woman? (or something to that tune)... as I had a huge castle for them and these Xena like women in ace armour when I was younger.

She-ra I think she was?.. Ah, yep:

Since Mattel had sewn up the plastic action figure market for the boys, they wanted a shot at floging the same crap... ermmm... action figures to girls.

It looks like this He-man movie is going ahead as there are already rumours about casting. Appartently Nicolas Cage is rumoured to be up for Skeletor and "Sex and the City" actor Jason Lewis is rumoured for He-Man!

Who did Jason Lewis play in SATC?

Oh yes, She-ra it was. Yep, I have themses.

 

[Pinecone!]

My guess is he was Samantha's boyfriend in the last series... The young blonde one... That kinda looked like He-Man actually!

SounRAB like a bit of Daily Star fantasy casting rumours to me, but both look right for the parts.

Hey... There's a thought... Someone should do a Fantasy Casting like Fantasy Football... You place bets on who you think will do a role in a upcoming movie, and you score 'goals' for everyone you get right.

Yeah Jason Lewis was Samantha boyfriend in SATC and would be perfect for He-Man however it is looking very unlikely that Nicolas Cage will be Skeletor as he will be busy filming Ghost Rider!

 

[BQuest]

Ah yes, I knew the name Jason Lewis as Ive seen every SATC ep and have the book! He is excellent as Smith and hed be ace as he-man!

I remember it the first time round with Courtney Cox-Arquette - lets hope its an improvement on that!!

I remember the original film with Dolph Lungran and Courtney Cox-Aquette. It definatly worth seeing if you never seen it before. My mate has got on DVD as he loves it but didnt like Transformers The Movie. There is no accounting for some peoples taste!
