He-man and the Masters of the Universe

Netflix Cancels Live-Action He-Man Movie

Netflix Cancels Live-Action He-Man Movie

, , , 12

Netflix has the full Power of Greyskull lately as they’ve partnered with Mattel to put several He-Man and the Masters of the Universe shows into production. First came the critically praised retake on She-Ra, then Kevin Smith’s reimagined take, then a proper He-Man reboot for kids…it was all supposed to be topped with a live-action He-Man movie on the streamer, until today. Netflix has pulled out of the deal to produce that live-action movie, which would have starred Kyle Allen (American Horror Story, The Path) as Prince Adam and his much more muscular counterpart (seriously, either some CGI was in the works or based on photos, Allen would really have to bulk up. I guess he doesn’t have to worry about that now). It came down to a matter of money. Gone are the days when Netflix could willingly throw away billions on anything and everything. The He-Man feature had a $200 million price tag. Netflix wanted that budget reduced to $150 million. Mattel said it couldn’t be done, so

Netflix Can’t Get Enough He-Man

Ever since Netflix teamed up with Mattel to produce the new, critically acclaimed version of She-Ra, it’s been to the “Masters” side of the Universe repeatedly. A new CG He-Man series for family audiences premiered last fall, and so did a two-part epic aimed at adult fans from Kevin Smith. Now we’re hearing about ANOTHER project set in Eternia — a brand-new live-action movie. You likely already know there was an attempt at this in 1987 starring Courteney Cox as nobody relevant to the brand. The Masters of the Universe movie went mostly off-script and transported Prince Adam, Skeletor and a weird elf-thing replacing Orko to Earth, where they ran around empty streets and alleys while some teenagers got all the screentime. Despite the MOTU brand retaining some strength from its 1983 high, it did not reflect in box office numbers. The flick was considered a bomb, and pulled from theaters in just three weeks. You can only go up from there, right? Sony has held the movie rights to

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Trailer: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe got He-man goes 3d.  This new reboot of He-man has influences from  Super Sentai and Kamen Rider shows. I still believe the early 2000s reboot that got canceled is still the best He-man version I had seen. People can’t still move on from the controversial ending of the first half of the Kevin Smith He-man. This version got lucky that Kevin Smith’s version is taking all the heat. Let’s see if Smith can do damage control on the second half of his series. Social media may destroy it but there could be a quiet majority out there. I can see the people who love the Netflix She-Ra loving this while old-school fans will be divided. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is more well-received by the Netizens. Netflix has 2 versions of He-man right now. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe got He-man is more marketed for kids. On the other hand, Masters
