He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

The long awaited He-Man movie is green-lit. (Long-awaited by whom seems like a bigger story, Fan Boy, but read on anyway.)

According to Moviehole.net this interview with Adam Rifkin reveals that a full-blown He-Man is in the works with Fox 2000 and Mattel.

Tallstar Asks : Hello Adam, Can you give us an idea what direction you went on the script for “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe”? It has been stated that Fox 2000 handed the project back to Mattel, but now its listed as an 'upcoming' project. Has there been some renewed interest? Thanks!

Adam : Legally I’m not allowed to say much concerning HE-MAN, however I can say this: HE-MAN is a movie that’s definitely going to be made! Where and with whom are all pretty top secret at present, but when the shroud of mystery is finally lifted I can promise you, HE-MAN fans will not be disappointed.

So, if you're interested in seeing how they make Skeletor NOT look like a laytex/foam-rubber faced, Karate Kid high-school goon, stay tuned. Otherwise, just file this news under "things to roll your eyes at - like when comic book geeks start arguing about Silver Surfer versus Galactus".
