Warner Bros Pictures, just a few weeks ago, let go of the Mattel property called Masters of the Universe due to several conflicting viewpoints on how the movie would be approached. The studio parted ways, leaving the toys turned animated show to find another company to pick it up. Columbia Pictures has swooped on in to take the toy property and spread it onto the big screen. Columbia brings the production company Escape Artists into the fold to produce. Escape Artists have a few films within their resume that include The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 and Knowing.
He-Man originated out of the toy line called the Masters of the Universe out of Mattel in 1981. The story has constantly revolved around the planet Eternia where He-Man would be in constant battle with Skeletor over protecting their world and the Castle Greyskull. The action figures turned into a series of comic books, continuing on into several animated series and even into a live action movie released in the late eighties. No word yet on who will climb on board, but keep on here for more news on this toy line turned movie.
