He-Man Movie Getting a New Director?
It was only a month ago that Latino Review reported that the new live action He-Man film, which was originally supposed to be directed by John Woo, was officially dead in the water. Apparently the short list of directors that Warner Brothers had in mind to replace Woo (including Doug Liman and Bryan Singer) simply weren’t interested. Now this week, however, it appears that the project may still be alive and kicking.
According to Latino Review, Kung Fu Panda co-director John Stevenson came in and pitched his own version of He-Man, and the studio loved it… which means it’s back on again! Unfortunately, it also means that the Justin Marks script that everyone has been raving about around the web probably won’t be used. I still have yet to see Kung Fu Panda, but I know a lot of people really liked it. I’m just not sure if that is because they had low expectations going in, or if it is genuinely a great flick. Either way, I can understand how an animation guy would probably be passionate about a classic cartoon like He-Man, I just don’t know if it makes sense for him to direct a live action film based on it. Do you think he can pull it off?

I though they were talking about a CG He-Man, which would most likely be a let-down.
Posted by Matt on November 20th, 2008I would like to talk to you about insecurity. Sean was insecure about whether or not a director was right for the job. He asked the readers of his site about the subject, but he learned an important lesson: their opinions didn’t matter. Right, Orko?
Posted by Bas on November 21st, 2008I don’t know if Mr. Kum Fu Padna man can pull this shit off, but wht i do know is is that those guys at warner bros are dumb fucks. The script was great and those retards were all too busy pullin’ their peckers to notice.
