John Stevenson will direct Masters Of The Universe
Kung Fu Panda helmer tackling He-Man revamp
Warners and power producer Joel Silver have officially selected John Stevenson to drag He-Man from development limbo.
Variety is reporting the news, but real credit goes to the fine fellows over at Latino Review who broke word on Stevenson in November.
Now his deal is locked, Stevenson will work on bringing toy company Mattel’s characters Prince Adam and co to the big screen.
This time, though, Justin Marks has re-worked the concept to feature a soldier named Adam who stumbles on the magical world of Eternia, where the evil Skeletor is attempting to eradicate magic - the bony git.
"We started formulating a specific vision for costumes, creatures, architecture, and the creation of a mythology and look for a whole world we'll create."
