‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ Director in Talks for ‘Masters of the Universe’

By the power of Greyskull! It looks like there’s finally some traction on Sony’s long-awaited live action adaptation of Masters of the Universe. According to a new report, director Jon Chu (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) is in talks to direct the live-action adaptation of the popular 1980s cartoon about the heroic warrior He-Man.

The cartoon was first brought to the big screen in the wonderfully schlocky 1987 film Masters of the Universe starring Dolph Lundgren, but a modern version of He-Man has been in some stage of development for years. The most recent draft of the script was written by Predators screenwriters Mike Finch and Alex Letvak.
