Columbia interested in Warner Bros’ sloppy seconds on ‘He-Man’

‘He-Man’ lands at Columbia

k

Just when you thought/hoped another big-screen adventure of He-Man was never going to get made, along comes a studio to save it.

Columbia is in talks to acquire the production rights of the popular ’80s toy line from Mattel, something Warner Bros was not interested in doing.

Earlier this month, Warner decided to let their option lapse, changing their focus to the development of DC Comics characters.
The film was intended to be another live-action version of the famed ’80s toyline and was tentatively titled Grayskull. The original big-screen adaptation was 1987’s Masters of the Universe which starred stage star Frank Langella as Skeletor. He went on the play Richard Nixon in Frost/Nixon.
