WB lose the power, HE-MAN movie dead!
Warner Bros. have killed off GRAYSKULL: DEFENDERS OF THE UNIVERSE, the reinvention of the He-Man franchise which hot new screenwriter Justin Marks had setup at the studio last year according to Latino Review. It seems that the few execs who were keen on the project at WB have since departed and no-one else really believes in the script or gets the property. The script which some have called the next epic in line with LORD OF THE RINGS but with the kind of grounded origin tale found in BATMAN BEGINS, was set to be the first attempt at this Universe as a live action movie completely set in Grayskull. Cementing it's death earlier this year was the rejection of offers from big name directors Doug Liman and Bryan Singer, who turned the project down and the few up and coming helmers who did actually show interest, the studio didn't have enough faith in.
