why not dungeons and dragons cartoon by Mr_X	May 18th, 2007 04:42:02 AM
He-man was done and dusted with dolph, that was the first ever video i rented! I really cant see the appeal to those adult film goers who watched it as a kid if they must raid the vaults of 80's cartoons.. thundercats and DUngeons and Dragons. D&D was absolutely the best cartoon ever, and cavlaiar aka Eric was hilarious any more cartoons folks? apart from transformers?

it would be hard to pull off the He-Man costume in a movie and still have it reatain some seriousness but 300 proved that wrong as they were all pretty much wearing He-Man costumes.
Danger Mouse! by Franklin T Marmoset	May 18th, 2007 04:46:41 AM
You damn Americans are always having your childhood favourites turned into crappy films, so it's about time us English folk got something of our own. Simon Pegg as Danger Mouse! Nick Frost as Penfold! It makes perfect sense!!

re: Dungeons and Dragons by Colonel Activity	May 18th, 2007 05:05:08 AM
I was dating this girl last summer and she started telling me about how she was this tomboy because she had two brothers. One of the things she told me was, "Yeah, I used to play Dungeons and Dragons with my brothers. It's so embarassing!" I told her not to worry because I used to play with geeky stuff too, like Transformers. In fact, what I said was, "Oh,who cares? Everyone plays with nerdy shit when they're kids. I used to play with Transformers and G.I. Joes all the time when I was ten-years-old." There was a slight pause, and then she said, "I played Dungeons and Dragons in junior high." Then...I laughed. Right in her face. Then I called her a nerd. End of story. I just wanted to share that.

If the Transfomer becomes big hit... by pitti71	May 18th, 2007 05:08:48 AM
i wouldnt mind some super devastating battles in big cities by huge robots. I kinda always enjoyed more the UFO Grendizer, or Great Mazinga than the next gen robots like Transfomers. Go Nagai made the big bang of that - I wonder why Hollywood discovers now all that stuff. its been aorund for, how long 30 years???

WILL THEY SHOOT THIS ONE IN DOWNTOWN WHITTIER AGAIN? by gride9000	May 18th, 2007 05:17:02 AM
When I was in Orange county we went to whittier alot to see ska bands. Now I hate Ska and I think about it every time Dolph Lungran as He-Man comes to Earth. Earth in this film is represented by downtown Whittier, CA. I liked how Skeletor had that huge TV the whole planet could see. That shit is H.O.T.

Can't wait to see that live Gummi Bears movie! by JackPumpkinhead	May 18th, 2007 06:03:16 AM
The sight of a bunch of actual bears drinking weird juice and CGI-jumping and bouncing around would be even better than that dog in "Garfield the Movie"! And, for an easter egg on the DVD, a scene of the Bears doing what bears do best, i.e. jumping from behind a bush with a roar and ripping some lost girl with goldie locks to shreds. PS. Steve Buscemi for Toady!
Oh God.... by Colonel Activity	May 18th, 2007 06:06:24 AM

Pretty pleased to hear this! by smellmycheese	May 18th, 2007 06:07:07 AM
And about time too. I remember leaving the theatre at the age of 9 being thoroughly disappointed with what I'd just seen. No sign of Prince Adam, there was no Cringer and Orko was replaced by some little troll called Gwildor. Just to add insult to injury, almost the entire film took place on Earth rather than Eternia. Only Skeletor, Evil-Lyn and Beastman came any where close to meeting expectations. So, it's taken 20 years for Skeletor to fulfil his promise of returning... let's just hope it's a lot more faithful to the ahem source material this time around.

Other serious contenders for 80s movie incarnations by smellmycheese	May 18th, 2007 06:21:28 AM
M.A.S.K - A huge ensemble cast, great costumes, cool SFX and transforming vehicles. I wouldn't even mind if T-Bob was in it. (J.K. Simmons as Miles Mayhem) Thundercats - This would probably look a bit daft TBH but so iconic that no one would care. Would gladly go to see this. Dungeons & Dragons - why this hasn't been made yet is beyond me. A modern Goonies with elements of Star Wars. Great characters and an extremely sinister villain. They better not camp it up, though. It needs to be terrifying. And Tiamat would look awesome. Uni, well, I can live with that. The Mysterious Cities of Gold - nuff said.
Lets hope He-man isn't as dull as he was on the cartoon by Yeti	May 18th, 2007 06:25:24 AM
Seriously - Skeletor was much more fun.
Visionaries and Bravestarr by smellmycheese	May 18th, 2007 06:31:48 AM
Hell yeah! Problem with Visionaries is that half of the characters were over 50. I'd hate them to do a Thunderbirds on us. As for Bravestarr, F me! What i'd give to see a horse on the big screen brandishing a rifle. "Buckle up, Sarah Jane!"
Fook a movie, we need a GI Joe tv series by DigitalDong	May 18th, 2007 06:42:27 AM
Imagine it being a hour long drama ala BSG. GI Joe is too big for a 2 hour movie, part of what made the cartoon and the comics so good was its mini-series which had a huge plot and different stories taking place all at one time. Not to forget the brainwashings, the Cobra civil war, the October Guard, and the added room for the new recruits.
80's toons by juice diabolo	May 18th, 2007 06:46:36 AM
Okay, I'd love to see Thundercats and Silverhawks, but Bionic 6 and Galaxy Rangers would be the shiznit. Oh and Thundar...hells yeah. (but not Galtar)

I never thought I would ever write a post with Joel Silver or some raped my childhood. But that is what they will be doing if holywood gets is grubby little hands on BOD or jamie and his magic torch or Chorlton and the wheelies. leave them alone. I can just imagine that Jeffrey Katzenberg the talking skull has Cosgrave hall in his sights to plunder, raid and pillage. CGI dangermouse movie. T think i am gonna be sick.
I should point out that there was a beloved hero that by emeraldboy	May 18th, 2007 06:52:11 AM

In case anyone's interested... by Kevin Holsinger	May 18th, 2007 06:53:08 AM
...they reworked the He-Man toyline a couple of years ago (http://tinyurl.com/ypohx). Some of the figures, like Ram Man, aren't terribly good, but others, like Skeletor, seem like they'd look fantastic in a film.

Hang on by Bob Muttonchops	May 18th, 2007 07:13:22 AM
He-man was a redo of a range of toys for Conan the Barbarian a new movie of which is in development hell with WB if memory serves. If they're switching to Masters of the Universe it seems unlikely that they'd do Conan. Still I guess I'm not the only lazy minded person to think Gerard Butler for either. Oh and Visionaries, Galaxy Rangers are a must.
ROBOTECH !!!! by Prometeo	May 18th, 2007 07:15:18 AM
I want my BSG treatment of ROBOTECH !!! It's a great story, interesting characters, and like BSG it works on diferent levels: soap opera, space combat, C.F. mistery... and it has the potential of becoming a francise. Dunno how some exec have failed to see the potential in it. Ok, maybe it's kind of hard to make believable a plane/robot thingie... but If Transformers could, why can I see a Varitech on the TV screen?

Don't forget Dino-Riders. by grampageezer	May 18th, 2007 07:41:39 AM
The cartoon show was just a half-hour long commercial for the toys. My sons would watch the show, and then have to have all the dinoosaur figures....which I do admit were pretty cool. The closest thing I've seen to them on the screen were the dinos in the N64 video game "Turok". (Which, by the way, would also make an awesome live-action flick)

Obviously, I had no idea that meant something else when I was a kid. Jamie and The Magic Torch was another good one. He had a torch that took him and his dog to cuckoo land! Fuck, kids telly is weird...
if we're talking kids TV.... by Affleckwasthebomb	May 18th, 2007 07:46:36 AM
being remade into films my vote would be on Mysterious cities of Gold. I you haven't seen it try and search it out. Brilliant show which I haven't been able to get a decent copy of yet. It's epic in scale and would make an awesome movie.
Centurions, M.A.S.K. and Inhumanoids. by M Bison	May 18th, 2007 07:47:59 AM
Centurions and M.A.S.K. would make wicked action movies and Inhumanoids could be a really dark movie focusing on the horror aspect.

Casting for He-Man - Simon Baker as He-Man and... by stlfilmwire	May 18th, 2007 08:00:36 AM
Thomas Haden Church with moustache as Man at Arms. Have a little person play Orko... BUT still use FX to make him look even smaller. Warwick Davis might have a decent Orko voice. Jim Carrey could make a decent Skeletor. Have you seen him play Fire Marshall Bill? He'd be perfect... provided that he not be "funny"...

M.A.S.K. by SamBlackChvrch21	May 18th, 2007 08:01:21 AM
I'd love to see a live action M.A.S.K. film, and the best part about it, is that its not the type of property you adapt faithfully to the original concept. If anything , Bay should have done M.A.S.K. instead of Transformers. I think that suits him better. Bring on Matt Trakker, leave T-Bob at home.

now this is a bandwagon i can jump on by lordphulish	May 18th, 2007 08:19:38 AM
kids shows i think would make decent flicks. pirates of dark water-very good storyline for a cartoon reboot-technology has improved so much since they were on air last, and it always had so many nerd injokes g.i.joe-because i have to hear "because knowing is half the battle" in live action before i die captain n-would make a great tie in with wii and metroid games harvey birdman-not a kids show, but it's hilarious and need feature treatment thundercats-done in the same vein as the recent tmnt, since could be sweet. do the origin story that the first few episodes followed with the escape from thundara and establishing themselves on earth, sequels pretty much guaranteed all of these cartoons exist in an idealized version in our heads, but it's a double edged sword when they get made into films, because they're exposed to studio stupidity(inspector gadget), which is ruining many of our beloved comic book franchises, or the wrong ones get made.

johnny quest-done seriously, not in a mummy returns kids just there to look cute and improbably do something stupid to help save the day kind of way, this could be really cool. i also kind of want to see race bannon snap some necks and throw some barrels. wacky races-has some potential for comedy. i mean rat race with recognizable cartoon characters instead of whoopi goldberg(she is a bit of a cartoon though. no eyebrows). voltron/robotech/gundam- all those mech shows that were awesome are going to get greenlit after transformers makes a mint of money. hell, we'll probably even get a go-bots flick, and everyone knows they were just the kmart of transformers.

Variety (www.tinyurl.com/smithee.html) has Jack Black in the role of He-Man, and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Skeletor. Joel Schumacher will helm this summer 2010 3D mo cap tentpole.
The question I want answered is... by Sepulchrave	May 18th, 2007 09:01:17 AM
How will they do his hair? Osmond pudding bowl? (Cartoon) Billy Idol spiked mullet? (Lundgren). And I want Skeletor to be a sarcastic, frustrated villain, like he was in the cartoon, sort of like Alan Rickman in Robin Hood; not some gravel-voiced Lord of Darkness.

Thundercats, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! by Automaton Overlord	May 18th, 2007 09:27:52 AM
What a trip down memory lane. I haven't thought about Sky Commanders in years, or Silverhawks. Snarf? If they actualy make a He Man movie I will drive up to my parents house and dig up Battlecat in the back yard. I really hope He Man does well, maybe a couple of successful heroic space/fantasy movies would finaly convince the studios to get Princess of Mars off the ground(the most notoriously unfilmable project of all time)
Imagine this done Hellboy-style by kevred	May 18th, 2007 09:31:19 AM
Not setting it on Earth (let's not go there again), but the visual style, character design, etc. They could easily apply the approach they took to constructing Hellboy & Abe to all the characters here. Heck, Mer-Man would just be a more buff green version of Abe anyway. And don't tell me it wouldn't be cool to see Tri-Klops done up with that kind of quality. This could be excellent fun if they approach it the right way--somewhere between and epic saga and Big Trouble In Little China.

Anways like everyone else here I hold these properties close to my heart and I feel that since the fanbase of people that remember and love HeMan are all in there late twenties early thirties that the movie should have an appeal to that age group.I'm not going to say "make it darker in tone" cause thats just a throw away line, but really if your reading Joel Silver or Mike Rifkin(kidding Adam watch Anchorman sometime) please make this film awesome and hurry up with SuperMax,that shit sounds awesome.I'm ready to see Green Arrow(Matt McConaughey or even Mark Wahlberg) take on some C class DC comic villans in a Die Hard type flick.

I would really like to see a MASK film, but keep out the Hollywood dude who rode the crotch rocket that turned into a helicopter. either that or figure out a way to make that look better
The Dolph Lungdren film is great! by performingmonkey	May 18th, 2007 10:08:40 AM
I don't care what anyone says, it's cheeseball fun. Frank Langella as Skeletor is genius. The Star Wars and Superman ripoffs are all there (especially with the score), the humour is fantastic. If anyone hasn't seen it it's their god damned duty to do so, it's part of '80s cinema history. Scenes that stick in my mind are in the high school gym when Courtney Cox (a young HOT Courtney Cox!) is trying to get away from Skeletor's hunters - who are very cool, as well as being funny - it's pretty violent in places, which rules. Also, the siege in the music store. And James 'slacker!' Tolkan takes the flick to another level.

Fuck yeah! Please let this happen!!! by a goonie	May 18th, 2007 10:49:23 AM
I feel like I've loved He-Man my entire life. I was very young when the show first aired and when I started watching it, I felt as though I had discovered the most bad-ass good-vs-evil story ever. For some reason, EVERYTHING about He-Man worked for me. It is safe to say that for me the two biggest fictional creations of my childhood are He-Man and The Goonies... by far. I never lost my love for either property and I have always hoped that I would live to see He-Man back on the big screen. I still remember vividly when the John Woo announcement broke and thinking it was the greatest movie news ever. I was even pretty sick and tired of Woo's penchant for doves and slo-mo by the time the announcement was made, but I didn't care. My excitement had nothing to do with Woo directing and everything to do with He-Man getting his ass back in theaters. So, needless to say, I am overjoyed by this news. I have no idea what this Justin Marks dude will come up with, but at least this news brings my dream of a new He-Man flick one step closer to being a reality.
And in He-Man... by Kid Z	May 18th, 2007 10:57:01 AM

Wasn't the tiger called Battle Cat? P.S. If you do Macross you have to have Lynn Minmei because half the story is the love triangle. You could make her less annoying, but that's a major rewrite... P.P.S. I was showing the Macross movie "Do You Remember Love?" at an animation viewing with a bunch of pre-teens in the audience. There is a scene where Hikaru slaps Minmei - the youngsters applauded...

If Woo had made He-Man by Abominable Snowcone	May 18th, 2007 01:20:35 PM
I wonder if He-Man would have spent the movie dealing with issues about his father. But seriously, if they do make a Masters of the Universe movie, at least one half of the total alotted screen time should be devoted to She-Ra and Teela making out nude in a shower. And I must ask all those who were He-Man fanboys as kids back in the 80s, you do realize now that the cartoon was nothing but one big sexual metaphor, don't you? Come on--I have the POWER?! He yells THAT while holding aloft his GIANT PHALLIC SWORD? Then he's transformed into this shirtless loinclothed dude with a GIANT PHALLIC SWORD? Puh-leeze. If you rearrange the letters in "Masters of the Universe," I'm almost sure it says "Masturbate, you Love It."

okay to break tradition in this circumstance. However, He-Man did have kind of a Flash Gordon/Valiant vibe going on which should remain if they want the movie to stand out. What we don't need is a "realistic" or "modern" fantasy movie. It needs to bring the pulp. Also, it has to have a Sky Sled battle.

My overall story concept would be to introduce by superninja	May 18th, 2007 02:36:53 PM
the idea of a Great War of technology and magic that decimated Eternia (a light side and a dark side of the planet) and caused distrust between all of the kingdoms and how He-Man helps to bring everyone back together and rebuild trust for authority under the rule of King Randor while pirates, wizards and warring factions try to keep the kingdoms divided or seek to gain control themselves. It introduces Hordak, Skeletor, Man At Arms, Randor and the Sorceress during the opening flashback of the Great War and explains how Hordak was banished. Then it jumps to to present with Adam, Teela and the rest as He-Man first emerges. In a twist I would hint He-Man is actually Adam's future self who will someday become King of Eternia.

He-Man movies.... by Thundercats73	May 18th, 2007 03:00:58 PM
If they do He-Man, they need to start right now planing a real trilogy of movies. First... back story (intro of He-Man and Skelator). Remember, He-man's mom was an astronaut from Future Earth that crash lands on Eternia. Skelator had his face burned off (watch the first episodes of the 2002 series for this backstory). Do the whole Lost light/dark symbolism. Two sides to everything. Movie 2... Rise of the Snakemen. I'd throw in the story of the disappearence of Grayskull 80's episode where Skelator used magic to make Castle Grayskull to vanish. End of Movie is the invasion of the Snake Men from Snake Mountain, Castle Grayskull is gone, and He-man loses his power sword literally because the sword is gone if the castle is gone. After He-man's power is removed, the Snake Men betray Skelator. Movie 3... He-Man gets the sword back, Grayskull is restored, the Masters fight back against the snake men with the help of Skelator/Evil Lyn/Beast Man/Trap Jaw/ect. There is a slight hint of the Horde (Hordak) at the end of the movie to open the door to Movie 4. Of course He-Man and Skelator don't remain friends. They just fight together for their own survival against the Snake Men. The idea of light vs Dark and two sides to everything should play a role through the whole series.
WHY DO HE-MAN AGAIN? VOLTRON AND GI JOE! by stlfilmwire	May 18th, 2007 03:09:40 PM
VOLTRON and GI JOE would have bigger openings. WHY? Neither has been done yet. DO IT!

Jeremy Irons as Gargamel. Get Jessica Simpson for Smurette. They could recycle the whole damn cast of Dukes. Ron Howard could helm. It would be like printing money.
I only see Street Fighter working if it's like Xmen. by Mr. Profit	May 18th, 2007 03:37:01 PM
Have a group of good guys (Leader Ken, Unstable Ryu, Chun Li, and other interesting good guys (No one wack like Guile) facing off against a bad group who is out to destroy shit. Base it in Japan to make the setting more interesting. Eliminate all the stupid characters like E. Honda, Blanka, Bison. Have the bad guy be the blue and red dude from "SF3: Fight The Future" you know, that bitch who uses his power when he dies to scream "Resurrection!" and his power fills up. Also a storyline about how Ryu is slowly moving to the darker side. The movie should also feature an out of nowhere and unexplained Fight/Cameo by Akuma setting him up to be the bad guy in the next film. But at this point, I'd take anything over that Van Damme/Raul Juila Bullshit.
And I would love to see a GI: Joe movie..... by Mr. Profit	May 18th, 2007 03:39:36 PM
And have it be a serious action film. But to attract us fanboys, they could re-create a bunch of the classic PSA's use them as commercials for the movie. Then have them air during programming like Adult Swim.
CGI version of "Smurfs and the Magic Flute" by Mr. Profit	May 18th, 2007 03:41:55 PM
Hey CGI worked for the Ninja Turtles. And I would say they should try to do a Bionic Six movie, but you know that shit would end up on The Sci Fi Channel on Sunday Afternoon.

They need to get the casting right. An unknown actor? Maybe, but it could be a wrong move: the intewresting thing will be seeing someone like Paul Walker try to convince us he is He-man: and if he pulls it off...

Re: Voltron by P2Rock	May 18th, 2007 03:49:16 PM
From what I understand Pharrel Williams (yeah that balck skateboard rapper guy) bought the rights for Voltron a few years ago. They loved that in the hood. yeah I dont see this being that great... and who the heck are they gonna get to play He-man? They dont make action heros like they use to. Im sick of skinny pretty boy action fags like pual walker and brad Pitt. They call it Calvinklein-man or Eternia's next top He-man. I miss the eighties cartoons. And what the heck has happend to modern cartoons? beside JLA its all crap. No one the kids these days are messed up.

when/if Transformers does well at the box office, GI Joe will be greenlit. That's familiar for us Joe fans, same thing with the toon movies back in 86. DiBonventura, exec producing Transformers, has the movie rights to GI Joe as well. Don't get too happy though. Early scripts were crap. Topping it off, a few months back DiBonventura claimed to love the property, knowing everything about it... then said he didn't see the sense in keeping Snake Eyes BLIND???? WTF???

Thundarr was the shit! Number one reason Thundarr was better than He-Man... the cat had a lightsaber. Yeah, I know it was called the Sun Sword, but when it's 1981, you're ten years old, and Star Wars is the greatest thing in life, it's a lightsaber.

He said he wouldn't do it because the changes in safety guidelines on movie sets required his moustache to be CGI. I also heard that the role of He-Man's underpants will be played by Kurt Russel's laughter.
I must have watched the old one 30 times by CherryValance	May 18th, 2007 08:47:34 PM
It was on all the time. Frank Langella's "Alpha and Omega" overacting was the best. And everyone really committed to the emotional scenes. It's probably the best acting of Courtney Cox's career. But if they want to try to do another one, fine. They're remaking everything so why not? But no one is gonna look better than Dolph. btw, I'd like to give a shout-out to the Monchichis and the Mighty Heroes.

My only recollection of Thundarr the Barbarian... by CatVutt	May 18th, 2007 09:26:09 PM
Is the fact that I got dragged to some extended weeekend 'retreat' thing in high school, where the guys and babes were separated, and we were somewhat forced into couples situations to go to this dance/dinner thing, and my buddies all got these hot chicks, and I got the heavyset, completely grumpy and humorless one, and at one point during the evening I snapped at some razzing from my buddies and said, roughly, 'Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you all, you guys got fucking lucky, I'm stuck here with Ukla the Fucking Mok', and of course she was standing right behind me, and I got heavily 'counseled'. To this day, in my defense...I don't fucking care if you're fat...but goddamn it, if you're THAT fucking fat, you'd goddamn well better be fucking jolly.

Its not great but i liked it as kid when i was oblivious to how bad it was. But i would really like to see a new he-man movie done correctly also a Thundercats movie would be kinda cool

And I NEED Goonies 2!!!!! by moto	May 19th, 2007 12:42:57 AM
Come on Richard Donner. Fuck the musical or whatever it is that he recently said was in the works (no BS). He even said they tried for a couple of years to write a sequel (recently). JUST DO IT! I think it was a crime for them not to do it back after the original came out. It was a hit. They could have taken it further. COME ON. Here's the story. Mikey has taken over his dad's job at the museum (or wherever it was). He's still a history/pirate lore geek. Other Goonies are in various places around Astoria and rest of the country doing various grown up jobs (Data is of course the CEO of a Macintosh type company). Yes. Gotta have kids involved so some of the kids of the original Goonies (Mikey's kid is of course the "leader") stumble upon another pirate adventure. They get into some shit hunting down treasure... wanting to be like their parents were when they were kids. They're lost. Mikey learns of what they found, and must assemble the original Goonies to find their kids! It's so simple and hey, it could fucking work if there is that same edge the original movie had. The kids swore. They weren't innocent at all. Donner and Spielberg treated the kids stories realistically... unlike most child fodder today. Give it that edge, along with the adventure aspects (hey, Pirates are finally in thanks to Depp and co.), and you have AT LEAST a moderate hit. Sorry. I just geeked out a bit. Granted, Donner is 77 now. Can you believe that? But he'd have direct it. Watch the Goonies DVD video commentary... classic.

Alright, this is getting stupid. Who the fuck would want to see a Voltron or He-Man live action movie. Think about how stupid it would look as well as be. Especially Thunder Cats. Let's just leave these memories of the 80's to be what they're meant to be...memories.
