Fall Of The House Of GRAYSKULL! He-Man Movie Deep-Sixed By WB!

Beaks here...

Though I'm not exactly delighting in Joel Silver's current troubles at Warner Brothers, I'm not exactly heartbroken to learn that GRAYSKULL, Justin Marks's reinvention of the "Masters of the Universe", er, universe, is dead. According to Latino Review's El Mayimbe, the project fell apart when Silver Pictures exec Navid McIlhargey bolted for a Senior VP post at New Regency. It also didn't help that all of the A-list directors approved of by WB (including Bryan Singer and Doug Liman) turned the film down.

You can read El Mayimbe's report here. And his script review (which I couldn't disagree with more) here.

This is a real shame for Marks. He was working with some of the best source material of his career...
