CANCELLED?
UPDATED: Well it turns out that Sony has indefinitely shit-canned He-Man, having pulled it permanently from any release schedule. It’s impossible for anyone to top Dolph Lundgren anyway.
The film’s March 2021 release date has been replaced by Uncharted, starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, in probably the worst selection of casting in recent times.
PREVIOUSLY: Here’s Goyer talking about this film this week. He says he was working behind the scenes for several weeks on the film and thought the script was really good:
“This one was fun and it made the world more fantastic than I thought it could go. It felt arty and fantastical at the same time… I’m not going to talk too much about it, I know they’re making it still. But I’ll tell you it was… just the story of Greyskull and that sort of thing and there was some really cool stuff in there. I don’t think they’re gonna make that version. I know they’re not going to.
It was like a Lord of The Rings film, it was huge! And there was all kinds of stuff in there, you could have divided up that script into three movies and it would have worked. That’s how big it was. [Actually] It was a more fantastic version of Lord of The Rings, is what I’ll say. It’s a more colorful and fantastical version of Lord of The Rings, but it felt as real as Lord of The Rings. It was very real but very far-out. It was a final return to science fiction fantasy where we’ve only had one: Star Wars.”

a more fantastical colourful fantasy version of LOTR actually sounded pretty cool - probably would've been abit like a mega budget version of 80s sword/sorcery fantasy movies (Krull, Beastmaster, Hawk The Slayer, DragonSlayer, the 2 Conans, Fire & Ice, Highlander, and of course 87 Masters of the Universe and Star Wars OT) and influenced by the 80s surreal ethereal heavy metal album covers, and fantasy sword&sorcery artwork (like the 80s MOTU toon obviously was) share
