After John Woo's attempt at a MOTU movie didn't come to fruition 20th Century Fox let the rights go back to Mattel, a writer at Silver Pictures named Kristian Harloff heard word that a script for a MOTU movie was in turnaround, being a lifelong fan of the I.P he wanted to give the script a read and after reading it he didn't like the current script and decided to make a treatment and try and get it picked up, with help of Mark E Reilly they pitched the idea to Legendary Pictures who was working with Warner Bros at the time Harloff had a meeting with Neal at Legendary and approved of the treatment and told Harloff that he'll see what he can do but a few weeks later Neal told him that the Studio passed on it because they were making a reboot of Conan the Barbarian and the movies felt too similar to each other so they decided to pass on MOTU and it was cut off like that, however Neal had kept treatment and sought to make it into a full script behind Harloff's back and hired Justin Marks to rewrite it and was now moving ahead at Warner Bros it was envisioned as an ambitious Lord of the Rings type of film, however they struggled to find a director but eventually John Stevenson was chosen to direct the film but however things stalled as a new writer was hired to rewrite the film and WB and Mattel were clashing over how the movie should be, and after awhile things fell apart, however what if this came to fruition? This is who i feel could've been casted in the roles.
