The champion Prince of Eternia, is ready for a newer more big budget film right now. But wouldn't it would be cool to make a He-Man movie trilogy 20-25 years ago (not counting that cheese fest that Cannon Films made in 1987). I'm here to cast a good He-Man film series that doesn't include the following; Dolph Lundergen, a star from TV's "Friends" (just like "Lost in Space"), having it mostly set on Earth, a final showdown that completely ran out of budget and time, and less characters from the cartoon. The Eternian gods are smiling upon this one; once Ron Howard ("The Grinch", "Willow") is in the director's chair with his Imagine Entertainment producing these flick, James Horner ("The Mask of Zorro") doing the epic music score, as well as those ILM and Weta FX guru's handling all the stuff. We're saying "HEYEAYEAYEA" on this one here, folks!
