Great news, that you probably don’t want to get too excited about given how many movies never actually get off the ground but looks like this is fairly official news that a He-Man movie is in development.
Warner is behind it which gives me hopes that ThunderCats as the other hot potential 80s property that they own will see new life too.
I really liked the description in the article about making the He-Man movie feel like 300 did. I friggin loved 300 and think that a similarly styled He-Man flick would KICK ass.
Wow, that is interesting news! Will this be a traditionally animated movie or will the animation be computer-generated? Or will it be a live-action film?:bengali:
And anything that brings hope for a T-Cat revival is good news indeed. Now, let’s just hope that Warner Brothers gets it right by actually learning about the fans first and then going on to a new series.:cheetaraveryhappy:
A live-action film would be okay for He-Man. But I don’t think I’d like seeing a live-action T-Cat film. A lot of fans probably won’t agree with me, but I think Lion-O and Company would be far better served if they remained in cartoon form. Only have the cartoon of the same quality as X-Men: Evolution or Star Wars: Clone Wars.:bengali:
I used to think you could only make a cheezy live action TCats movie but I’ve changed my mind on this… when I think of the job they did on X-Men 2 with Beast and Nightcrawler I really start thinking you could pull of ThunderCats too.
Check out these images too… I like the Panthro and Tygra, not so keen on the Lion-O one (looks like Dolph Lundgren) though. I really think that it could work…
I’d prefer to see a new Cartoon that had a solid 2 or 3 season run than a live action flick… but I’d love to have a well done movie too.
The 3D Panthro isn’t bad, but the Lion-O one isn’t good at all. It’s slap-dash. I don’t care for the costume he’s wearing; he looks like a character out of a third-rate “ancient Rome” movie. And the accessories on Tygra’s arm and shoulder are too exaggerated to blend smoothly with the rest of his outfit.
No, the ThunderCats are far better off as animated characters in a cartoon show or animated film. Live-action or 3D doesn’t do them justice.:bengali:
. He’s turning the animated series “Voltron” into a live-action film for producer Mark Gordon.
Sounds like a great idea there as well. They did a Power Rangers movie back in the 90’s and for what it was it wasn’t to bad. They could definitely pull this off and make it look great.
I could be wrong, but I’m 99% sure that the Lion-O image you see there is a photoshopped photo of Dolph Lundgren portraying He-Man in the 1987 live-action Masters of the Universe movie (which I dislike) - I agree, not a great fan of that costume for Lion-O. The other two I think look great, though!
At the JoeCon last year, people were photographing at I believe they also had two people videotaping Sgt. Slaughter’s session. So perhaps, you may be able to video.
Also, that Tygra and Panthro are mean (in a really good way) Lion-O is a no-go though.
This discussion has moved to the heman.org Masters of the Universe forum.
