I'm being mocked in the MTV newsroom for my excitement over this news, but I don't care. He-Man is a badass, and not because his alter-ego -- Prince Adam -- is named like my name. That's not the only reason anyway. No. He-Man is a badass because he rides a Battle Cat and talks to his magical sword and still wins the day every time. He was also brought to life by Dolph Lundgren in the first movie adaptation of the Mattel toy line, and you just don't mess with that man.

Don't count on Lundgren coming back for the long-gestating second attempt at an adaptation, which has finally found a home with Sony, according to a report in Variety. Sony is partnered with Escape Artists, with the project being led by producers Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch, who intend to start "from scratch." Read more...

By the power of Grayskull, we have a screenwriter! The long-gestating "He-Man" film adaptation -- which will be titled "Grayskull" based on He-Man's own fortress -- has recruited a scribe to write the newest draft of the screenplay.

Just as the unimpressive Prince Adam transforms into the herculean He-Man, so too will newcomer Evan Daugherty rise from anonymity to pen the latest draft of "Grayskull" for Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Daugherty will work off of a previous draft written by "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" screenwriter Justin Marks.

For those of you who did not grow up with the wonderful action figures and television show from the 1980s, "He-Man" told the story of Prince Adam, who transformed into the impossibly buff (and awesome) warrior known as He-Man. Every week, He-Man brought his sword to bear upon the nefarious Skeletor and his evil lackeys as they tried to conquer Castle Grayskull, Prince Adam's fortress, as well as the source of his powers.

By the power of Grayskull, how the heck do you turn a hero famous for a whimsical cartoon into a credible action hero? You first have to make him real, "Grayskull" screenwriter Justin Marks told MTV News.

"I grew up on the 'He-Man' cartoon and watched 'He-Man' six days a week. The notion that I think we most took from the cartoon are the characters, and trying to find a way that is true to them," he said of his planned adaptation, which is currently in development at Warner Brothers. "Now, at the same time, we had to come up with why that is the way it is. I mean you're talking about sword-and-sandal meets science fiction meets fantasy meets everything, and how does that all kind of blend into the same world? And so we had to come up with very specific rules that explained why Trapjaw looks the way he looks, and why Cyclops -- who is awesome -- looks the way he looks." Read more...
