Columbia Pictures has announced that their upcoming version of Masters Of The Universe has recruited new writers. Mike Finch and Alex Litvak who penned the Robert Rodriguez-produced PREDATORS will tackle the script. A production schedule for Masters Of The Universe has yet to be released.
According to THR – Columbia Pictures says,
“[Finch and Litvak are attempting to] balance a treatment that would convince the studio it was cinematic and keep the toy company satisfied that its characters were being portrayed appropriately”
The ’80s show, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, centered on blond warrior Prince Adam, who, after uttering the magic words “By the power of Grayskull, I have the power,” turned into the heroic He-Man. He and his allies — Battle Cat, Man-at-Arms and Orko — defended their planet Eternia from the evil forces of Skeletor, who week after week attempted to conquer the fortress Castle Grayskull, which imbues He-Man with his powers.
