‘Thor 3’ Writer Christopher Yost Rewriting ‘He-Man’ Movie!!!
Great news, ‘Thor 3’ Writer Christopher Yost Rewriting ‘He-Man’ Movie, so Sony Pictures and Escape Artists’ Masters of the Universe reboot should be AWESOME.
CelebNMusic247.com has got word that Terry Rossio and Jeff Wadlow previously took cracks at the He-Man script, but the studio has decided to go with a rewrite by Christopher Yost.
When your hot you’re hot!
The “He Man” adventure epic will take place on fictional planet of Eternia. With that said, having Yost on board we feel “He Man is in good hands, because the last thing any of us want is another EPIC FAIL like Fantastic Four, no thanks to Jeremy Slater (we should have known since he did another EPIC FAIL, The Lazarus Effect), Simon Kinberg and Josh Trank.
Variety broke the news that Yost is handling scripting duties for Masters of the Universe, which makes this only his third feature film to date. He’s been an active writer in the TV world since 2005, turning in work for X-Men: Evolution, The Batman, two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, and more shows set in the Marvel comics universe. It’s that Marvel experience that helped land him a screenwriting job on Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Thor: The Dark World. Yost then pivoted that position into a return to the writer’s chair for Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok, which he’ll script alongside his fellow TV series writer, Craig Kyle. Yost also has script credits for Stewart Hendler’s Max Steel, which is in post-production but doesn’t yet have a release date.
As for the Masters of the Universe reboot itself, not too much is known about the plot beyond what the franchise’s animated and cinematic adventures of the past have shown us already. The story centers around Prince Adam, a capable warrior who becomes superpowered when he uses his mystical sword to transform into He-Man. He defends the realm against the villainous Skeletor, who seeks to conquer the mysterious fortress known as Castle Grayskull in order to learn its ancient secrets hidden away inside.
Unfortunately, the project has yet to find a director to replace Jon M. Chu, who vacated the director’s chair due to scheduling conflicts. So while Yost’s involvement is at least promising that the reboot is still going forward, I wouldn’t expect much progress until the final draft is turned in and Sony finds it to their liking.
Who do you think should play He Man?
Let your comments below so Sony Pictures can see who you’d want to be He Man and Skeletor.
Remember first Masters of The Universe hit the big screen in 1987 and starred a young Courtney Cox, Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, Meg Foster and more. If you love He-Man we recommend checking it out. #Classic
