MGM & Amazon In talks to bring He-man to live action again!

Director Travis Knight has also cast a few of Skeletor’s henchmen:
- Sam C. Wilson (“House of the Dragon”) will play Trap Jaw
- Kojo Attah (“The Beekeeper”) will play Tri-Klops
- Hafthor Bjornsson (“Game of Thrones” the Mountain) will play Goat Man

Goat man? From the 80s kids books? That's a deep cut.

I actually had to Google who he was.

But I’m so excited this film is actually happening after years and years of people trying and failing to get it off the ground.

Now filming!

They’ve been building Castle Grayskull on the backlot here for the last few months, once Jurassic wrapped. Kind of strange to think of Travis Knight making a movie a stone's throw from our place.

Any photos of the set leak online yet?

[Ben]

Not that I’ve seen, although you can see bits from the highway as you drive past that I’m surprised haven’t made it out yet.

In other he-man movie news next month marks secret of the swords 40th anniversary. Fans are trying to get fathom events to rerelease it in theaters and encouraging fans to contact fathom events and dreamworks.

Always worth posting again…

How in the world have I never seen that!

And the music video has orko who is also on some of the movie posters--and is not in the movie at all!

Ironic somewhere out there is listed as the first music video based on an animated movie on mtv when transformers the movie, secret of the sword and robotech the movie all had music videos before it!

[Ben]

I love that’s it’s more a short than just a music promo. He-Man singing longingly never fails to make my jaw drop and crack me up, in a nice way. Random!
