Plans to bring He-Man and the Masters Of The Universe back to the screen are slowly moving forward, with Variety reporting that screenwriter Richard Wenk has signed on to rewrite the script, working from the original draft by Alex Litvak and Michael Finch (Predators).
The movie will follow He-Man, a young warrior trying to defeat the nefarious powers of Greyskull – including the notorious Skeletor – to save his magical world. Back in July, Jon M. Chu (G.I. Joe Retaliation) signed up to direct. Richard Wenk most recently co-wrote The Expendables 2 and has been working on a remake of The Equalizer. His other credits include 16 Blocks and The Mechanic.
Sony Pictures is set to distribute the movie, although it isn’t known when filming will begin.
