word on the street is that they will finally be making Greyskull.

Marks' script has been described as "Lord of the Rings meets The Matrix," which is difficult to argue. The opening has sorceress Evil-Lyn detailing the origin of the universe as a mythic swordsmith forges two magic swords at the beginning of time. These are the legendary Sword of Light and Sword of Darkness. Mythology is established, revealing that the joining of the two swords enabled King Grayskull to save Eternia from the Forces of Darkness decades ago. Following his victory, Grayskull entrusts six wise warriors -- the original Masters of the Universe -- to hide the two swords.

In the present day, Evil-Lyn (who has betrayed her fellow Masters) leads the villainous Keldor to the Sword of Darkness. As he touches the hilt, darkness consumes his flesh, foreshadowing his transformation into Skeletor. Keldor leads an attack on his brother, King Randor, who's introduced lecturing his son Adam, a spoiled teen who can't seem to avoid getting into fights.

80s kids deserve a better GI Joe reboot than the Tatum/Rock movies

I love these boomer threads


Do most of y’all post from an iPhone or do y’all still have those beige box computers?

They’re making a Hot Wheels movie directed by JJ Abrams, as well Magic 8 Ball, American Girl Doll, Polly Pocket, Rock-em Sock-em Robots, and UNO movies. We had the Marvel Cinematic Universe, now we’re gonna have the Mattel Toys Universe

They'd better leave Tom and Jerry, Coyote/Roadrunner alone.

Based on what they did with Barbie, I'm not sure why anyone would want them to do this for any other properties.

That's what I'm thinking. Every time they drag these old IPs out to milk them they end up ruining them for "modern audiences."

I really don’t see how any of those could actually make a good movie.

Can we have a He-Man movie that oozes with toxic masculinity? Hell, can it just be a buff gay gangbang where they all drink beer after?

I don't know about a good movie but there are already 14 American Girl films so they were able to make something out of it.

Rest assured, they won’t. But here we are none the less.
