He-Man finds writers

According to the Heat Vision blog, Mike Finch and Alex Litvak, who wrote the script for the “Predators” reboot, will write the “Masters of the Universe” script for Columbia.

“Masters of the Universe” featured He-Man, Skeletor and other highly muscled sword-and-sorcery characters in the land of Eternia.  Warner Bros. departed from the project after being unable to come to agreement with Mattel on the direction of the property, according to Heat Vision.

According to a 2009 MovieTickets.com poll, He-Man was the most desirable 1980s animated property to be re-made into a film.
