Sony’s Live Action ‘Masters of the Universe’ Movie Eyes 2020 Release
At one point, Sony’s new live action Masters of the Universe movie had been set for release in December 2019, but it had been pretty clear for a while now that He-Man’s return wasn’t actually going to make that date. After all, filming hasn’t even begun.
Indeed it won’t, as Sony is now eyeing a 2020 release for Masters.
Last we heard, brothers Adam and Aaron Nee (Band of Robbers) had been hired to direct a script penned by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway (Men in Black: International, Iron Man).
Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before) is reportedly in talks to play the new movie’s He-Man. Dolph Lundgren played the character in the ’87 film.
The movie will be based on the beloved Mattel toyline, which spawned a successful animated TV series (1983-85) as well as the 1987 film. The property centers on the warrior He-Man, the last hope of a magical land called Eternia.
Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch, as well as DeVon Franklin are producing, with David S. Goyer (who wrote the first draft) executive producing.
Following in the wake of Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse getting their own horror movies, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next to get the twisted treatment.
Originally published in 1837, the original tale of The Little Mermaid is now in the public domain, and MSR Media International presents their own horror version of the tale this year.
The Little Mermaid is being distributed by Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film has officially been rated “R” this week for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”
In the film from director Leigh Scott, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.
“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”
Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff and Jeff Denton star in The Little Mermaid.
You can watch the trailer now over on MSR Media International’s website.
