AfterElton Fantasy Casting: By the power of Gayskull, it's the "He-Man" movie!

Snicks, I'm developing such a cybercrush on you the more you write (and since you put up your picture).  Ryan in a fur loincloth -  - I might not be able to watch that in a public theater.  Candis, an unconventional choice, but I like it.  Skeletor, the obvious choice is Marc Anthony, of J.Lo fame.  Not costume required.

I don't share your extraordinary passion for Stevie - she's a great talent, just not someone my mind drifts to naturally. For the Sorceress, I think someone classically British, like Kate Winslet. 

Fisto, if that's the description we're going for, maybe the new, slimmer Seth Rogan, if it's true that the Green Lantern movie is stalled, we could use that sexy fireplug here.

Other ideas, Evil-Lyn could be Megan Fox.  And I think it would be a waste to not see him onscreen, but for some odd reason, my brain says Neil Patrick Harris should voice Orko.  I don't know why. 

I like Ryan Reynolds for He-Man as well!  Now who will voice Orko?  And is this where I confess that I had more of a crush on the evil Fakor than He-Man?!  I don't know if that's because he was evil or because he was light blue!  

I need to watch the old Masters of the Universe movie again since I just read Grant Morrison describe it as somehow similar to Jack Kirby's Fourth World.  

Ryan's definitely a keeper as He-Man.

Here's a thought: How about someone actually attractive for Skeletor, just a bit older and more grizzled than Ryan -- but still hot in own way. Maybe less father and son dynamic and more older and younger brother.

Which brings me to... Daniel Craig as Skeletor. (See my avitar.)

Hey, a boy can dream, right?!

 

Sorry, but as much as I'd LOVE to see Ryan in a furry jockstrap... He-Man is more the bulky, hairless body-builder type.  I would have to say it's gotta be someone HUGE.  Maybe a hunky Pro Footbal or wrestling star?  I don't really know of any off the top of my head, but just thought I'd mention that.  I do think Ryan would make one hell of a snarky Prince Adam tho!

Or better yet... Ryan could just work out like crazy and get HUGE for the role!

And what about "Man-At-Arms"?  He'd be an important character, too!  Guess it should be a rough looking older type rockin the stache.  Think Tom Selleck would do?

John Turturro (who freaks me out for some reason) can be Skeletor.  Angelina Jolie for Sorceress, David Harbour as Fisto, Jack Black as Ram-Ram and Clare Danes as Teela.

There, all done.  Hollywood, hire me.  :)

the pic next to candice isn't teela.  teela is satanding next to the sorceress in the top pic.

i say mandy moore for teela. daniel craig for man at arms.

Have you any beans you'd like to sell?

...well sue me...but I did like the 1987 movie....and I think Dolph Lundgren is a doll. Have never been a big fan of Ryan Reynolds (sorry snicks....by the way...dont know if u remember me...but I am expecto_patronus from the other forum;-))...anyhow...dont think Ryan Reynolds is buff enough to pull of He-Man...pretty much any actress can play Teela. I think Meg Foster was terrific as Evelyn. This time around they should get Angelina Jolie...she has the same sexy vixen quality. For Sorcress, my choice would be Madonna (as a kid I always fantazided about Madonna playing Sorcress in He-Man movie and Catwoman in Catwoman/Batman movie).I do hope they keep the character of Orko.

 

BTW, if any have watched the original Masters Of The Universe movie, not sure if u know, it starred a very young Courtney Cox.

 

My mother both agree that ryan reyonalds is hot so yes i would see this movie if it had him in it... I don't Care if its horrid and pointless, JUST GIVE MY RYAN REYONALDS SHIRTLESS!!!!

 

-Chaotic/Devient-

I was so glad when I found out they were giving the go ahead for this movie. Spent many hours playing with those action figures, I had a lot of them.

One of the things thats good about the concept of "re imagining" is that you keep the basic elements and you can take license with every else. I dont think its a  good idea to find bodybuilder types to fit the cartoon, that probably why they got stuck with subpar talent for the first movie, I mean Dolph Lundgrend, please.

On that note, I think Ryan Reynolds would be almost perfect casting. I also entertained the idea of Robert Buckley and Paul Walker.

As for Skeletor, the first and really only actor that came to mind was Hugh Laurie, I dont really know why.

Finally, put a moustache on him and Aaron Eckhart would make a good Man At Arms for me. You can cast just about anyone in the rest of the guy roles and the girls I just dont care. 

BTW Snicks, I just could not stop laughing at your choice of Skeletor, inspired and good choice of pictures too.

I hope they dont mess it up.

I think bodybuilder types are ok if you're going for He-Man being a stuntman part and Adam an actor's one (similar to the last He-Man show where Adam was in his teens and scrawnier than He-Man) or a Skeletor with a mo-cap skull composited on top of some muscleman (like they did on Benjamin Button). 

If the description in this article is any indication, this is going to be complete crap.
