So, Jon M. Chu might be directing a new Masters of the Universe movie. According to Deadline Hollywood, the man behind dance battle films like Step Up 3D and non-dance battle films like the delayed G.I. Joe: Retaliation is close to getting the deal through Sony and Escape Artists. But let’s concentrate on the fact that this means we’re one step closer to seeing The Rock as Prince Adam/He-Man. Speculation? Sure. But it’s undoubtedly something Sony has to be considering, and Chu’s involvement could help make it happen. Right now, the script from Alex Litvak (Predators, The Three Musketeers (2011)) and Mike Finch is called Grayskull but is currently under review at Mattel. A toy company. That’s looking over a movie script. So you know it’s going to be good. Nevertheless, the image of The Rock with a blond Dutch Boy haircut lifting a sword high above his head and screaming is enough to wash away the giant doubts.

The man behind Kung Fu Panda might have just landed himself a gig directing a sweaty Aryan Prince that gets muscles By the Power of Grayskull.
