  • brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+94Christopher Walken should play every character.
  • handymansolo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+55How about Angelina Jolie as She-Ra and Vince Vaughn as Skeletor? I smell blockbuster!
  • omnithought, on 10/12/2007, -2/+50I vote Christopher Walken as Skeletor!
  • TheProtested, on 10/12/2007, -4/+46@PsychoticClown

    because none of them can act...well...at all
  • r00tus3r, on 10/12/2007, -4/+43Did this clown just say Brad Pitt can't act? Have you seen Snatch, Fight Club or even Meet Joe Black?

    *edit ... oh wait, clown is actually in his nick ... and he's psychotic to boot ...
  • andrewsmith1986, on 10/12/2007, -2/+39Someone just needs to make a Walken movie.
  • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -0/+36Everyone note the source.. it's The Sun, they're about as reputable as The Onion.
  • lazyeyesam, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37Just please don't cast Vin Diesel!
  • regedit2D, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24exactly. Who aside from the Rock has had a semi-succesful movie. And supporting roles don't count, so don't use Blade:Trinity
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Chuck Norris for Man-At-Arms.
  • Vic333, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Yes, if just Angelina's kids go see it, it'll be a big hit.
  • GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18What! It would make Brad Pitt's career. Obviously 7 and Fight Club bare no comparison to the honour of being a master of the universe.
  • bariswheel, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17Willem Dafoe should play skeletor, he looks wicked.

  • RichLatherX23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13A remake of the Queen theme? DOES NOT COMPUTE.
  • pixel8tion, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Cate Blanchette for Skeletor!
  • ahhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Pitt is way too small to be He-man. He-man is supposed to be a guy of Arnie's proportions.
  • PATSCRU, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11there's no fn way his manager would sign on for this.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Brad's career must really be sagging to have to even consider playing a role first filled by dolf lundgren in the 90s.
  • mlvassallo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Prince William?

    You mean Adam, right?
  • radio1mike, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Uhh, yeah. Because we really need a remake of the '87 version with Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella.

    Wanna remake a comic book/cartoon type movie? Remake Flash Gordon! Get the guy who did Sky Captain to do it.
  • mlvassallo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12http://www.donnagrant.com/pictures/kevin_sorbo_3.jpg

    Why not Kevin Sorbo!!?!?!?
  • sarazen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12He has the Power!
  • Coffeedemon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10They don't have to "ruin" anything. Go back and re-watch some episodes. Its like GI Joe and the Transformers... great when we were 10 but apparently time has made fools of us all.
  • gincarnated, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11r00tus3r how could you forget 12 Monkeys. Probably my favorite Pitt performance.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Less reputable, more poorly written :-(
  • roxya, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10He was bulked up enough in Troy.
  • mojoel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Flash Gordon is coming to SciFi in August according to IMDB with a remake of Queen's "Flash" theme. No word on who exactly the band is yet.
  • DangerMouse9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6If they ever make a sequel to Being John Malkovich it should be Being Christopher Walken.
  • GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8He-Man does not suck damn you.
  • catalysis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Adam Sandler as Skeletor
  • DDRSkata, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Why is anyone paying attention to PsychoticClown's opinions anyway? He's a juggalo and a WWE fan...clearly not a man with the greatest taste in the universe.
  • Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The last time a movie called for a blonde superhero of He-Man size and muscle, they cast Topher Grace...
  • scottjw, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Oops, I read She-Man, coffee time.
  • GiggleStick, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I don't know if Ahnold would be good for He-Man (maybe that orange Beast guy) but his wife is definitely perfect for Skeletor!

  • Weakling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Dolph Lundgren is the only He-Man and the movie he played he-man in rocks!

    ...

    Well, it rocks if you like cheapo effects and clunky dialog. Cult, it's a cult movie I tell you!
  • hornfinger, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9So Brad Pitt wants to be an even bigger gay icon? What next? A remake of the Wuzzles with the cast of Entourage?
  • Joolies, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The only thing more unreliable than The Sun newspaper is the The Sun Online, they make up *****.
  • BoomShake007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4they should have used one of the actors from 300. they're already the right proportions
  • AgentDale, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Verne Troyer (mini-me) as Orko.
  • Markpdotcom, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Shame he can't act either.

    It could be a good movie, or it could be a camp mess. I'd prefer the first over the latter.
  • spudlyo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3By the power of Greyskull!

    Does this guy remind you of anyone?

  • stinkfart, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4He-Man is an anti-semitic cartoon depicting a hulkish Aryan fellow with an Iron Cross emblazoned across his chest while he does battle against the evil Jewish overlord (Skeletor). With that in mind, Mel Gibson is clearly the most qualified to play this character and put some heart into it.
  • eatsushi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Bradd Pitt is a good actor, but he's no Dolph Lundgren, the original He-Man.
  • czer323, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Anyone else immediately think about this video?

  • moonbastic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Steve Buscemi as Orko!
  • ReeseKaine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Here's an idea: Brad Pitt as mild-mannered (And overly-"cowardly") Prince Adam, but after pulling out the sword...............TRIPLE-H!

  • Modulo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Brad Pitt to Play He-Man!?" A simple answer to a simple question. No. This will never ever happen.
