He-Man project gets a new writer

Warner Brothers has appointed new scriptwriter Evan Daugherty to pen a version of He-Man for the big screen. Named Grayskull in its current draft stages, this contemporary take on Mattel’s Masters Of The Universe line already has Kung Fu Panda’s John Stevenson in line to direct.

The story will feature Prince Adam reaching the magical world of Eternia and getting embroiled in a battle with the evil Skeletor. The film is reportedly taking a grittier route and will see Adam on a quest to realise his destiny, an endeavour that will no doubt see him transform into the mighty He-Man.

Previous to this appointment, Daugherty has only one scripting credit to his name, that being the currently unproduced Shrapnel. As for Grayskull, the film is currently without a shooting date and as of yet no actors have been cast in the film.
