BRAD PITT is Master Of The Universe in most girls’ eyes.

But he could land the title for real by starring as He-Man in the next nostalgic movie remake.

Legendary Pictures — the team behind Superman Returns — are set to give the Eighties cartoon the 2007 treatment.

A movie source said: “They are very keen on Brad for the role. He’ll have to bulk up though — he’s very fit but not to He-Man proportions.”

If Brad doesn’t fancy beefing up, film chiefs have a back-up.

Glasgow-born GERARD BUTLER — star of this year’s epic 300 — is still in the running.

Raph's Girl note: WTF?! No! That's just...no... so so ever so wrong...

uh yeah my thoughts exactly....

What do you guys have against Brad Pitt? I think he's a good actor, and did very well in one of my favorite movies, Troy. Indeed, if he gets bulkier, he could be pretty good.

*gobo* · 05-08-2007, 06:54 PM

If this was news of an animated venture (ala 2K2), I'd be excited. Since it isn't, I'm just kinda' "whatever"...

**Jo Dawn** · 05-08-2007, 06:57 PM

I think Pitt is way overrated. He's not good looking, by ANY means... And I can't fathom how people think that he IS.

Ugh, it'd totally ruin the movie...

*gobo* · 05-08-2007, 07:08 PM

Wait...

Are you saying that He-Man is supposed to be attractive? I mean, like, to girls??

I thought it was entirely for the lil' boys to go "Ooh, awesome! I'm gonna be like him someday".

Thank you Jo Dawn!!!! Brad Pitt as He-Man

??? Seriously EEWWWW! That is just so wrong on too many levels!!! Gerard Butler, okay, but not Brad Pitt!!! YUCK!

**GK Punk** · 05-08-2007, 07:33 PM

As long as the movie doesn't suck, I'm fine with him as the lead.

Nah, MoTU has tons of female fans as well. Check out he-man.org's message boards and you'll see just how diverse the MoTU Fandom is.

*Cure* · 05-08-2007, 07:36 PM

Yo, shouldn't you guys give him a chance? We know nothing of this movie besides that he MIGHT be considered, and everyone is already up in arms about it. I dunno, I just see that a lot on these boards, passing judgment way too prematurely. I'm gonna wait to see this movie before I decide Brad Pitt is terrible for the role.

**GK Punk** · 05-08-2007, 07:45 PM

As long as he isn't Prince Adam as well. Adam should be played by someone considerably younger.

Now when it comes to casting Skeletor, I'll be picky as hell.

*ZariusTwo* · 05-08-2007, 09:05 PM

LP made a farily well detailed (and underrated) Superman movie, I'll give them a chance here. I loved the original film also, which is also not remotley as bad as people think (then again, I consider the New Adventures of He-Man better than the last new version of the series, so I better watch out for any sniper rifles)

~~LogicDonny~~ · 05-08-2007, 09:27 PM

guess all the girls here in this thread are arguing on who's ugly.

i have nothing on brad pitt but he doesn't look heman style.

i want the Sparttttttttta! guy.

*ZariusTwo* · 05-08-2007, 09:58 PM

I am Adam, prince of Eternia, defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull....

THIS-IS-CRIIINGGGGGEEERRRRR!

My fearless friend.

Just what we need, a bi-polar He-Man.

**GK Punk** · 05-08-2007, 10:00 PM

...Fabulous secrets were revealed to me the day I held aloft my sword and said:

BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL

*LIGHTNING! CRASH EXPLOSION! TRASFORMATION!*

IIIII HAAAVE THE POWERRRRRRRRRR

Cringer became the mighty Battle-Cat, and I became HE-MAN THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE UNIVERSE.

Someone else finish it, I'm too lazy.
We used to call my kitty (The one that died) Cringer. i swear he acted so similar.

...You did'nt get the joke did you?

**Jester** · 05-08-2007, 10:19 PM

Maybe Edward Norton could be Prince Adam and Pitt could be He-man....

Sorry I couldn't resist!

There the most detailed out there buddy

*Raph's Girl* · 05-09-2007, 08:34 AM

Now when you think of the casting for this movie (which has been trying to get off the ground for years)...well...having Brad Pitt is just as wrong as Al Snow as Man At Arms (seriously...he's in the running to play Duncan).

I think at one point Kate Mulgrew was in the running to play the Sorceress...

Now I'll watch a new He-Man movie if:
Frank Langella comes back as Skeletor
Battlecat!
Orko
Robert Duncan McNeil and Courtney Cox cameos to connect at least to the previous movie.
