Children of the '80s prepare for another assault on your childhood.

By the power of Grayskull, Fox has tapped action director John Woo to bring He-Man to the big screen properly in a live action adaptation. He-Man was the lead character in the popular cartoon series "Masters of the Universe." No word if He-Man's twin sister She-Ra will make a cameo, but you can bet your bottom dollar that his sidekick Battle Cat and Skeletor will be featured heavily.

He-Man was previously given the live action/big screen treatment in 1987's Masters of the Universe starring Dolph Lundgren in the lead role. It was mostly unwatchable.
