By The Power of Greyskull - Possible Masters of the Universe Live Action Film

A recent survey by the Sydney Institute of Film Studies shows that over 90% of fans of the show 'Masters of the Universe' would go and see a live action movie based on the cartoon. 'So many fans of the show are interested in seeing a live action film based on the show, our studies project that any live action film based on Masters of the Universe will turn a good profit just due to the fan base already established' says professor Carl Van den Burg of the institute.

Masters of the Universe hero, Heman

The study shows that of 10 000 people surveyed between 18-35 years old, over 80% had seen the show, and 60% were fans. Of the fans, over 75% were males aged between 25 and 30, and 90% of them said they would see a live action film based on the popular cartoon series.

Casting and film expert Frank Jones said in a comment this week, 'It would be interesting to see who would get the role of Heman, he is so strong and charismatic, you would need to get a actor of similar attributes to really pull this one off.' In another statement Jones commented that, 'This movie would be a great opportunity for some up and coming actors to get their foot in the door with some leading roles, since the greats like Sylvester and Arnold are getting old, there's really some scope for a new "muscle man" actor to step up'

At the Sydney Institute of Film Studies Film Ideas convention this weekend, up and coming producer Michael Richards said today that he would consider taking on the task of making a live action Masters of the Universe film. Relatively new on the scene, Richards has made 5 different short films and one feature film, each performing relatively well in Australian film festivals.
