The Hollywood Reporter has announced that yet another has gained fabulous powers from the Masters of the Universe: newcomer Evan Daugherty has been tapped to write the latest draft of “Greyskull,” Warner Bros.’ new He-Man film.
Here’s what the Reporter says about this reboot:
Warners sees the big-screen version as a gritty fantasy and reimagines Adam as a soldier who sets off to find his destiny, happening upon the magical world of Eternia. There, Skeletor has raised a technological army and is bent on eradicating magic.
That said, Daugherty seems to be an industrious up-and-comer, working his way through various contests on the strength of his unproduced script “Shrapnel,” as well as doing freelance editing. His work has been bounced around from Script Pimp to Energy Entertainment.
Kung Fu Panda’s John Stevenson is attached to direct the film.

“We want it Dark and Gritty and we see it as mainly being set at night and-”
“You want it to be like the Dark Knight. Right. Got it.”

Ya, you still have his name incorrect in the first paragraph too. maybe a find/replace is in order? So you can get ALL of the errors?
