In October, news came out that
Jon M. Chu ("G.I. Joe: Retailiation") was no longer attached to direct Columbia’s live-action reboot of
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. A couple weeks ago, Jon M. Chu explained that he left the project due to his commitment to the third live-action
G.I. Joe film, which he will be directing for Paramount. Now, the website,
schmoesknow.com, is reporting that their source has a list of directors that are in the running for the gig, and a few will certainly surprise. Take a look.
The names are pretty stellar in the Sci-Fi world and are as follows: Joe Cornish (ATTACK THE BLOCK), Rian Johnson (LOOPER), Andy Muschietti (MAMA), Kirk DeMicco & Chris Sanders (THE CROODS) and Phil Lord and Chris Miller (21 JUMP STREET).
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is an American animated television series (1983-1985). The show, consisting of two 65-episode series, was produced by Filmation, based on the original toyline by Mattel.
