New MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE Documentary Recalls Challenges Of Making Live-Action He-Man
Commentary that was meant for a since-canceled 25th anniversary DVD re-issue of 1987's Masters of the Universe finds it's way online. Hear about all the struggles director Gary Goddard encountered while trying to make his He-Man film.
Goddard approached Warner Home Video about re-releasing the MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE film on DVD for it's 25th anniversary including all the new special features he and Lay had begun working on. Even Bryan Singer (Director, X-MEN, USUAL SUSPECTS) agreed to come onboard to moderate an all new commentary track with Goddard and Frank Langella (Skeletor). After months of communication and positive response from the studio, Goddard was told that they would not move forward with their plan to re-issue the film at the moment.
Both Lay and Goddard were immensely disappointed since they had begun compiling and creating a plethora of all new content which would have made this reissue a very special DVD for fans of the film and the Masters franchise.
Here's a short sample of the new documentary that was meant to be the centerpiece of the new DVD reissue of the film. If the new anniversary DVD won't be released, Lay still plans on including this material in the special features of his upcoming TOY MASTERS film when it is released on DVD/BLU-RAY. - he-man.org
