THE THRONE OF GREY SCULL?
Something that was met with mostly negative reactions today around the web is info that Noah Centineo is wanted for the lead role in the epic movie adaptation of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE in which he would play Prince Adam who turns into He-Man. The movie was previously supposed to be made in a very rich and epic Lord of the Rings style by David S. Goyer but he left the project which is now being directed by Aaron and Adam Nee. Noah Centineo is only known for starring in Netflix comedies To All the Boys I've Loved Before and How to Build a Better Boy! Adam, the prince of Eternia is a blond haired muscly mediaeval Nordic type of hunk with a massive sword in the comic books and animated movie, so no one knows why they've opted for a very dark type as Centineo.
Cute boy, but not what I would picture a live action He-Man to look like. I can see why that was met with such a negative reaction. He's a bit on the young side too it seems. I'd go for someone about 5 years older, fairer, and buffer.
ReplyDeleteHe's the worst possible solution, somebody mentioned Alexander Skarsgard, hell yes! Or Henry Cavill!
DeleteBoth excellent choices that I'd be in favor of as well!
DeleteJust imagine Henrylicious in skimpy loincloth, boots and a sword....
DeleteEva Green looks very beautiful in the picture! That's a good start.
ReplyDeleteNow to the setting. To me, New Zeeland is at the end of the world, Add to this the gold rush which attracts all sorts of more or less dubious characters, and you get an exciting six-part series about greed,new beginnings, adventure, love.
The series sounds very promising.
a story set in some isolated place in the end of the world is always a very promising one.
