SHE-RA EPIC LIVE ACTION
TV SERIES AT AMAZON
Although there is currently an animated version, Amazon is planning to turn SHE-RA into a live action epic series. Dream Works will produce
the series from the He-Man universe. In the original 80's animated series, She-Ra’s real name is Princess Adora, the long lost twin sister of Prince Adam, or He-Man. She was kidnapped as a baby by Hordak of the Evil Horde and taken to the planet Etheria, where she was mind controlled into serving as a Force Captain of the Horde. He-Man eventually helped her break the mind control and gave her the Sword of Protection, which allows her to transform into She-Ra and grants her incredible power. The new live action series will not be connected with the current Netflix animated series.

Well hmm, those are definitely something to look into checking out. I love Tom Welling so I'll check out Professionals for sure.
ReplyDeleteWe definitely did miss Welling on the small screens, he is ever so cute even with the grayish hair.
DeleteI like Bradley Cooper and Cate Blanchett, so I look forward to NIGHTMARE ALLEY!
ReplyDeleteThey are both amazing actors. I'm surprised he hasn't got an Oscar for The Star is Born as he was amazingly convincing unlike Gaga who was mediocre in it (but wrote amazing songs for it).
DeleteI'm all in on Nightmare Alley and even the He-Man remake. Tom Welling AND Brandon Fraser? I'm all in on Professionals just to see the cast. Those are two names I haven't heard in a long, long time. I used to have a major crush on Tom Welling when he was Clark Kent on the CW.
ReplyDeleteWe all had a crash on him and on Fraser too back in the days.
DeleteShe-ra was my jam back in the 80s. Even though we were poor, mom managed to get me the castle and dolls for my birthday one year. I played the heck out of those toys. I sure wish I still had them! Will be looking forward to the live version! The current one looks stupid on Netflix.
DeleteShe was so lovely in that animated series and Sorceress Zoar as well! She was my absolute fave with her wings and powers. Hope they won't blackwash She-Ra.
DeleteI hope not, too. I would imagine a lot of backlash, even more when they tried to do it with Little Mermaid, if they change She-ra. I mean, she is He-Man's sister, so unless papa was foolin around, audiences aren't going to buy it.
DeleteThere is no logic in today's casting, so everything can go over there in their crazy minds.
