    They are hopping to the fetish of making overblown action films based on TV cartoons in the 80's that were only made to sell toys. 8-)

    HE-MAN - Kevin Sorbo (Hercules)
    I think Sorbo would make a wonderful He-Man. :D I enjoyed the toys, and one of my greatest cinematic experiences as a kid was seeing the original Masters of the Universe with Dolph Lundgren. If this film happens, and it's well cast and looks good, I will almost certainly end up seeing it. :D

And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. and then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory." Death of a Salesman

    Costs of hiring the actors for my He-Man film

    Kevin Sorbo - £500k +another £500k if film is success and first refusal for future He-Man films
    Christopher Walken - £3m, or Dwight Schultz - £300k
    Tom Selleck - £500k
    Michelle Ryan - £350k
    Mark Hamill - £600k, or Timothy Dalton - £350k
    Willem DaFoe - £1m, or Dirk Benedict- £300k
    Robert Patrick - £400k
    Verne Troyer- £450k
    Kevin Bacon - £1m
    Brian Blessed - £500k
    Lucy Lawless - £400k
    Ken Brannagh - £500k
    Sammo Bo - £400k
    David&Tony Meyer - £200k each
    Ben Kingsley - £1m, or Tom Hardy - £450k
    Tim McInnery - £500k
    Tia Carrere - £850k
    Frank LeGalan - £200k + 3% of film income
    Lou Ferrigno - £200k + free gym membership

    total cost (with expensive actors) £12m (est.)

    A notable inclusion in the film would be the inclusion of the sound effects added afterwards by kevin Sorbo.

    Music - by Brian May (Queen), in the title credits; George Michael during the film; and Ronan Keating for the end credits.
