Evan Daugherty Has The Power!

All you wannabe screenwriters out there, prepare to weep all over your unfinished script: newcomer Evan Daugherty has landed the plum job of writing the latest draft of Grayskull, the new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe movie.

The film's set to be directed by Kung Fu Panda's John Stevenson, and reimagines the story of Prince Adam as a "gritty fantasy". Yes, now Adam's a soldier who goes in search of his destiny (as soldiers so often do), only to happen across the land of Eternia. There, he finds the evil Skeletor in the process of raising a "technological army" and plans to eradicate magic. By the power of Grayskull, it's an even sillier plot than the original He-Man!

Justin Marks, of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li fame, wrote the last draft. Let's hope young Daugherty can make this one work.
