Canceled Films (Part 1)

He-Man 2

Back in the 80's, after the success of the first He-Man film (Masters of the Universe) a big budget sequel was planned. It was going to be shot back to back with a brand new Spider-Man movie, the only problem was that the huge budget was already running out. To make a bit of extra cash to help fuel both projects the director (Albert Pyun) quickly wrote the screenplay to the film 'Cyborg' over a weekend, with the awesome Chuck Norris penned in for the lead. Unfortunately Chuck was under contract with another studio so newcomer Jean-Claude Van Damme was cast in his place. Cyborg was a huge failure and resulted in both the He-Man sequel and Spider-Man movie being canceled. It was probably for the best in the long run although I'd love to see a Chuck Norris version of 'Cyborg'!

Coincidentally, the film Cyborg has been known as 'Masters of the Universe II: The Cyborg' on American TV!

New He-Man Movie

I've heard a rumour, not sure how reliable the source is but a new He-Man movie is apparently on the cards, to be shot in a style very similar to the film '300'.

Could be very cool if its true!
