He-Man Fails to Master WB Universe

So that's a no-go on Warner Bros. proposed Masters of the Universe movie. WB and toymaker Mattel couldnt' see eye-to-eye on the direction of the property, so they've mutually agreed to let the option lapse. Mattel is now free to shop He-Man elsewhere. The toy company has been crankin' out deals left and right for many of it's properties, including deals for upcoming films like Hot Wheels, Major Matt Nelson, and Max Steel.

And all of those movies sound horrible. Honestly, this kinda sucks not because I'm missing my chance for a live-action Orko sighting, but because whoever's rockin' Teela's outfit has got to be crazy hot. Rachel Nichols hot. This film will get made eventually, but I wouldn't expect it before 2012 at this point.
