'Masters of the Universe' Movie Advances with 'Bumblebee' Director Travis Knight

After decades in development limbo, the iconic 1980s franchise is set for a revival with Amazon MGM Studios nearing rights acquisition.

Travis Knight, known for directing 'Bumblebee', is in final negotiations to direct a new 'Masters of the Universe' live-action movie.
The project, which has been in development for over two decades, is gaining momentum with Amazon MGM Studios in final negotiations for the rights.
Chris Butler, a collaborator of Knight's at Laika, is set to rewrite the script, originally penned by David Callaham and Aaron & Adam Nee.
The movie aims to bring the iconic 1980s franchise, centered around Prince Adam/He-Man, to a new generation.
This reboot comes after several failed attempts and changes in production and distribution partners, including Netflix's scrapped version last year.
