Sony Pictures has roped in directing duo of Aaron and Adam Nee to helm the He-Man movie "Masters of the Universe".
The film will be based on the popular Mattel toyline, which spawned a successful animated TV series (1983-85) as well as a 1987 film, reported Variety.
Dolph Lundgren starred in the original pic as the title character, while Frank Langella played the antagonist Skeletor.
The story focuses on the warrior He-Man, the last and only hope of a magical land called Eternia.
The film is written by David Goyer, who is also an executive producer.
Escape Artists' Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch will produce with DeVon Franklin.
Sony has already set the movie for 2019 release, with executive producer Matt Milam overseeing it for the studio.
