"Masters of the Universe" Film in Development (Again)

^ Crossover material right there!

Mattel actually owns the rights, but doesn't do anything with it because they also have the toy licence for the Jurassic Park/World franchise and they don't want to do two Dinosaur toylines ultimately competing with each other.

Ahhh.. .of course, I should've known, or perhaps I did and my shitty memory failed me yet again. Makes perfect sense...but it's still a damn shame.

Personally, I think they should instead get Universal to give the Jurassic franchise a rest and use time to do a Dino Riders adaptation with Mattel, who then can obviously do the accompanying toyline.

Yeah, but they'll never do that. Jurassic Park/World has been a well-known entity for 30 plus years. Why would they drop that golden goose for a little known 80s property that only people who grew up then remembers?

Or do that!

Maybe if Rebirth had bombed, then they might consider it. But, yeah, there is little chance for it now.

Indeed, which rather begs the question; why even bother? Just fully commit to it being a fantasy movie and be done with it, I say!

He was apparently sent to Earth as a kid, so I'm thinking this is so he's unfamiliar with what's going on Eternia and they have an easy excuse to explain to the audience what's going on. And probably so they can work in modern cultural references.
