(T)He-Man Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is set to star in a remake of 'He-Man'.
The actor is wanted by Legendary Pictures - who made 'Superman Returns' - to play the Master of the Universe in a new movie version of the 80s cartoon series.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "They are very keen on Brad for the role. He will have to bulk up though - he is very fit but not to 'He-Man' proportions."
He-Man - the most powerful man in the universe - is a sword-wielding hero with superhuman powers. The original cartoon series was one of the first TV shows to inspire a range of action figures, made by Mattel.
He-Man and his heroic friends defended the world of Eternia and the secrets of Castle Greyskull from the evil powers of Skeletor.

The original 'He-Man' film hit the big screen in 1987, when Cannon films produced a live-action movie 'Masters of the Universe' starring Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren.
If Brad, 43, turns the role down, '300' actor Gerard Butler, 37, is reportedly ready to step in to play the part.
Meu Deus! Bem sei que não é cinema de culto, nem de realizador, nem artsy-fartsy mas é o recuperar dum icon, um mito da minha infância! E ser o Brad Pitt a encarnar a personagem, no less, é a cereja no topo do bolo!! Fiquei entusiasmadíssima, confesso!

O He-man, a She-ra e etc tb fazem parte do meu imaginário infantil. Mas n sei até que ponto uma recriação in live action será uma boa ideia...A ver vamos...
