Ever loved a toy? It will become a movie (I promise)January 6

Hasbro hit it big with the Transformers movie and rival Mattel is hoping to match some of that success with… He-Man:

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Set up at Warner Bros., Joel Silver is spearheading the live action version of the ’80s action figures, scripted by Justin Marks, who’s penned bigscreen versions of “Voltron,” “Green Arrow” and “Street Fighter.” It’s finalizing a deal with a director.

Hot Wheels:

Hot Wheels: Also at WB, the actioner will feature the toy line’s cars in a pic also to be produced by Silver from a script by Matt Nix (USA’s “Burn Notice”). The project was once at Sony with McG at the helm before being put into turnaround after pics like “Stealth” crashed and burned.

Barbie:

Barbie: A live action film will revolve around the iconic doll, with several filmmakers in contention to start development on the pic.

And… uh, Magic 8-Ball:

Bollywood, India’s version of Hollywood, has an awesome history of doing “remakes” of American movies, which generally share the title and very little else with the original source material. This time, Bollywood is redoing Back to the Future and it will be staring Akshay Kumar, who spends most of his time in movies with his shirt billowing off him.

Sound exactly like the original.
