Warner Bros. and Mattel Split on He-Man

Mattel and Warner Bros. have parted ways on the making of He-Man. Hope is not to be lost here as Variety announced that Mattel will go shopping for other studios.

This does not mean that the aforementioned won't be talking anymore. In fact, they both will continue to work on the Hot Wheels movie. Yes you read correctly, a Hot Wheels movie is currently in development and Silver is also in the mix as producer.

I really have to disagree with Warner Bros. and Mattel for dropping He-Man instead of Hot Wheels. Let's be honest here. A movie based on a line of little cars does not seem promising at all. If anyone over at Mattel or the WB is reading this, I say, drop Hot Wheels and carry on with He-Man.
