Joel Silver will be developing the project for Warner Brothers rather than formerly rumored Legendary Pictures.  This comes as good news to fans, whose hopes were dashed (well, surely someone's hopes were dashed ... ) by the earlier denial by Legendary.  The better news: Brad Pitt has denied repeatedly that he has any interest in the title role of a "Masters of the Universe" project.

Justin Marks is a popular guy in fandom circles these days.  Not only is he hard at work on a Voltron script for the big-screen, he's also the pen behind "Supermax," the "Green Arrow goes to prison (fandom starts making Oz jokes)" film.

What's your dream cast for a MotU flick?
