In the realm of live-action adaptations, a name that has recently emerged to take the helm of Masters of the Universe is none other than Travis Knight. The CEO of LAIKA and a talented filmmaker in his own right, Knight is currently in early discussions to direct the long-anticipated project for Amazon MGM Studios. This exciting news has been confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, sparking speculation and anticipation among fans.
Knight will not be venturing into this venture alone, as he will be joined by Chris Butler, a collaborative partner from LAIKA, who has also worked with Knight on notable films such as 'ParaNorman' and 'Kubo and the Two Strings.' Butler has been brought on board to rework the script, which has had various iterations over the years by writers David Callaham and Aaron and Adam Nee.
