Still, I can’t imagine you’re holding back on scale for “Masters of the Universe.”
Aaron: It’s going to be big, and it’s our understanding that Netflix intends for this to have a theatrical release as well.
Adam: We recognize that we are not necessarily competing with — but need to be living up to — the standard of what Marvel is doing, and what Lucasfilm is doing. “Masters” has to have the scale and scope of those, and it will. Our whole thing is just capturing the the fun of that brand, and making it fully realized. It will shoot next year.
Is Kyle Allen off somewhere gaining 80 lbs of muscle?
Adam: He’s already put on a good bit of muscle, but we’re not trying to make him into Dolph Lundgren. He is a modern man, and we’re not trying to sell Equinox memberships.
So, no Chris Pratt or Kumail Nanjiani transformations on this one?
Adam: It’ll probably be Pratt level! I would say he’ll be strong looking, but not Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Aaron: He’s building ,but we’re trying to hold onto athleticism — that is part of what’s so exciting about him. He’s an incredible athlete. He’s already been studying swordplay and martial arts, and he’s extremely good at it. We don’t want to lose that agility he’s bringing to the table.
Do you know where this will shoot?
Adam: No, we’re looking at a couple different places but one of our things is wanting to capture some of the beauty of this planet. To make it feel like this alien world, but not an entirely CGI world like “Avatar.” We want you to feel grounded in the reality of it.
