LOS ANGELES, April 10 (UPI) -- Kick-Ass 2 director Jeff Wadlow has signed on to write the script for the upcoming Masters of the Universe film.
The Columbia Pictures adaptation of the 1980s Mattel franchise has floundered in development for years. Work on the movie began in 2009, but production has suffered a series of setbacks since. Jon M. Chu (G.I. Joe Retaliation) was previously attached to direct but he left the project in 2013.
