According to The Hollywood Reporter, a documentary about the entire He-Man brand will make its North American debut thanks to High Octane Pictures.
The film, titled Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, was directed by Randall Lobb (Turtle Power: The Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Robert McCallum (Nintendo Quest: The Most Unofficial and Unauthorized Nintendo Documentary Ever!).

“The Masters of the Universe brand is bigger than ever – as this very solid documentary reminds us – and we’re excited for North American audiences to see it,” Galen Christy, High Octane president, told THR. “This is both an insightful and very entertaining film that’ll appeal to fans and non-fans of Masters.”
The documentary includes in-depth interviews with artists, actors, and fans. Even Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella make appearances to talk about their roles in the live-action (and very poorly received) Masters of the Universe movie from 1987; Lundgren played He-Man and Langella played Skeletor.
High Octane will also be in charge of courting foreign buyers at the European Film Market, which kicks off today in Berlin and runs through February 15.
