Moment of silence, all.
The in-production Greyskull: The Masters of the Universe film that would redeem our childhoods appears to be in production hell according to the guys from Latino Review:

The studio gave the execs at Silver Pictures a very small list of A-director names they would consider making the film with, amongst them Doug Liman and Bryan Singer who both passed.
There were some up and coming directors that were gung ho on the script, but the studio wasn’t feeling them.

Another reason and perhaps the biggest was that Navid McIIhargey, the exec who brought in He-Man to Silver Pictures, left the company last month to become a Senior VP at New Regency as reported last month in both trades.

Sources tell me Navid and another exec (who also left Silver) – guys in their thirties who grew up on the property - were the unsung heroes of He-Man and are no longer there doing the day to day to get He-Man over the mountain and get the movie made.

In the Hollywood business culture, once an exec leaves, usually his projects are killed by the new incoming exec.

In honor of it, we read back over /Film’s reasons why such a film would rock, but it just didn’t do any good. The image of Brett Ratner Conan has thoroughly invaded our heads. We want out of all things to do with loin cloths, swords, muscles and Chris Tucker.
