Gallery: 5 TV Shows From the '80s That Should Get Rebooted After the He-Man Movie
01she-ra-2
Word came through Tuesday that a *Masters of the Universe* live-action film is in the works. And while the idea of a He-Man movie is interesting enough, what's even more tantalizing is that the director [reportedly in talks to do the film](http://www.deadline.com/2012/07/jon-m-chu-in-masters-of-the-universe-talks/) is Jon M. Chu – the man behind next summer's awesome-looking *[G.I. Joe: Retaliation](http://www.gijoemovie.com/)*. Since two movies practically makes a trend, what are the chances a studio might let Chu – whose [previous film credits](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0160840/) include two films in the *Step Up* franchise and *Justin Bieber: Never Say Never* – reboot another 1980s franchise? Pretty good, maybe! Granted, a lot of the territory has already been covered (sometimes with not-so-great results). But Chu seems to be a nerd at heart and capable of making cinematic spectacles. What could Chu do that hasn't already been done? Click through the list above to see a few '80s properties that could be given the reboot treatment. __Above:__ *She-Ra: Princess of Power* --------------------------- This is the natural sequel to any He-Man movie, and it boasts a built-in audience: There's already a [Facebook page of fans](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Make-She-Ra-Princess-of-Power-The-Movie-/111410908892286) who want to see it happen. Now that [Katniss Everdeen has proven](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/underwire/2012/03/katniss-everdeen-hollywood-heroines/) the box office strength of heroines, this film could have a shot at awesomeness.
02voltron-2
*Voltron* --------- Now that Michael Bay has had his way with *Transformers* for a few years, perhaps it's time to move on to some other robot shape-shifters. There is (allegedly) [a *Voltron* film in the works](http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/07/21/voltron-movie/), but it doesn't appear to have a director. Hey, we might know a guy.
03jem-2
*Jem and the Holograms* ----------------------- This would be a natural film for Chu to make – he's had heavy musical influences in almost every film he's done (dude knows how to film a dance number, just saying). All a studio would have to do is recast pretty much everyone who played in [*The Runaways*](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1017451/)' band and throw in Ellen Page and/or Chloë Grace Moretz, and boom! Truly outrageous.
04thundercats-2
*ThunderCats* ------------- There has been talk of a *ThunderCats* movie for, like, ever. And, as of right now, its current [release date on IMDB](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1047015/) is a string of question marks. The new animated series is cool and all, but a live-action, feature-length version – even if it's mostly CGI – has the potential to be epic. Right?
05care-bears
*Care Bears* ------------ This one might be a stretch, but if *Care Bears* got reimagined as some crazy [crackfic](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=crackfic) where some drug cartel uses the bears for smuggling – you know, like those coke dolls in [*Traffic*](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181865/) -- we'd totally watch it.
