Nice treatment, webz. If Hollywood is able to get anywhere close to that, I'll be happy. That, and them staying the hell away from Earth.

No problem.

Your choices for Evil Lyn are too old to go up against Nichols as Teela. Besides, as a dark, brooding witch... Rooney convinced me she can do pure evil! Imagine the climatic fight of Martial artist Teela against the wizardry of Evil Lyn.. and at some point, Teela manages to pull off some magical counterattack... surprising herself, Evil Lyn, and be a nice wink to the audience who know Teela's origins.

But Evil Lyn is supposed to be older and more experienced. She's always been portrayed that way (except for maybe the 87 film). Besides, Catherine doesn't look that old to me:

Beastman would be more main-henchman, so would need a higher caliber actor. Look at Perlman's job in the craptastic Conan reboot. He has a rugged, bestial nature that would fit the role of Beast Man perfectly.

Perlman has always done well in roles that required extensive makeup (Hellboy, for example). But I think he's perfect for Beast Man due to his role on Beauty and the Beast TV series (1987-1990, with Linda Hamilton).

Serkis would give a creepy, slithery nature to MerMan, and made a convincing enough performance in King Kong that I think he could do the gargling one justice.

I'd be fine with Serkis or Brad Dourif for Merman. Dourif killed it as Wormtongue in the LOTR films

How often does Duncan fight hand-to-hand anyway? he's always using some laser or device... He's more of a General rather than foot soldier. Everything about Selleck works, even more today. Most important is the fatherly vibe Selleck would bring to the role. Not only to Teela, but to He-Man, too, for even tho Randor is Adam's father, he relies more on M-A-A for advice than his own father.

Don't write off the old guys... watch Expendables... most of 'em are aging action stars from the 80s and 90s and still have what it takes to kick butt realistically in cinema.

Agreed.
