Article excerpt

Masters of the Universe took nearly 18 years to reach theaters, a journey that producer Jason Blumenthal captured in stark terms: "My 22-year-old daughter just graduated college and my 18-year-old film is about to open Friday."

Blumenthal and his colleagues discuss the obstacles and persistence required to bring the He-Man franchise to the big screen, reflecting on one of Hollywood's most protracted development cycles.
