New Writer for Grayskull: There was an old writer?

Honestly, I had no idea that another He-Man movie was even in the works. But it appears that Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures are developing a new adaptation, titled 'Grayskull' at this point. After winning a writing contest, Evan Daugherty, a relative newcomer to the writing scene, has been tapped to pen the next draft. His previous credits include an unproduced screenplay, 'Shrapnel,' and...that's it. Maybe he can work up some magic for the Masters of the Universe. However, this plot description leaves me wondering:

"Warners sees the big-screen version as a gritty fantasy and reimagines Adam as a soldier who sets off to find his destiny, happening upon the magical world of Eternia. There, Skeletor has raised a technological army and is bent on eradicating magic."

This does not sound like the He-Man I remember. In fact, Skeletor is a magical being with mystical powers and fantasy creatures as henchmen...shouldn't he be on the side of magic himself? Sounds like a ripped off version of Saruman from Lord of the Rings in a way, since he destroyed the forest and environment to create industrial forges and war machines. I'm intrigued at how this will proceed, but not too excited. Still, I'll keep my eye on more information concerning 'Grayskull.'
