Thundercats Movie
April 21st 2008 00:04
Big hair and hirsute chests are coming back in fashion - even for women.
Warner Bros. has hired videogame veteran Jerry O'Flaherty to helm their forthcoming big-screen CG-animated adaptation of Thundercats.
O'Flaherty will tweak the script with screenwriter Paul Sopocy. He says his film will remain faithful to the original franchise.
The script is described as an origin story expanding on the major heroes and villains from the animated series, with the plot focusing on Lion-O coming of age as the leader of the Thundercats.
It will be a disappointment to some, as they previously stated that they were planning to create a live action movie on the cult cartoon series. After the lukewarm reception of the TMNT CG movie, this will have to be impressive.
The news comes just weeks after it was announced the studio was also finally moving ahead with a live-action adaptation of other 80's cartoon smash "He-Man" (Masters of the Universe 2009) – more on that later...

Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats, Ho!
