“ThunderCats”, the 130-episode, 1985 cartoon series will be adapted into a live-action sword ‘n sorcery feature, to be directed by Adam Wingard (“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”):
“…’ThunderCats’ follows the adventures of a team of heroic, cat-like humanoid aliens on a planet called ‘Third Earth’. The series plot begins with the dying planet ‘Thundera’ meeting its end, forcing the ThunderCats to flee their homeworld…”
"My version is going to be 100% the ’80’s version”, said Wingard about the new film.
"When I was in high school, I was so into ‘Thundercats’ that I wrote this 270-something-page screenplay, like hand-written screenplay on it. It was my biggest dream growing up, to make a Thundercat’s movie, and so, here I am with the ability to actually do that. I’m still kind of fulfilling that dream."
“I’d want to bring to life the exact designs from the ’80s version. I want the looks of them; I don’t want it to be like, okay, it’s the movie, so you got to make them look more realistic somehow.
“It’s like No, no, no, no. I want to bring the cartoon and toys to life. I want to see the exact costumes and everything."
