“…’ThunderCats’ follows the adventures of a team of heroic, cat-like humanoid aliens on a planet called ‘Third Earth’.
“The original TV 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 “ThunderCats’ 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 ’80’s 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."
