The Spinner Rack

So here is some CGI footage of the Thundercats movie that was supposed to happen back in 2007. When Warner Bros. had tapped
Videogame veteran Jerry O'Flaherty to helm the studio's CGI-animated "Thundercats" feature, based on the popular '80s cartoon series, comicbook and toy line.

The project would have marked the first feature directing gig for O'Flaherty, who served as an art director on such bestselling games as "Gears of War" and "Unreal Tournament 3" for Epic Games and the "Command and Conquer" series from Westwood Studios.

So, this is kind of cool, in 2009, Movieline posted some leaked concept art of the film. As of now, the film has been put on hold, but the new TV series is scheduled to drop this year.

What do you think? I honestly have no idea how old this footage is, though. So the movie could be completely changed by the time its releases (if at all). I’ll keep my ear to the ground about any new developments. Facebook here!!!!

Official Press Release

Roaring to life through WBA and Studio4°C’s use of the Japanese animated artistry of anime, “ThunderCats” characters Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, Panthro, Cheetara and others will spring off the screen with realistic cat-like characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations.

The new “ThunderCats” will appeal to viewers who have loved the characters all their lives as well as young newcomers to the franchise. A sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting ferocious battles with the highest of stakes, the grand origin story of Prince Lion-O’s ascension to the throne – and of those who would thwart his destiny at any cost – takes on epic dimensions in this sharp new telling. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode.

“ThunderCats” is executive produced by Sam Register (“Teen Titans,” “Ben 10,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”). Michael Jelenic (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” “Wonder Woman”) and Ethan Spaulding (“Avatar: The Last Airbender”) are the producers.
