News and gossip surrounding the upcoming Thundercats The Movie

Thundercats The Movie Out 2010!

July 24th, 2007 by clare

Thundercats is on its way to the big screen……at last!  Warner Brothers are turning the 80’s animated series and toy line into a movie from a script written by Paul Sopocy, first-time screenwriter. 

Spring Creek Pictures are set to produce the movie. Dan Lin, Senior Vice President of Production at Warner Brothers, will produce along with Paula Weinstein, Dick Robertson and Lew Korman.

Despite initial news stories, the movie is going to be a CGI-animated feature and not a live action movie.  The movie is set to be released in 2010.  I have been waiting years for this movie, I really do hope that it is worth the wait!

    You have got to be kidding me? Are they actually going to be using the original actors/actresses to do the voices? Seing as Rob McFadden & Earl Hammond are no longer with us?

    I wonder what Larry Kenney would say to this?

  2. clare Says:

    There’s been no news yet on who will be doing the voices for the new movie, however, I know that Larry would love to portray Lion-O again.

    I know that Rob McFadden and Earl Hammond are no longer with us, nobody else will ever compare to these legends.

  5. Make it a movie Says:

    You are making a big mistake by not making Thunder Cats an actually movie

  7. clare Says:

    That’s brill! Can you post a picture of it up here?!

  8. Horatio Says:

    I had a 30 minute interview with Larry Kenney back in 2005. He is truly an awesome guy, (Got a signed picture and signed comic books off him :P) I’ve also spoke to Peter Newman, and Lynne Lipton.

    Claire, you seem pretty convinced there is a movie coming to the big screen, but where and whn did you hear this information?? Do you have evidence of this? I’m sure a lot of people would like to know…

  9. clare Says:

    I’m very impressed that you’ve interviewed Larry Kenney and spoken with the others too. I’ve had conversations with Larry but only via e-mail. He seems like such a nice guy.

    I first read about the movie on the Variety website…

    Variety.com - Warner purrs for Thundercats

    I have read about it elsewhere too, e.g. the Internet Movie Database…

    Thundercats (2010)

    It doesn’t give much away there I have to admit but it’s a reliable source and the fact that it’s listed there as an upcoming movie gives me confidence that this movie is on the horizon.

    Also, when I conversed with Larry he seemed to be confident that Thundercats The Movie was hitting the big screen in 2010 too.

    Will the movie be cartoons, or with real people like transformers?

  11. clare Says:

    It is going to be a CGI-animated movie like Shrek and Toy Story, not live-action like Transformers.

  12. Oscar Says:

    An actual movie would be way too awesome. Transformer was a real kick a**. Thundercats could be way better

  13. Totono Says:

    This can be a great movie, I hope it is. I think that CG is a good idea for this movie because of all the stunts and amazing jumps, effects, creatures, vehicles, etc. If it was live action it would still use a lot of CGI in almost every scene, so making it completely CG sounds logical. It’s a lot of less work (and less risk) than it is to match virtual stuff to real life actors

  14. Mat Staader Says:

    I don’t know the actors name, but i think the guy who played a werewolf named Raze would be perfect for the voice of Panthro, especially if they are going for a darker feel for the movie. He has a natural growling rumble in his speaking voice

  15. Carlos Says:

    I think comparing it to Shrek or Toy Story is ridiculous. Better say, it’ll be a CG movie like Beowulf. I’m sure it won’t be cartoonish but realistic. Mumm-ra can be so dirty, creepy and evil. We saw how horrible Grendel was in Beowulf, I’m sure Mumm-ra will kick ass.

  16. leanne Says:

    I’m so excited that they will be coming out with the movie i heard about it online as well. There is more proof that it’s coming out because they have Jerry O’Flaherty-from Gears of War-to direct it. Also he spoke about the movie quite briefly when interviewed for GoW mainly because it was too early in the project to say much.

  17. samson Says:

    Oh my GOD!!! I’ve waited 15 years(my whole life) for a Thundercats movie. When it comes out in the theaters, I guarantee I’m gonna be the first one to see it in my neighborhood.

    -Rock On-

  18. PUERTORRICAN THUNDERIAN Says:

  19. thundercats! Ho! Says:

    When it comes out. Ima gonna call dat day THUNDERDAY!

  20. Anthony Says:

    I LOVE Thundercats, growing up watching GI Joe, Transformers, M.A.S.K, Voltrone,and Thundercats, I couldn’t wait to see Transformers I was pleased with the way it turned out. I would like them to make a Thundercat movie on the big screen. I think the 80’s generation has a lot to offer from our comics and cartoons. I can’t wait for Transformers 2. Keep-um coming.

  21. Matt Ayres Says:
