Jerry O’Flaherty to direct Thundercats The Movie!
Published on October 10, 2007 by admin · 7 CommentsWarner Bros have just announced that video game veteran Jerry O’Flaherty is set to direct the new Thundercats movie.
This will be O’Flaherty’s movie directing debut, he has previously worked as Art Director on video games Gears of War, Unreal Tournament 3 and Command and Conquer amongst other things. He’d been looking to get into the film business for a while and thought about various projects before settling on Thundercats.
“It feels like a natural thing for me to step into” he said. “Games have come so far now. The last four years of my life have been about bringing the energy of filmmaking into the video game experience.”
O’Flaherty will work on the script with screenwriter Paul Sopocy.
O’Flaherty has said that the new Thundercats movie will stay true to the original cartoon series and will tell the story of the group of humanoid cats who flee their home planet of Thundera before it is destroyed. The action will center on Lion-O who comes of age as the leader of the group as they battle with the evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra.
