Thundercats
Warner Bros has begun to take the necessary steps by picking up scribe Paul Sopocy to help get a live action Thundercats adaptation in the works.
Live Action Thundercats
Thundercats revolves around a group of humanoid cats (with feline names like Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro and Cheetara) who must flee their planet of Thundera after it's destroyed. Once crash-landing on another planet, Third Earth, they must thwart Mumm-Ra, an evil sorcerer, bent on killing them off.
Sounds crazy, I know.
Paul Sopocy's script expands on the characters while focusing on Lion-O coming of age as the leader of the Thundercats.
The Thundercats franchise began in 1983 and spawned several animated series, with the most recent airing on Cartoon Network, a toy line produced by LJN and comicbooks published by Marvel and DC imprints. Warner Bros. has owned the rights to the animated series since acquiring Telepictures Corp. in 1989.
Stay tuned for updates.
