Thundercats the Movie! Ho!

Warner Brothers is going ahead with an animated feature film of the classic 1980's Saturday morning cartoon show: Thundercats


The film will be an origin story with our hero Lion-O (Yep, that's his name) who is the leader of the a group of humanoid cats who leave their planet Thundera, which is destroyed shortly after. The Thundercats crash land on the planet Third Earth (Yep, that is the name of the planet) and they battle against Mumm-Ra (Yep, that's the name of the villain) who is an evil sorcerer that wants to kill the Thundercats.


Thundercats will be directed by a first time filmmaker Jerry O'Flaherty who has experience making videogames. He was the art director for "Gears of War" and "Unreal Tournament 3". At least the game tie-in might not suck.
