I am going to go out on a limb here and say that this could potentially be awesome. If they get a good makeup artist and try to limit the CG to a minimum, I can see this working.

That says nothing of the script and directing, however. One can only hope?

6/6/2007 12:01:05 PM

i love me some thundercats animation, but the old stories and scripts were ass-tastic, so it could only get better

cg to a minimum? I doubt it

this will probably fail

6/6/2007 12:16:08 PM

Hhmmm... interesting

6/6/2007 12:22:17 PM

I totally didn't see this coming!!

I loved Thundercats, and I'll definitely watch this... but come on Hollywood, quit fucking around and make some original movies.

6/6/2007 12:26:43 PM

So who would the cast be?

Pantrho: Lawrence Fishburne? Ving Rhames?
Jaga: Sean Connery?
Mumra: Willem Dafoe?

^ what's Avery Brooks up to these days? He'd probably be able to do a good Panthro (deep cajun accent, correct build)...

6/6/2007 12:57:26 PM

Dear Hollywood,

Stop raping my childhood.

Thanks,
Mr. Joshua

6/6/2007 1:01:09 PM

I think that Djimon Hounsou would be a good Panthro

6/6/2007 1:01:35 PM

for some reason I had a flash of CATS...with weapons

6/6/2007 1:04:14 PM

I'd rather see Laser Cats the movie.

6/6/2007 1:11:43 PM

I approve of this thread.

6/6/2007 1:11:57 PM

I will only see this if I can yell,

"thunder.

Thunder!

THUNDERCATS! HOOOOO!" along with the movie.

6/6/2007 1:51:10 PM

really?

i was about to make this thread as a joke a few days ago

really?

6/6/2007 2:08:16 PM

my problem is that they keep making these movies with fucking g,pg,pg-13 ratings . if you remember the ninja turtles, thundercats, transformers ,etc. you're old enough to see splinter bleed or april o'neil's titties.

6/6/2007 2:10:12 PM

We'll see how the Transformers movie turns out. If it turns out to be decent, then there is a chance that a Thundercats movie could be good.

6/6/2007 2:32:04 PM

I'd rather see SWAT Kats the movie.

6/6/2007 3:59:45 PM

Who should be Cheetara? Any ideas?

6/6/2007 4:06:19 PM

beyonce`

6/6/2007 4:15:15 PM

The Cartoon kept me interested, but c'mon...4real? Thundercats....Next we will see M.A.S.K.


III

6/6/2007 4:24:40 PM

M.A.S.K. >>> Thundercats

6/6/2007 4:32:13 PM

I'm just your average Thundercats ho.

6/6/2007 5:05:10 PM

snarf!

6/6/2007 5:08:38 PM

I mean seriously, mumra... how lame is that in a real movie

6/6/2007 5:51:35 PM

^ That is effing hilarious.

6/6/2007 6:05:47 PM

^^ hahahahahahaha

it's like somebody taped their LARP

6/6/2007 6:06:24 PM

Strength


Honor


and...

AGILITY!??!!?

Seriously, that's what you're going to follow up with? That's your anchor?

6/6/2007 6:06:48 PM

Thundercats always seemed pretty lame to me. I mean, to have an interesting show, you want your heroes to be outmatched against the villains in some way, either in quantity (Ninja Turtles vs foot soldiers) or in quality (X-men vs the Juggernaut bitch!). The Thundercats were not only better fighters than the bad guys, but they also outnumbered them.

6/6/2007 6:13:44 PM

Oh wow that was horrible.

6/6/2007 6:15:15 PM

^^ indeed.

this movie will suck

unless someone has the balls to do it right...BUT WHAT FUCKING VILLAN WAS ACTUALLY COOL!?!??!!?

6/6/2007 7:13:01 PM

put the money from this towards making Grayson into a real movie plz plz plz

6/6/2007 7:43:15 PM

worst idea ever.

6/6/2007 7:50:06 PM

they're making a g.i. joe movie, too

6/6/2007 7:53:46 PM

I REALLY hope they make a good GI Joe movie. not some gay fantastic 4 type shit. But something like Full Metal Jacket.

6/6/2007 7:58:33 PM

well you could always watch the inspiration for the toy

6/6/2007 8:01:49 PM

so long as they have destro and baroness i'm there

smartass sailor dude too

6/6/2007 8:03:00 PM

gary busey as mumra

6/7/2007 12:56:51 AM

As long as they have

6/7/2007 1:10:27 AM

Anybody else enjoy the transformers toaster commercial ? Just noticed it today, made me laugh.

6/7/2007 2:17:35 AM

I'm gonna have to go ahead and say pass on Thundercats. Nostalgia aside, the premise for the show was really nonsense. A bunch of evolved man-cats led by a guy named Lion-ho, who possesses a phallic sword, make a living by fighting an evil mummy on a planet called 3rd Earth. Btw, was Mum-ra a cat also, or a human mummy?

If anything at all, maybe Tcats could score a hit as cgi animation, but it would really need a beefed up story.

6/7/2007 11:29:47 AM

Meh. It's about as plausible as an elite army having trouble finding and eliminating terrorists that hide out in massive temples shaped like a snake head. Why a terrorist organization that can afford to make a snake themed amusement park out of a pyramid even thinks it needs fight to acquire more assets is beyond me.

Probably because a lot of original stuff is shit. A significant number(not all) of old school ideas are still worthy.

6/7/2007 3:50:13 PM

and because Hollywood gets a leg up when they come out with a flick that has a pre-existing fan base. It makes the marketing that much easier.

6/7/2007 5:07:00 PM

So 20 years from now we can all look forward to CSI, Survivor, Deal or no Deal, etc. movies to fill the gap of movies like Starsky & Hutch, Charlie's Angels, Dukes of Hazzard, etc. and live action versions of Xiaolin Showdown, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. to fill the gap of movies like Transformers, Thundercats, etc.

6/8/2007 7:32:49 AM

20 years from now we can look forward to nuclear winter. Not a movie.

6/8/2007 2:40:22 PM

set them up ho
