ThunderCats finally has the chance to recover from its devastating 2020 failure with the live-action movie currently in pre-production. The beloved ThunderCats franchise began as a 1985 animated television show, and stole the hearts of families across the nation, eventually releasing comics, action figures, and various reboots. The science fantasy, set on Third Earth, followed catlike humanoid aliens in their fight against evil. While many of the ThunderCats franchise pursuits went well, a particular 2020 reboot was released to overwhelmingly negative reviews.

ThunderCats Roar failed to live up to fan expectations, and although reboots rarely live up to the original, ThunderCats Roar did so badly that it threatened the integrity of the franchise as a whole. Now, with Adam Wingard, director of Godzilla vs. Kong and longtime fan of ThunderCats, spearheading pre-production of the live-action movie, it seems theres still hope for the ThunderCats franchise.

ThunderCats Roar Was A Failed Attempt At Reinviting...

The 1980s classic Saturday-morning cartoon ThunderCats has been reimagined into a live-action movie in a concept trailer.

Per, Screen Rant, the trailer was posted by @stryderHD on YouTube. So far, the trailer, which imagines several notable stars as the iconic cartoon characters from the series has nearly 2.5 million views. ThunderCats was rebooted in 2011 and 2020 and has been made into comic books and video games The two-and-a-half-minute clip shows Henry Cavill as Lion-o, the main character and Lord of the ThunderCats, and Willem Dafoe as Mumm-Ra, the main antagonist of the original cartoon series. The trailer can be seen below.

Related The ThunderCats Movie Could Be Godzilla x Kong Director's Next Project Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire director Adam Wingard offers an encouraging update on his forthcoming ThunderCats movie.

The live-action ThunderCats needs to learn from the 2011 version and avoid over-committing to grand storylines. The live-action film should replicate the drama & action of 2011 series, but focus on telling a complete story. The new ThunderCats movie will likely inspired by the 1985 original show instead.

The upcoming ThunderCats movie could give the franchise the perfect chance to make up for the biggest mistake it made with its most critically acclaimed entry. Debuting in 1985, ThunderCats fit in perfectly alongside other shows of the era like He-Man. Focusing on Lion-o and his fellow ThunderCats, the show centered around their adventures on Third Earth and their battles with the evil sorcerer, Mumm-Ra. The show quickly became a favorite for kids of the era, and has inspired two very different ThunderCats reboots in the 21st century 2011's dramatic ThunderCats, and the more cartoonish 2020 series ThunderCats Roar.

There have been several attempts to make a live-action adaptation of ThunderCats,...

ThunderCats is finally getting a live-action movie, and this is exactly what the 1980s franchise needs after two failed reboots. The ThunderCats franchise has attempted to make a comeback several times since the ending of its orignial 1980s series, but these reboots just haven't worked out, with many wondering if ThunderCats will ever return to its former glory. With the announcement of a ThunderCats movie, however, it is possibly that things could finally work out, redeeming the original animated series after its recent failed reboots.

A live-action ThunderCats movie is officially in development, with this upcoming film set to bring the franchise back into the spotlight. Director Adam Wingard has promised that the upcoming film will stay true to the 1980s aesthetic while still bringing the world of ThunderCats back and to the big screen. ThunderCats may seem like an odd choice for a live-action reboot, but fans of the franchise are rejoicing,...

Despite the transition from classic animation to live-action, Adam Wingard's ThunderCats reboot will be staying as faithful as possible to the classic cartoon show from the 1980s.

It was previously reported that Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire director Adam Wingard would be helming a live-action adaptation of ThunderCats. In a new interview with Screen Rant, the filmmaker commented on the vision he has planned for the movie. He confirmed that his goal is to make the film look like the 80s cartoon brought to life, which means using the exact same costumes without any concern about what's more "realistic" in a live-action world.

Thundercats is a property that might seem obscure to a lot of people today, given that it only had a short-lived revival in 2011 before the show was turned into something like Teen Titans Go in the form of Thundercats Roar. However, for those who remember the original 80’s animated series, or even its 2011 revival, Thundercats holds a special place in their heart. And now, it seems a Thundercats live-action film might finally see the light of day.

"We finished our last draft basically right when I was going into production on this movie [Godzilla x Kong] and we just had to put everything on hold. [But] right now we’re actively working on it again. So whether that means that’s the next thing I do or [not], I’m not sure. But it’s definitely one of the top priorities I have right now in terms of working on a script."

ThunderCats Roar, the 2020 adaptation of the franchise, received overwhelmingly negative reactions from fans, and its cancellation after less than a year confirms its failure to capture the essence of the original series. The 2011-2012 reboot of ThunderCats garnered praise for its darker and edgier tone, sleek animation, and captivating storylines that appealed to both new fans and loyal followers of the franchise. The original ThunderCats series, which aired from 1985 to 1989, remains the best and most iconic installment in the franchise, with memorable characters, fantastic storytelling, and a catchy theme song that continues to captivate audiences today.

ThunderCats is an iconic media franchise that has spawned three animated series that vary wildly in quality. The original, launched in 1985, introduced audiences worldwide to the eponymous heroic team of humanoid felines, led by the noble Lion-o, and their fight against the evil undead sorcerer Mumm-Ra and his band of mutants.

Once relegated to the status of 1980s nostalgia, the Masters of the Universe brand is currently experiencing a bit of a revival. There's the Netflix series Masters of the Universe: Revelation and its upcoming sequel Masters of the Universe: Revolution, plus a CGI animated series for a new generation. It goes to show how easy it is to bring back a franchise that had been dead, and the same needs to be applied to another classic series.

ThunderCats was one of the last major 1980s cartoon franchises to hit it big, and it's mostly remained defined by that series. Since then, there have been only two attempts to revive it, one of which was particularly controversial. In order to give the Cats their due, care must be taken to respect the source material, all while potentially returning to a short-lived classic from over a decade ago.

Masters of The Universe: Revelation has arrived on Netflix and the Rotten Tomatoes verdict is such a polar opposite affair that it is almost like He-Man and Skeletor themselves. In an unheard of occurrence, it is the critics that have been leaving a glowing series of reviews to the tune of a 97% approval rating, while an absolute onslaught of bad audience reviews has left the show with an almost knock-out blow of 42%, seemingly coming mostly from fans of the original '80s cartoon. What could possibly have caused such a backlash on what appeared to be the great continuation of the He-Man story from a man who seemed to be well on board with what fans expected? In a word: Teela.

Now, we have at least one big name being thrown about in the form of Ryan Reynolds.

Before diving in, we must caution that this is just a rumor for the time being. Nothing more. It should not be taken as gospel and is merely something worth discussing. That being said, industry insider Daniel Richtman, who has proved to have an incredibly reliable track record, took to Patreon to state that the Deadpool and Detective Pikachu star is being eyed for a possible role.

ThunderCats are on the mov(i)e! After years of false starts and announcements that didn’t go anywhere, it seems that the beloved ‘80s cartoon has a giant sized champion behind it. Adam Wingard, director of Godzilla vs. Kong, is working on a ThunderCats film that will be a hybrid live action/CGI movie. Wingard will direct the ThunderCats movie and co-write the script with Simon Barrett.

This raises a lot of questions about the film, especially considering the recent flux in ThunderCats media. The original ThunderCats was about as perfect an example of ‘80s action adventure cartoon series can be and the early 2010s reboot series took a mostly serious approach to the franchise with a more deeply layered story. Then in 2020 ThunderCats Roar was a huge departure, featuring a much more comedic tone and style than the previous series.

The versatility of Thundercats makes us wonder what...

Thundercats are on the move, again.

“Godzilla vs. Kong” director Adam Wingard is attached to helm a computer-animated adaptation of the beloved 1980s Rankin Bass animated series “Thundercats” for Warner Bros., from a script Wingard will write with frequent collaborator Simon Barrett. Dan Lin of Rideback and Roy Lee of Vertigo, who produced Wingard’s film “Death Note,” were already attached to produce the film with a script by David Coggeshall when Wingard signed on, but Wingard and Barrett are starting fresh.

The original series, which aired from 1985 to 1989, was revived for a single season Cartoon Network in 2011, and then again in 2020 under the title “Thundercats Roar.” But as a feature film, “Thundercats” has been a tricky project to crack for the studio, which has hired a small parade of screenwriters and producers since at least 2007 to bring a movie to life. The underlying story is at once relatively simple...

The 1980's action-fantasy series, Thundercats, remains a firm nostalgic favorite for many, particularly thanks to the explosive theme tune. While the series has never been adapted for the big screen, there was once talk of a CGI movie being in the works. Though that sadly never came to fruition, one diehard fan of the show has put their skills to good use and transformed the iconic Thundercats opening credits into glorious 3D animation.

Set to the theme song of the show, the video captures every action-packed moment of the show's original opening credits sequence, including each character introduction, as well as the closing battle between the Thundercats' heroic leader Lion-o and the villainous Mumm-Ra. "Earlier this year, I thought I'd have a go at learning how to use 3D animation software, really just so I could do some simple effects in my films," Booth stated in the description of the video.

James Wan will produce an Aquaman: King of Atlantis animated series for HBO Max.

James Wan will return to the DC Universe a little sooner than expected. Wan will executive produce Aquaman: King of Atlantis, a three episode animated series for HBO Max with Warner Bros. Animation. Very few details are available at the moment but HBO says that "each of the standalone episodes will have a unique storyline following the adventures of Aquaman as protector of the deep." It sounds like this is an all-ages affair, and that's perfectly in keeping with the nutso underwater fairytale tone of Wan's billion dollar grossing 2018 Aquaman movie.

The series appears to pick up right after the end of that movie left off, although it's probably not strictly in continuity with it. Here's the official synopsis:

"The series begins with Aquaman's first day on the job as king of Atlantis...

HBO Max has ordered a three-part animated miniseries, “Aquaman: King of Atlantis,” to be executive produced by James Wan for his Atomic Monster production company.

Wan directed 2018’s “Aquaman” live-action film, which starred Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson and Nicole Kidman. He’s also attached to direct the big-screen sequel, which is slated for release in December 2022.

The new series is based on the DC character created by Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris. Each standalone episode will have a discrete storyline following the adventures of Aquaman, protector of the deep.
