Speaking of Spider-Verse, Sony Pictures Animation is developing a movie about a K-Pop group who also happen to be demon hunters. A more comedic take on the franchise called ThunderCats Roar debuted last year.Īnimated Hollywood films that aren't lighthearted CG adventures are rare, but hopefully they're coming back with films like ThunderCats and the sequel to Into the Spider-Verse. In 2011, ThunderCats was rebooted with a new show, which was unfortunately cancelled after just one season. Across four seasons, the ThunderCats battle Mumm-ra, who is the Skeletor of the series, and his evil forces. The team's leader and most iconic member, Lion-O, wields the Sword of Omens.
In the first episode of the original show, the team escapes their dying homeworld and arrives on a planet called Third Earth. ThunderCats was one of the iconic properties of the '80s. Wingard will rewrite an old script for the film with collaborator Simon Barret. If everything goes well, all of us ThunderCats fans should hopefully be in for a treat. It's also encouraging that Wingard is set on keeping the characters' original designs intact. Being a fan doesn't necessarily mean the film's take will be great, but it's certainly good to see the property being handled by someone who knows the franchise. Wingard appears to be a massive ThunderCats fan. RELATED: 15 Things You NEVER Knew About ThunderCats A hybrid CGI film that has a hyper real look and somehow bridges the gap between cartoon and CGI." I want to do a movie you’ve never seen before. I don’t want it to look like Cats, I don’t want those kinds of issues - no disrespect to that director, whom I don’t mean to throw under the bus any more than everyone else has. I don’t want to do it live action, either. I don’t want to reinvent the way they look I want them to look like ThunderCats. I want to do a ThunderCats film that takes you back to that ‘80s aesthetic. It’s got a rich mythology the characters are fantastic. I saw this as an opportunity to do a new type of fantasy sci-fi spectacle film that people have never seen before. Nobody on this planet knows or has thought as much about ThunderCats as I have. Wingard told Deadline that the film is a "dream project" for him, and that he wants to make it a movie "you've never seen before." The movie will be a hybrid project encompassing both CGI and animation. Now, Wingard has also been tapped to direct a theatrical adaption of ThunderCats at Warner Bros (via Deadline). Wingard is also directing a sequel to Face/Off, the wild '90s action movie that starred Nicolas Cage and John Travolta. The news comes fresh off the back of the latest MonsterVerse showdown, which is set to release in the United States this week. Kong director Adam Wingard is helming a theatrical adaption of ThunderCats.
