about that thundercats movie with a new director
looks like Lion-O's gonna have Jerry O'Flaherty telling him where to point his Sword Of Omens and i find myself breathing a sigh of relief that the upcoming new THUNDERCATS big screen movie is going to be in CG-animation (as opposed to "live-action" - altho a LOTR-styled epic would be truly brill, IMHO):Video game veteran Jerry O'Flaherty will direct Warner Bros.' CG-animated Thundercats feature, based on the popular '80s cartoon series, comic book and toy line.
The project marks the first feature directing gig for O'Flaherty, who served as an art director on such bestselling games as "Gears of War" and "Unreal Tournament 3" for Epic Games and the "Command and Conquer" series from Westwood Studios.
The origin story expands on the major heroes and villains from the animated series, with the plot focusing on Lion-O coming of age as the leader of the Thundercats. The property revolves around a group of humanoid cats who must flee the planet of Thundera, which is destroyed. Once crash-landing on another planet, Third Earth, they must thwart Mumm-Ra, an evil sorcerer bent on killing them off. [read more via SHH]
