![]() Fiennes is concerned, he pulled off He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named so well that I’m convinced he could pull off this role without breaking a sweat. Zachary has an un-tapped talent that would couple well with managing a character that is depicted as a child trapped within a warrior/leader role. Maybe I would go with Zachary Quinto for Lion-O and Ralph Fiennes as Mumm-Ra. If I were to pick just a few, say the hero and villain, it’d be a tough choice. Some of them are actually pretty well thought out. There are plenty of threads and forums where you can find casting lists put together by devoted admirers of the show. Regardless, I know that the fans out there want to see this movie happen. Maybe the failure of the reboot series in 2011 through Cartoon Network tainted the studio execs from wanting to tread into the realm of Third Earth. Plenty of fan boys, like myself, still packed the cinemas and helped make sure that films that otherwise had no business making money, did. So why the live action film snuff? Surely production studios see the merit with a movie like this right? I mean look how awful Transformers 2 and G.I. ![]() There, I did your Google searching work for you After watching the speculative two minute clip, I’d dare say that we’re fortunate this never got any further than it did. (yeah, I just looked it up – Jerry O’Flaherty art director of games such as Unreal Championship and Gears of War) If you do a simple Google search you will find said concept art along with what looks to be a CGI test video on YouTube of Lion-O battling Slithe. From what I can remember there was a script already in play that had a video game art director in line to direct it. In 2009 there was quite a bit of buzz created at Comic-Con when images of concept art for a Thundercats movie surfaced. Is there a reason that a Thundercats film has not been given the green light? Joe all of which have had live action movies. We had TMNT, He-Man, Transformers, and G.I. Awesome intro songs, awesome animation, awesome toys … everything was just AWESOME. Something about the 80’s era of cartoons was epic in every sense of the word. With my action figures in hand I’d yell right along with Lion-O at the top of my lungs … Thunder, Thunder, Thunder … Thundercats – HOOOOOOOOOO! Saturday morning was never complete without watching Lion-O and my favorite humanoid feline heroes take on Mumm-Ra and his horde of mutant subjects. I’d wager I’m not the only kid who grew up in the 80’s/90’s who has been waiting for what seems like eternity for a live action Thundercats movie.
