Thun-der, Thun-der, Thun-der, THUNDERCATS!!
Merrick here...
The wave of insanity currently sweeping through Warner Bros continues with news that a script by Paul Sopocy has been optioned...with an eye towards bringing us a CGI THUNDERCATS movie! I used to love this show's kinetic title sequence:
Although, I never understood why Lion-O was calling the rest of the Thundercats "hos". Abusive bastard. Warner's closet of animated/comic-to-live action projects is quickly assuming Imelda Marcos proportions -- with TEEN TITANS, WONDER WOMAN, THE DARK KNIGHT, a SUPERMAN sequel, JUSTICE LEAGUE, HE MAN, SUPER MAX (a Green Arrow movie)and whatever else I'm forgetting already in the mix. If we're lucky, perhaps the animatronic (?) Snarf will be voiced by Bernie Mac. That would be grand.
Sopocy has written the script as an origin story expanding 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.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety! Check out the "lost" intro for the series:
Oh! Maybe the theme song will be re-imagined as an angry rap of some sort? Can't you hear it?

n'ohhhhhhhhhhh

Does anybody really want this? I loved the show as a kid, but isn't this going to far? Are we going to get Brave-Starr: The Movie and a Silverhawks feature as well? How about MASK? Hell, let's remake every marginal 80's cartoon into a movie.
-
Thus, the next step is G.I. Joe, and Smurfs. Imagine, Pixar makes Smurfs, and we all go to see it on shrooms. it'd be the greatest movie experience since Phoebe Cates opened her bikini.
-
I remember this well. While my friends were watching "She-Ra", I used to drool over Lion-O. She-Ra only had that panzy guy with the heart on his chest.
-
Pre voyage Thundercats is definatly an interesting premise, and hopefully ends with their first run in with Mum-ra and the mutants. Let's see how this shapes up.
-
Paul Walker as Lion-o, Clive Owen as Tygra, Samuel L. Jackson as Panthro, Jessica Beil as Cheetra, Dakota Fanning as the female twin, some up and coming young bastard as the male, and the voice of Paul Giamatti as Snarf. With Luiz Guzman as Mum-ra and Vin Deisel as Mum-Ra hulked out.
-
A Thundercats movie?? Give me a break. What's next, a Dangermouse movie? Captain Planet? Actually, that would be cool... and never more relevant! GO PLANET!
-
Ha..I didn't even see you post that.
-
I called this in the He-Man talkback! someone hire me
-
Isn't Marvel optioning every book they publish to be churned into a movie?
-
... give me the power to transform this decayed form into Mumra the ever livinggggg ha ha ha ha ha ha ah...bitches.
-
Cats
-
...damn that's all I can remember.
-
Wesley Snipes. Period.
-
ahh shit fucking thundercats!!! Curious to see how theyd do this... i just hope it has nothing to do with earth Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!
-
you know it to be true.
-
this movie will be some cool lord of the rings/ fith element hybrid if they stick to the cartoons story.
-
Will it involve Shia LaBeuof and a cat? F*cking?
-
i cant think of voltron ever being more than a power rangers movie..just cant picture it at all..thats shits gonna take some genius writing.
-
The 80's produced some of the best in pop culture. Everything we see today pretty much was done in the 80's. Example: Power Rangers = Voltron.
-
... should play Lion-O and then go fuck himself.
-
I could always picture transformers being something cool if it were done live action ..even way before they announced the M bay movie...but Voltron?.. i cant think anything more than blocky looking cat robots connecting together to form a giant turd cat-man robot thing. I cant even remember what voltron's villains were.Wasnt there like a space ship version of voltron?? Where these little space ships would connect to form a big turd spaceship-man turd?
-
I would like to see that in live action!
-
Lion o should be played by Fred Willard!!! he looked almost exactly like Lion O in Epic movie!.. even though he was playing Aslo from Narnia
-
How about a CGI Smurfs instead? I'd actually go see that. Not this garbage.
-
I always though gargamel was played by frank welker but hes not. smurfette was fucking hot though..
-
...movie, Paramount have the rights to it and it will be a trilogy that is a parody of LOTR. Don't believe me...go check it out, just type Smurfs Movie in any search engine and you'll get the story.
-
It is only a matter of time but i don't expect it to be this soon. Thundercats was one of my fav cartoon in the 80's. I hope they make it more gritty, less campy. Jessica Biel as Cheetara, Jim Caviezel as Tygra, Vin Diesel as Panthro
-
I like to think that Thundercat earth is first earth, Tolkien earth is middle earth, and then this is earth 3. No wait, forget that Maybe first earth is pre crisis, earth 2 is post crisis. And this is new earth, No wait... Now there are 52 earths. Oh forget it, wheres my tigersharks movie.
-
Like The Transformers movie, I could give a shit in a litterbox about this film...
-
... a black man. I mean come on, who other than a brotha could rock an orange lop-sided afro.
-
... Vulture Man. He's already got the nose.
-
Make it so!
-
I mean really. I watched the show when I was a kid but come on!
-
I am glad to read that I am not the only one who had the hots for Cheetarah. I always thought it was strange that I thought a cartoon character was hot, but now I realize that it is perfectly normal!
-
I am glad to read that I am not the only one who had the hots for Cheetarah. I always thought it was strange that I thought a cartoon character was hot, but now I realize that it is perfectly normal!
-
... i was shocked when i saw it, wow, Cheetara's nude!
-
looks like some sick Kawajiri style, but for a cheap 80's show. I always wondered why, with the actual CGI, no one was able to convey that kind of in-your-face feeling on live action flicks.
-
I remember always being disappointed that the show never lived up to the action-packed opening sequence. Maybe they should just do a live-action remake of the opening. I mean listen how unhinged Mum-Ra is in his brief screen time. BLAAAAAWWRRGGAHHH!! You don't kid that brand of shit-house crazy in animated villains these days.
-
Ok terrific
-
This is going to suck ass, I mean the idea is totally cool in comics and cartoons; but as a live action flick??? Get the fuck outta here!
-
So why is everybody acting surprised?
-
...Micky Rooney. That's who.
-
Really gay. They have to get the look of these characters right or forget about it. I would go for more alien/cat like appearence and less human than they were drawn in the series/comics or it will just look like a human with feline features painted on their face.
-
that's called Iron Man, coming May 2008. Middle-aged man complete with armor and moustache.
-
'bleh' to remakes. but i guess there's nothing new under the sun. could be interesting.
-
...but come on, a live action version would suck a gorilla's plums clean off its body. Why not just make a huge fuck off animated extravaganza, and get Miyazaki to make it. Would beat the fuck out of Shrek 3...
-
...I mean really, it's way to easy to infer the wrong meaning and I hope I'm doing just that with your comment.
-
Has to be Michael Jackson.
-
Only because he could really nail the part when he yells hoooooooe!
-
Jaga The Wise - Michael Cain <p> Lion-O (adult) - Brendan Fraiser <p> Panthro - Michael Clarke Duncan<p> Cheetara - Rebecca Romijin<p> Wily Kit/Kat - Olsen twins<p> Tigra - Chris Maloni<p> Snarf - Andy Ricter<p> <p> Mumm-ra - Morgan Freeman<p> Slithe - Philip Seymour Hoffman <p> Jackalman - Robin Williams <p> Monkian - Ben Stiller <p> Vulturman - David Spade <p> <p>
-
Another dumbass movie putting a hereo in teenager shoes..and even worst making it live action....I see now to have a script writing job in Hollywood you just need an IQ in single digits, and a soccer mom that has a taste for studio execs....
-
...The Olsen twins. Wait, I think one was a boy... actually still perfect casting.
-
Jaga The Wise - Donald Trump (seriously) Lion-O (adult) - James Gandolfini Panthro - Owen Wilson Cheetara - Marilyn Manson Wily Kit/Kat - Corey Feldman/Corey Haim Tigra - Hulk Hogan Snarf - Michael J Fox Mumm-ra - Morgan Freeman Slithe - Mark Walhberg Jackalman - OJ Simpson Monkian - Harrison Ford Vulturman - Tim Roth
-
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors... :P
-
...this is probably the best example. They'll be doing a live-action version of The Mysterious Cities Of Gold next...
-
How about Inhumanoids. Could work.
-
...is if they find a great script, the right actors, a good director and awsome character designs... so I guess it's safe to say it will suck.
-
and have a ton of sexual tension between Cheetara and Lion-O.
-
I really hate those whiny infantilist "furwerts".
-
The few times I saw Thundercats as a kid it straight up bored me.
-
Seriously, Cheetara and Lady Jaye, made my day as a kid. However, seriously, this may be the most bizarre movie ever made. I have no idea how in the fuck you pull off a fucking live-action THUNDERCATS movie. Seriously Hos. Seriously.
-
She's alright to look at, but think about it. Furry boobs. Yeeeuugh!
-
You know the biggest rip off of Transformers deserves the live action movie treatment. Leader-1 will have flames AND nipples!
-
You know you want it! Shnarf!
-
It went like this: The Go-Bots; The Go-Bots The Go-Bots The Go-Bots! Incidently, it wasn't a rip-off of TF, the toy lines started at the same time, many believe Go-Bots toys actually appeared first, and the cartoon actually did. It was just a hell of a lot lamer.
-
Larry King for Mumra.
-
I just hope they forget that for about a quarter of the very first episode, the Thundercats were all nude. (Unless Jessica Biel is playing Cheetarah).<p> Snarf! Snarf!
-
On a cheerier note: http://www.devilducky.com/media/10641/
-
Thanks for the info, even more of a reason to make it into a live action movie. After that the public will demand a Go-Bots vs Transformers movie. Please God, make it happen!
-
Transformers = Big fucking robots duking it out and blowing shit up and looking very very cool. Thundercats will look fucking ridiculous. Who the hell would they be able to persuade to camp about looking like a reject from an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. Muck Fe.
-
The Rock Lords....
-
a fraking rock, that transforms....
-
was when your happymeal toys shaped like food, transformed.... and then fucked cats
-
I don't know what my posts meant to you, could you be a lil' more precise? As for Cheetarah's furry boobs, I experienced once some chick with hair on her areola. Disgusting. I'd never figure out why her pussy was shaved and she didn't took time to clean these 3 1/2 hair on her breasts. Strange.
-
This is one of those projects that will never happen, like Godzilla 2 or that ST movie with a young CGI Shatner/Nimoy as Kirk/Spock that was rumoured to be in development. WHo is their right mind is gonna invest £100M+ in a movie about talking Cat people who fight a mummy? Thou personally Cheetra is the 2nd sexiest cartoon character ever. What's Natasta Henstridge up to these days?

from Nickelodeon Pictures, with Alanis Morriset, Jack Black, Kyle Gass, Jessica Biel, Ryan Rynolds, Amanda Bynes in talks star... "You Can't Do That On Television: Or in a Movie"
-
Uh, yeah, don't. But if you have to, vin diesel for panthro.
-
http://youtube.com/watch?v=a_4Ju6ZqKPU

Snoop Dogg for Lion O is inspired. Always thought Sam Jackson should beef up and be the blackest panthro motherfucker in the galaxy. "Thundercats are loose motherfuckers". Like to see Jolie as Cheetara, and the invisible tiger dude should be offered to Brad Pitt. Unlikely I know. WhileyKit should be played by fucking Dakota Fanning, cos shes getting lazy these days. JAGA should be Clint Eastwood, or an old CG James Stewart. Slithe man... that gotta be Philip Seymour Hoffman (gotta see past the fatness in future). Jackalman has to be Jim Carey, and Monkey-dude should be some mono-sylabic buffoon, such as Will Ferile, ahem sorry Ferrell. Which leaves one key cast member..... MUM-RA! The badass crazy flying fuckers gotta be mostly CG, but the decripid old git has gotta be played by Chow Yun Fat.... now hows that for an interesting casting idea. Not sure if it'd work though. Hope this new script has the EXODUS story in it, and isn't a coming of age thing for Lion O... how boring. It should be action action action. And its gotta include the space battle that the mutants and the thundercats have on their way to third earth, when Jaga croaks. And make sure Sam Jackson builds a faithful thundertank... don't go 'tumblerising' it, like Morgan Freeman did in Batman Begins. That guy took re-imagining too far. Thundercats lair has to be IDENTICAL to the TV series. AND KEEP BILL PAXTON AWAY FROM THIS. Thunderbirds was a missed opportunity. THUNDERCATS ARE ON THE MOVE, THUNDERCATS ARE LOOSE!!!!!!!!! FEEL THE MAGIC HEAR THE ROAR MOTHERFUCKERS!! Man, I love Thundercats. I hope Hollywood leaves it well alone.
-
danny de vito for this part please, in fact lets have arnie and de vito team up again, they could play the kid cats it will be awesome. Martin lawrence should definetely play lion-o and whoopi goldberg as panthero. whoop whoop
-
As much as i love thundercats i dont think it should get a movie.Do you realy think warners studio execs will let a thundercats live action film be EXACTLY like the cartoon with no changes? Heck no sir. They'll have it watered down and changed thinking that "middle america wont understand a movie about catpeople" or some other dumb reason.Mark my words, theyll have a token pretty boy human character in there faster than you can say "studios know nothing". So please , let this one be . They should just make a thundercats game instead , it will cost less to produce and turn in more of a profit. Which is nice.
-
Thundecats crash on ThirdEarth, and find young orphan Shia LeBeef. This is our way of identifying with cat people... through Shia's gradual understanding of what it means to be a thundercat. Amazing. Fantastic............................................................................not.
-
Halle Berry as Cheetarah!
-
<P>"LION-O SHOULD BE PLAYED BY... ... a black man. I mean come on, who other than a brotha could rock an orange lop-sided afro."<P> Classic. Who says the english language is dead.
-
fuck off, cities of gold was fucking awesome. Michael Jackson
-
...just paint the guy blue and you're good to go.
-
I didn't even like the cartoon as a kid. It sucked. It was a show about a neutered tribe of cat people led by a mentally retarded boy in a man's body who subconsciously released his latent sexual urges by playing with his inflatable sword.
-
Except not.
-
And by the second season the lead female, the only non-spade member of the bunch, became so frustrated with her fruitless search to find a place in her fluffy-haired leader's heart that she turned to a local female woodnymph for companionship.
-
Snarf was and will always be the No. 1 most annoying comic relief/sidekick character in the history of animated children's stories.
-
Thundercats out-takes. If they have somehow miraculously eluded you, Google it now.
-
" I don't touch guns Beachhead " " When you say action, you mean violence " Who let this guy into Joe headquarters?
-
I sort of always suspected that Thundercats had been inspired by Webber's Cats musical. Does anyone know for certain whether one influenced the other?
-
...he wants his face back. Seriously though...live action Thundercats? Some things are better left as animation. It's bad enough Mac is bringing out OS Panthro.
-
...to sell a name and a nostolgic idea, rather than something fresh and new. They have numbers to support their sell. Even though, they end up changing the franchises so much it's something entirely new anyway.
-
I love it. Can't wait to see the Michael Bay treatment of this beloved 80s cartoon!
-
You all have no idea how relieved I am that other folk found Cheetara sexy when they were kids. It's like a dark cloud has been lifted from above my head. Whilst we're being honest, April from the TMNT did it for me too. And for whoever said Cities of Gold, good shout! Amazing theme tune I seem to remember.
-
...should play Panthro. I'll go with Biel for Cheetara. Paul Walker would be a serviceable Lion-o. And they could cast Neal McDonough as Tygra. It doesn't really matter if any of the actors can act, because they're a bunch of fucking talking cat people. Looks are everything.
-
...that they set this on modern earth. The Thundercats will also be genetically altered humans. Search your feelings of fuckstick hollywood, you know it to be true.
-
Maybe Im wrong, but I thought strong rumors of this was floating around a lil while ago that a deal was going to be made..Me personally would like to see Robotech/ Marcross...Make a 3 picture arch ala LOTR and later on give me the Invid Invasion. Yes I know the original Japaneese version of the I.I is not part of the Macross Universe.
-
Wasnt that annouced like a year ago, with Pharrel of the Neptunes / N.E.R.D as one of the Ex. Producers..Not for sure how that will turn out, think changes need to be made or it can come out a little cheezy, at the very least I say make it more like it's Japaneese counterpart which was more violent.
-
I'm right there with you, lol.. I also found Cheeta (the Justice League Unlimited version) sexy as well. Remember the ep Injustice For All when they capture Batman and the scene where he attempts to get her to turn.... Damn did I just admit to that?
-
That other opening sure did explain way too much.. Who would have thought the basic plot of Thundercats would be so complicated and hard to follow. No wonder they dropped it in favor of the hyper active opening we all know and love.
-
DigitalDong: I remember getting him one year for my birthday, and I just remember saying to my dad ... "he doesn't even have a gun". What was the point of being in America's Elite Fighting Force if they motherfrakker won't pick up a gun?
-
is was 5 parts, one whole week of awesomeness, although they never played them in order by the time i was watching it. and it was about how lion-o had to beat all the other thundercats at what they were best at to truly become their leader. and it ruled.<p> whoever dropped the bomb that this was a children's cartoon with sexual imagery that is very easy to extrapolate, congratulations, i hope the published expose is around the corner. <p> for the record i would also like to express the opinion that this movie will probably suck.
-
Gen X has loads of money to spend and we also happen to cherish our 80s memories as a kid. Hollywood caught on to this and now seeks to reel us in. I say make a movie out of every damn Saturday morning cartoon that ever existed. I want my 80s back!
-
I thought he was supposed to hit back like ages ago.
-
Michael Clarke Duncan should play Pantro Angelina J to be Cheetara The Rock to be Tigra and Shia LaBeouf as Lion-o
-
VING RHAMES is PANTHRO thought of this since i was 12
-
and he-man will BLOOOWWWW
-
...Paw Paw Bears, the live action film, with Jessica Biel as the girl bear, and George Clooney as the big turtle totem pole monster.
-
movies based on electronic games from the 80s: watch for Simon: The Movie!
-
I was gonna go with TOO THUNDERY, but there's always next time.
-
Was the best! I had a few of the toys, they ruled! And whoever mentioned The Mysterious Cities of Gold THANK YOU!! I could never remember the name of that series...remember seeing it as a kid once or twice at my neighbors house who had Nickelodeon....(i think it was on that channel)<p> but yeah.....JAYCE!!! <p> Who remembers those those toys of the giant insects and the commercials were like little episodes?????
-
always wondered why the leader was named after the son on the Jeffersons. This was one of those trailblazing toons way back when they first had an army of psychologists approving the script (along with He-Man). shouldn't this post have more haters? Jenna Jameson as Cheetarah. Get the guy who voiced JarJar for snarf.
-
Or how about: Crossfire The Movie. "Crossfyah!!! You get caught up in the!" <p>
-
http://youtube.com/watch?v=a_4 Ju6ZqKPU <p> seriously tho - if that is what can be done w/ NO budget or real FX, a TC movie may not suck - but it'll definately depend on the script. <p> And TC can work, esp for an "older" (pre-teen up) audience - the "sequel" comics released by...image(?) about 2 yrs ago did well, and nicely matured the franchise. <p> And Voltron's been in active pre-pro for over a year (animated). I think TC would do better as a CGI, a la TMNT or Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets. Some cartoons just can't be translated well to the "physical" world.
-
no talk of a Sky Commanders movie. how odd.
-
AHAHA! Funny... And then, and then have a sequel to the Josey and the Pussycats featuring Jem! (truly truly outrageous) with a cameo of Al Sharpton calling it truly truly outrageous. Man I need to get to bed...
-
That's all I got because I was a G.I. JOE fan instead.
-
I demand it. Give me a live-action Johnny Bravo movie. Now, I say!
-
When you step back and look at the basic concept of thunder cats, It almost cant go wrong. Pure sci fi.
-
you know, someone probably said that about Robot Jox too.
-
Except for all of the names. I mean, Thunder-everything? Panth-ro? Cheeta-rah? LION-o?? Why would their planet have the same animals as ours, let alone call them by the same names?
-
did anyone mention TC the musical yet? $150 a ticket - sold out shows - NICE! Maybe double bill it with the Lion King.
-
John Glover as Jaga, and Oliver Platt as Slythe. They're good, they're cheap, they're dead ringers. Nuff said.
-
Hungry Hungry Hippos: The Motion Picture!
-
I could actually envision the Fox Family Channel making one of these. Well, as long as someone else makes it first, anyway. Few original movies, over there at FFC... Very few...
-
if they kept the storyline close to the cartoon, but explained rhe origin of the names as some sort of Planet of the Apes deal. Maybe a intergalactic Noahs Ark, and over time they evolved.<br><br> I wouldn't even be opposed to the Cats being pets/servants of some intergalactic type warlord and they escape, and the names were basically given to them. Jaga sets them free and they go off looking for the eye of Thundara. Hell, Jaga doesn't even need to be a cat.<br><br> Slythe and co. are bounty hunters for said warlord, and the whole crash happens, and they run into Mum-Ra, shit happens, soon and so forth.<br><br> Just as long as it's not set in modern day, I'll gladly accept any tinkering of the plotline.
-
Laurence Fishburne as Panthro or another role. Hell, this will be considerably less crap than the Matrix sequels so he should be glad to be in it. Christian Bale as Tygra or something. Whatever, this should be made for Cheetara alone. Get the hottest girl it's possible to find, fuck the acting.
-
What no one grabbed them up yet. What that show have like 12 episodes made?? Remember Hector Ramirez , he was clearly based on Geraldo Rivera. If memory serves correctly he popped up on Transformers and Jem and Holograms
-
Will they keep the spandex?<br><br> "SPANDEX! ALL SPANDEX!!!"
-
but then I looked over at Kurt Russell and he was laughing ... so I guess it's ok.
-
lordy lordy lordy
-
audience/fanbase" already??? Movies that didn't have "built in audiences" when they were released: Alien, Star Wars, Raiders, Terminator, Matrix and on and on... In fact, I think it may be BETTER to take a lesser-known property for something like this. It gives the filmmakers more leeway with the characters and story to do something new without a million sweaty fan-boys screaming "TINO! TINO!". Oh yeah, and what's with you nitwits who blast Hollywood for not having any original ideas out of one side of your mouths and then scream bloody murder out the other side when original ideas are incorporated into pre-existing properties?
-
Except Tygra who should be a bollywood guy.
-
...Enemies crumble in fear and confusion....
-
...who could be a white guy.
-
This IS a WB tb, right?
-
I always hated the Thundercats. That stupid Snarf and those two kids always irritated me to death. Also even as a kid I was totally irritated by "Third Earth." WTF was that supposed to mean? I was also confused as to why they were fighting the same bad guy every single week and why, if they were from the same planet, they all seemed to be different species. <br><br>yes I was a nerd.
-
ONLY if MELTING OWL is casted as Supes. ;)
-
didnt cheetara end up with Tygra?, and they should bring in the ThunderDogs, they kicked all the ThunderCats asses !
-
after jenna jameson as cheetarah, michael chikliss as pantera, jake gyllenhal or jamie fox as tigra (who really cares), gyllenal or fox as lion-o (who really cares)and for the bad guy, Arnold Voslo (get it? Mum-my, mumm-ra - who really cares?)OR mumm-ra played by dougie or serkis AND voiced by Spike Lee! did I miss someone?
-
...and no mention of who's going to play Rum-Tum Tugger? <p> Why not develop the best 80's cartoon property already: Starblazers.
-
Rebecca Romajn as Cheetarah. Ving Rhames as Panthro.
-
Everyone's favorite jump the shark actor - TED McGUINLEY - as the entire cast! (Now I'm stoked!)
-
...the more I realize the general publc will consider this bit of a joke, so knowing Hollywood, my pick for Ben Stiller as Lion-O isn't so unthinkable. I'm willing to bet it'll be more on the campy side than most of us would like.
-
EVERYONE WANTS IT!!!
-
Charlize Theron as Cheetara, Rachael Leigh Cook as Wileykit and Ashley Judd as Pumyra in 'Thundercats in Heat'.
-
Michael Bay is rumored to be in talks to direct. My child hood is now completely and officially ruined. Damn you, damn you Michael Bay.
-
Do you really think they could do this justice? Look at Underdog for God's sake. Hollywood, quit pissing on my childhood memories.
-
We used to joke about shit like this.
-
this sounds retarded...of course, I thought the same thing about Transformers, and now I kind of want to see that
-
Ben Stiller as Lion-O<br> George Carlin as Jaga<br> Owen Wilson as Tigra<br> Jack Black as Snarf<br> Dave Chappelle as Mumm-Ra<br> It's gonna be a comedy.
-
starribg J-Lo, and Lindsay Lohan as the Misfits lead.
-
ENOUGH OF THE LATE-80S RETREADS. HOW ABOUT A QUICK DRAW MCGRAW FLICK? OR A YOGI BEAR & BOO BOO JELLYSTONE NATURE FLICK? WHERE'S LAND OF THE LOST? THUNDERCATS.....WIGGA PLEASE.
-
Make it a racial statement about the Mutants (whites) coming to third-earth (africa) and trying to enslave the thudercats (blacks). Call it the Thunder-coons. Lopsided red afro on Lion-O, Spielberg can direct it, and focus on what happens after the thundercats kill the crew of the Mutant spaceship and are taken to stand trial on mutant-land. Djimon Honsou: "Give us us Sword of Omens!!!"...... Anthony Hopkins as Jaga. Sam Jackson as Panthro. Morgan Freeman as Dr Dometone. Keenan and Kel as kit and kat (see what I did there... aliteration) and Halle Berry as Cheetara. OJ Simpson as Tygra. Philip Seymour as Slythe, Chris Rock and Chris Tucker as Monkey-fucker and Jackal-man (these boys have been americanised you see). Thunder Cats Lair = Thunder-coons crib. Thundertank = Thunder-ride. Mumm-ra is undecided as yet.
-
how about a howard the duck remake?
-
Orlando Bloom is BORN to play that part!
-
I watched as a kid felt the need to have at least one corny, cute character. Thundercats had Snarf, Mask had the R2-D2 rip-off, Super Friends had Gleek. I remember as a fourth grader rolling my eyes whenever the lame-ass comic relief character came in to ruin the action. (At least G.I. Joe kept that shit real, yo.)
-
annoying prick.

You got a great villain there for Thundercats. That's why it's a great idea for a movie.

Yelling Ho! is hilarious nowadays, not like back then
by DieHard Transformers fan
I wonder if they'll keep that cause "Thunder... Thunder... Thunder... Thundercats... HO!" will drive theatre goers nuts with laughter. Watch the clip yourself and see if you can keep yourself from laughing.
-
You can milk anything with nipples, tonamania.
-
It's not a bad idea. If the audience is gonna laugh at it, camp the shit out of it!
-
Gung Ho, Low Light, Spirit and Wild Bill looked like a Village People concert. how's that for comic relief.
-
The Bugaloos: The Movie!
-
oh what the hell. Throw in ferrel and a wilson brother, deniro as mumm-ra, and stiller's wife at her marcia brady weight and it probably would be worth a couple of laughs.
-
And pretty damn funny, too.
-
if it's a live action musical version. If they did that, it'd play in theaters for a decade.
-
Nothing says '80s like long-winded character introductions with inane adjectives. Dammit, I wanna see MASK: The Movie! Let's see that new retro-Camaro fly!
-
Wait a moment, isn't he dead?
-
You know it makes sense.
-
http://youtube.com/watch?v=UbNHR1jM4Ac <br>Could be way better than what they've done with F4.
-
Hoooo!
-
You ever see him on the Tonight Show? It's always the same. Jay coaxes him into telling a story from his youth and the whole time he'll be looking at the audience with a gigantic grin as if theirs one hell of a punchline coming up, and everytime Jay asks him a question he'd turn and stare at him with that big ass grin for like a minute or so, he'd do this several times during the interview, and you could see Jay always tries to rush him along, but he can never take the hint, and the audience is clearly getting restless, and when he finally reaches the "punchline" he bombs, and he's the only one that's laughing. Then Leno immediately throws it to the clip. The same thing happens evertime. Tis awkward.
-
I can't see a way for them for these characters to appear on screen without looking ridiculous. Multi-colored cat-looking people? Has anyone jazzed about putting out these remakes ever considered making an animated movie? I mean, we got a pretty good superhero movie in The Incredibles. What's funny is, even though the main reason audience of this film should be nostalgic grown-up kids of the 80s, they'll still give us some new vision. Has anyone seen Latino Review's story on the G.I. Joe script?
-
I give up... Hollywood is too scared to take a chance on a new script/idea... They have to go with garbage thats already been done before... I mean i like Thundercats but come on Live Action?
-
"The 45 Year Old ThunderCat Virgin" (You know how I know you Thundercats are gay? Because you're licking each other's furry balls ever so gently...) That little old Indian/Pakistani dude could be be mumm-ra. That's gold.
-
god, aren't there any better talkbacks we can post to???
-
Memories... blah blah blah blah blah Memories... blah blah blah blah blah blahhhhh. Blah blah. Blah blah blah blah BLAH blah blah blah, blah blah BLAH blah, blah blablah. [sung to the tune of Memories, from Cats]
-
First they finally put the series out on DVD and now this!! This is wonderful news and I have always wondered if it would ever be done. One of my all-time favorite cartoons to watch when I get home back in the day. Now I hope they do not screw it up like they did with Masters of the Universe and X-Men movies!!!
-
I mean, it wasn't even really a good cartoon, kinda lame if you ask me. The more I think about it, my outrage is simply over the fact that they really feel the need to do this. I'm totally starting to understand the Transformers naysayers here........
-
When it is said 'they've run out of ideas", who exactly are we talking about. The "suits" they've never had ideas in the first place. Except how to make money. There are original idea out there. It's just a harder sell.
-
Lion-O was a real pussy on that show. Don't think about that statement too long, please.
-
Masters of the Universe was a univeral bomb. They sure screwed up X-Men but people seem to love the crap. I mean once they took away Wolverine's costume they ruined the movies. Why do they think superheroes have costumes in the first place? Those black costumes were chump costumes. Fuck that, remake X-men. And put a tough guy as Wolverine. After you see Hugh Jackman in an interview you can't buy him as a tough guy anymore, he's too nice a guy.
-
Oh and make real metal claws come out, not some fake looking CGI claws!
-
That way you get kids, who already love cartoons, and adults who remember them from when they were kids. This is how the suits think. 10 years from now, we'll be seeing movies based off 90s cartoons like... I dunno, Bobby's World?
-
I hope they don't make them talk like they did in the cartoon. They talk like they're zombies. I just saw the clip and it'd be funny to seem them still talk like that.
-
If you wanted a picture perfect Wolvie, you'd have to cast a wrestler. Also, Wolvie always looked better without the mask. It's the hair that makes tha haracter, not the claws. And what bugged me is Jackman's do looked awesome up until midway through the first film, then after that, when they tried to style it up and make it more like the comic, it became ridiculous looking. <br><br> Honestly, the X-suits weren't all that bad. I do wish Cyclops had rocked the full skull cap suit, but the outfits were the least of the films problems.
-
Keemadachi or something? Well the entire Thundercats movie should be presented as his dream while taking a cat nap. That'll give them the excuse to work in Pole Position, and thus compete with Speed Racer. Which, never mind, I guess WB is also making.

It's because they've run out of Marvel comics to make
by DieHard Transformers fan
Marvel comic movies made money like crazy even if they screwed them up. Next thing is to make the best 80's cartoons. They seem to be doing a much better job on Transformers. Next, Voltron and Thundercats get my vote.
-
Yes!!! This is what I was talking about in the He-Man TB! YES!!! And maybe all of the Thundercats could be female instead! Lion-Oh! Teatgra! Pant-ho! AWESOME!!! And Mum-ra could hit them with like a Catnip spell ...and they would be like "Meoooooowwwww....I feel randy...." Oh yeah...Hollywood...you nailed this movie all right.
-
Actually Marvel's STAR Comics division had a T-cats comic, I totally subscribed to that biznitch.
-
... 90s nostalgia is picking up, if a little too early. So, what do we do... Batman: The Animated Series: The Movie??? Oh! I know! Ren & Stimpy: The Movie!!!

Get Transformers producers to produce Thundercats
by DieHard Transformers fan
They've done a great job updating Transformers. They were right and we were wrong, the cartoon transformers look outdated today if you watch the cartoon. Just don't let any people who made the Marvel comic movies touch it or they'll definitely blow it.
-
It was the most kinetic, well animated series out there....
-
... Steve Buscemi IS Ren... Vince Vaugn IS Stimpy! Patrick Warburton as Powdered Toast Man!
-
Original Nintendo game movies will be done. We'll get another Super Mario. Metroid. Legend of Zelda. The games are endless.
-
http://youtube.com/watch?v=JEcd71Hfpy8 <br><br> Too bad they can't make a adaptaton of this. ;)
-
After the revelation that they're an item, it wouldn't be marketable to conservatives.<br><br> "What deed I say? Im thee peecher, you're thee catcher."
-
See above
-
...on the Jamie And The Magic Torch Movie?
-
HHOOOO!!!! That's what I scream during orgasm. I always loved the opening of that show. Cool animation.
-
I always forget the name of that one cat.
-
Good god they better this get this one right. Now I will be on board with the TCINO team if this goes down hill.
-
He was a cat person too, just short and fat. He was the Danny Devito of cat people. He just ran around on all fours sometimes.
-
late to the party, I know. But seriously how long did take before people started to fantasy cast this eventual steaming pile of shit? And of course you have the inevitable "I hope its more grittier". Ughh...some of you guys are total fucking gluttons for punishment. You will get what you deserve.
-
I weep for you people.
-
Because it's not possible to "get right". It's gonna be a comedy just watch and see.<br><br> THERE'S A FACE IN THE CLOUDS MAN. FACE IN THE CLOUDS!!!!!<br><br> Off to work I go.

Pidge is my home slice!
-
Pidge is my home slice!
-
-Cheetara: Jessica Beil or Rebecca Romijn Stamos...i'm leaning more towards Rebecca... -Panthro: Leonard Roberts (D.L. from Heroes) would be kickass as Panthro, maybe too young though -Lion-O: Paul Walker(i know...i hate to say it...)but he would be able to pull off Lion-O, they need someone who can pull off young and unproven leader -Jaga: Sean Connery??? someone older who can pull off the Ben Kenobi mentor role as a ghostly vision...i could see it...
-
they're already doing a smurfs movie, doubt is pixar but it WILL be a CGI movie. not sure how far along they are but this news came out a few months ago so its probably still way early.
-
I watched the fan film (thanks shermdawg) and I just kind of, I don't know man, I just don't know. I was a fan of the show as a kid (before I grew up and realized how TC,Silverhawks and Voltron were anime) and I want this to work with out having to be cgi or animated but cat people? I bet money some movie studio executive is saying "but do they have to be cats? I mean it can be a metaphor,they can have cat like skills but not actually be cats.We can't market cat's " We might be in for trouble folks. I've read the script review for GI Joe online at latino review and it sucks ass. We have to have a faithful adaption of these materials or nothing at all. THINK SIN CITY.
-
Shouldn't Carrot Top play him? He's been working out, right?
-
Come on man, I get wehre your going with that, but Coon? Why not just go all out and say what your really thinking.
-
This is good news, perhaps they can do a Silverhawks movie too.
-
...Hoooo! Yes, it brings me back to my '80s childhood mornings, indeed. Fighting with my sis over whether we got to watch T.Cats or the "My Little Pony/Glow Worms" show...
-
Since we've got Thundercats, it's time to give Thundarr and the Sun Sword a movie.
-
GoBots in disguise!
-
So that's how they're gonna make it. That sounds cool. I just kept imagining the awful one they made. By the power of my cock!
-
Give me some "Battle of The Planets" dude! Key-Op rocks!
-
He born for this shit!!!!!!!!
-
Kinda like in "Cats" where the cast members run off the stage and start pawing at the audience. Ick. Oh, and Toyfare magazine did the whole "what if" casting scenario months ago. One writer suggested Andy Dick for Panthro. Genius.
-
This cartoon disturbed me before I even knew about the Furry subculture. And mark my words, when these whack jobs crawl out from their closets full of POUND PUPPIES and CARE BEARS, don their sperm-soaked tiger suits and assemble en masse for big-budget, cat-on-cat, fur-fest... the END OF CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT IS NIGH!
-
I don´t understand why they havent made a MASK movie yet. It´s probably the only 80`s cartoon that would make sense on the big screen. It should have been considered even before Transformers (which will suck because it focuses on the humans instead of the Cybertronians). MASK focused on actual humans from present day Earth and had shit that transformed. I could never see Thundercats more than a blatant rip off of Masters of the Universe- which was only cool in the little comic books that came with the action figures in the beginning- then came the stupid, very badly drawn, gay ass cartoon having He-Man transform into a prince and fucking Orco spinning around like a turd in a toilet. They made a reboot which I heard was actually decent- never sat down to see it- why not make a movie of that? Someone said that the cast for Thundercats should be all black...well who knows... they´ll definitely all have to be super gay to dress up as cats.
-
Seems oddly appropriate somehow...
-
this has Joel Shumacher's name ALL over it. Catsuits come already nipple-ized.
-
If this were real and convincing makeup on live actors and not cg character animation, you might have something here. You write a good script and get a good director, you've got me interested. Lion-O...Hugh Jackman...Cheetara...Angelina Jolie...Panthro...Michael Clarke Duncan...Tigra....Michael Dorn...Wily Kit...Ellen Page...Wily Kat...Aaron Stanford...Mumm-Ra...Gary Oldman.

It's cat-ninjas. <p> Seriously, guys; It's CAT NINJAS. <p> Anthropomorphic Cat Ninjas From Space.

ORIGINALLY POSTED BY SHERMDOG, SUBJECT: I'm late to the party. Here's my T-cat casting anyways. by Shermdawg Jan 14th, 2007 02:46:57 AM <P>Jaga - John Glover <P>Lion-O - Ben Stiller Ok, yes, The Rock would look cool as Lion-O, but thats waaay too easy, and tired if ya ask me. I thought, even as a kid, that Lion-O was a total cornball. Ya need someone who could play that. Stiller even freaking looks like him in the face, but they'd have to do some LOTR Gandolf camera tricks, because Ben's a bit short. Casting Stiller would be the best WTF casting that payed off in a fanboy flick since Keaton in Batman. <P> Panthro - Laurence Fishburne <P> Cheetara - Uma Thurman (Purrr-fect casting) <P> Tigra- Not sure, but regardless of the casting, he has to be Cheetara's lover. <P> Snarf - Jack Blacks face on a cgi body. Hell, rework the character just a tad, to make him less annoying. <P> Wilykit & Wilykat - Don't give a shit. <P> Pumyra & Bengali - I'm not gonna bother casting, because for some damn reason, none of the new episodes past "the movie" were thrown into rotation in my market. The show still ran, but it was just repeats. <P> Lynxo - Terry O'Quinn (based on looks only) <P> Mumm-Ra - Gilbert Gottfried / WWE Superstar The Boogeyman <P> Slyyythe - Oliver Platt (DEAD FUCKING RINGER!!!) <P> Jackalman - Willem Dafoe <P> Monkian - Ron Perlman <P> Vultureman - John Malkavich <P>See boys we all casted this movie like six months ago! FOR SHAME!

First we have the origin story, the Thundercats leaving their planet before it blows up, arriving on Third Earth, and pissing off Mumm-Ra. The Darker Second Act has Lion-O's five task initiation, but in a switcheroo from the cartoon, he gets all but defeated by Mumm-Ra. The third act involves many peripheral characters, like Hachi-Man and the mechanical pirate dudes, then descends into chaos when the Ewo-- I mean, Berbils are introduced. Eventually Lion-O finds the horn... of the unicorn... and peace is restored to Third Earth. The horn is, of course, sexually symbolic, the idea being that if we all just made love and not war, Third Earth would be a happier place. (*SPOILERS*) "

-
Oogla the Mok would beat the piss out of the male Thunder Cats, fuck Cheetarah into a sexual coma and then wipe his big Mok cock of in Snarf's fur. And that's just in the opening credits.
-
...And their quest to conquer an Egypt-like planet and defeat the uglier, less cuddly anthropomorphic animals into submission.
-
Sorry the track record of bringing 80s cartoons to live action isn't looking very good these days.
-
It's not just a rip off of He-Man, it also has elements of Star Wars (Lion-O, Jaga, Sword of Omens), Superman (last of their race crashing on an alien planet) and Flash Gordon and other serials. There is a lot of room to improve upon the original concept, there is also a lot of room to suck the life right out of it and make it less like mythology and more like say, a Michael Bay movie.
-
I never wanted to even THINK about it.
-
Subtext by Dick Nicely Jan 14th, 2007 01:01:50 AM <p>" My take on the Cat's Tale, to coin a phrase, is that Mumm-ra and his cronies were just pottering about Third Earth, minding their own business and building scary towers. Then these half-human half-feline creatures land on their planet and start making trouble. Oh, the cartoon tells us who's good and who's evil, but Mumm-ra was provoked and merely defending his territory. Therefore the subtext will be about how this propaganda paints the "perfect race" invading force as heroes and the ugly natives as villains, making it somewhat relevant to world events.<p> Also, there will be unicorns."
-
okay boys I shall continue to resurrect the original thundercats casting and commentary as soon as I'm done working. seems I have a software demo to coach (purses & shoes) now but will rejoin you with more from the past soon enough.
-
The Thundercats already have an origin story, it's called Exodus (It's the name of the episode, I'm not saying that the Thunderecats were lead out of Egypt by Moses.)<P> I can remember thinking it was weird that they had a guy that looked like Obi Wan Kenobi die and then talk to the other Thundercats in ghost form. I guess sight beyond sight helped them see other properties with good ideas.
-
the suits sitting at WB and saying "yes! great idea! thundercats!" i mean what the fuck?? these people are serioiusly deluded. I've sat in meetings like that, and being the cynic (realist) that i am, used to look at the faces of the execs. most were all hyper excited b/c the VP was all tickled pink with his idea, but there'd always be one or two people whos nostrils would just inflate as the deep breaths were inhaled. needless to say my tenure at these places didnt last too long.
-
Cant help but think it will be hard to pull off in live action. Thundercats is one of the few cartoons that hold up for me. It was fantastically imaginative and funny even if it was unintentional sometimes. The animation was also far superior to most other stuff and it had fantastic music too!
-
You all know it to be true. Expect Paul WS Anderson to direct and Shia LaBueouef to star.
-
They were shepharded by some Rankin and Bass leftovers from The Last Unicorn.
-
sure that the stories don't suck and all the men don't look like chicks.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_4Ju6ZqKPU WAAAHAHAHA
-
First off, a T-cats movie= nipples on Batman. There I fooking said it. Second, what makes anz of us think that they will even make anz of the movies that he talked about, JL, Teen Titans will never see the light of day, and if they ever do, they will be so watered down and useless that no one will watch them. I am kind of excited about "Super Max", but this could go real bad too.
-
...I think that would hype people much more than a live action. There's this whole school of thought that peoplel who want these products have been "waiting" for a live action version, no not really a movie maybe a live action one not so much. I'm not opposed to them doing it I just hope they take better care of the property the the TF crew.
-
Look I loved Thundercats...as a kid. Why the need for a live action update? Some things just don't translate to the big screen or age well for that matter.
-
They will be re-imagined as lycanthropes with ninja skills. When they're in CAT form, they'll look a lot more "cat-like" with muzzles, cat noses, and feline/human hybrid shape. When human, they'll look like your favorite celebrities. The movie will be about as exciting as Mortal Kombat.
-
Seriously people, I can see Transformers and G.I. Joe, but Thundercats was pretty damn gay.
-
they should adapt books into movies.... I.e. the Torg: Possibility wars, Replay, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, The Stars My Destination, Robert A. Heinlein's Friday,
-
with more maturity (that does not mean nudity and cursing). One of the things with the comic book relaunch was that many of the stories were more superficial than the cartoons and not nearly as imaginative.
-
will bring in Sharon Stone as Mumm-Ra. Because Mumm-Ra needs to be sexy. And Lion-O will have a really cool motorcycle and the Thundercats will be a street racing team. With lycanthropy.
-
I want more maturity, and nudity and swearing is exactly what I want to see, at least when cheetara is involved.....
-
Thundercats 2: Don't Tell Mumm-Ra His Babysitter's Dead with Hulk Hogan as Mumm-Ra. "Ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form to WWE Champion, er...Mumm-Ra, the Immortal, brother!"
-
I don't know how this will work as a live-action feature film, but hopefully it'll be cool. I will say that ThunderCats has possibly the coolest opening title sequence of any 80s cartoon...that I can remember anyway. It still holds up pretty well to this day. Now, as for the show itself...I haven't seen an episodes since the 80s, so I don't know...
-
Who would play Goose?

You said it yourself: cat ninjas. Not just cat ninjas... cat ninjas from SPACE. Can anything be more awesome than that? I think not.

Hey, they were around in the 80s too. Let's not leave them out of the "let's take every 80s cartoon and make it into a live action movie" party. Seriously though, I wouldn't mind seeing a GI Joe movie. Heck, even a well made He-Man movie not be all that bad. But Thundercats? Come on!

When I was really young I remember going into a video shop and seeing Escape from NewYork on video. Somehow I convinced myself that it was a live action version of Thundercats. Kurt Russel just looked kind of like Lion-O to me for some reason. My dad had to tel me I was wrong.<p>Anyway that is not a 'lost' opening, i remember seeing it loads of times as a kid, I think it might have been on the pilot or the straight to video feature length episode they released, Thundercats-Ho I think it was called.<p>Mathew Fox would make a good Lion-O. He could spend the whole film dening Mum-ra even exsits.

name is would be a good Tigra.

decidedly less excited now. Imagine the budget of a live action version though. The HQ, the Thundertank, Lion-O's hair.<p>Billions I tell ya.

Thundercats are lose.<p>Does that make any sense?

-
Brad Pitt will robbed of the part of a lifetime! DeSandman, like I said on The Zone, Silverhawks is to Thundercats what 'cars'-Voltron was to 'lions'-Voltron, second-rate cool. Sorry cars-V/SH-fans. Hey Rocur...what about 'History of the World Part II?' talk about long-awaited.

"What? That is woman's work!" and "Ariel, you are as lovely as you are stupid. Ha ha."
-
with Angelina Jole as Ariel. it would be like Mr. & Mrs. Smith but like, after an asteroid hurtles between the Earth and the moon.
-
I'd take either. Heck, I'd take John Carter or Flash Gordon or Doc Savage, too. We need more pulp!
-
But Thundarr is the kind of guy that thinks women's lib is for mutants. If you watch the cartoon on Boomerang he makes little remarks and likes to toss Ariel over his shoulder and teach a wench a lesson. Kind of like Conan.
-
in Doc Savage Man Of Bronze he lightly puches a girl in the cheek and says "your a brick".<p>I think it is supposed to be a compliment but it never works when I try it.

I always thought it was cool how physical she was when I was a kid. Most of the female characters on the other shows weren't as physical as she was and kind of stood around or fired weapons.

c'mon, this is a dumb idea. Go make up an original fantasy epic or at least a better concieved property.
-
civilization no longer exists but Ariel has her high heels.
-
Would Pitt be believed giving Angie orders? Also, Ariel is not the kind of girl who would have sex and then stab you like Angie.
-
Since it is recycling familiar elements, do you have problems with those concepts as well?
-
Ukla did sound pretty riled up there. You're right though, she should be wearing fuzzy boots like Thundarr's. And why does the bad-guy sound like Fred Flintstone?
-
bears called in Thundercats? They kind of creeped me out. I had a toy of one and I was always convinced it moved while i was asleep.<p>Plus has anyone thought how awesome the Thundertank will look in live action?
-
You must be thinking of Conan who gets it on with anything not nailed down.
-
And Larry King for Mum-Ra
-
RoberBelle and RoberBill. Those were some kool-aid drinking bears.
-
Thundarrcats?
-
I think might be a little too old though
-
go creating flaws so we can relate to him.
-
Now THAT would be cool. FUCK HOSTEL
-
I always thought Thundercats had a kind of deep hidden mythology. Why was Third Earth called Third Earth. Where did mum-Ra come from.<p>It kind of reminds me of LOST the way they land on a planet and we just get glimpses of an aincent past.<p>I honestly think a film could be something special.Plus because there is no real hardcore fan base people won't bitch about Snarfs eyes being the wrong color and shit.<p>I just hope they put flames on the Thundertank. Because thats what a badass like Panthro would do.
-
...seems like a perfectly capable cartoon-hero to me
-
Yeah Lion-O was flawed being a child forced to become a man, Instead they'll make Lion-o Shai labouf's Cat altered after a Sexual experiment (because thats more realistic)
-
I think he was actually younger then Wiley Kit and Wiley kat
-
so yeah, there was potential there...maybe still. Lion-O's biggest flaw was that he was too hair-metal
-
where more complex and flawed than your average charcters in a kids show.<p>Just looking at Wikipedia and some people who made Thundercats went on to form Studio Ghibli!
-
sorry...had to
-
soapbox. Third Earth is our Earth where all civilzation has been destroyed and the planet has recovered but civilzation remains in an arrested state. So we made the Bearbils (AI style) at some point in the past. Mumm-Ra (evading grave robbers?) rewoke from his slumber. He was entombed in ancient Egypt. King Arthur has been shown as being a member of Earth's past, or maybe was leftovers from The Last Unicorn, who knows? They never really explain any of it.
-
If not Panthro, then perhaps Mumra!! Vin Diesle would also be an acceptable Panthro
-
a kid thinking that it mite actually be in our past, that there was civilization, then the Thundercats came and then millions of years later we came along.<P>I even remember me and a friend being convinced it was kind of a true story and was based on actuall historical findings.
-
due to his youth. It's often used as a device to show a moral of some kind. He has been portrayed as arrogant, bullying, naive, rude, foolish, a number of things. He is still however good natured and honorable and desires to do the right thing in the end. <p> Cheetarah is portrayed as having a serious problem with greed at one point. Tigra had one, too, I can't remember what it is, though.
-
Thundercats, HOOOOOOOOO!<P> Let's hope they hope they stick close to the source material. If not, this will suck and be Thundercats in name only. FUCK THAT. TINO, bitches, TINO! These fuckers better not rape my childhood. <B>The original Thundercats mythology was deep and near perfection.</B> Mumm-ra better not be turned into a Russian terrorist because they are afraid of offending Egyptians. And the sons-of-bitches better fuckin keep the sex of the characters the same. Panthro is not a fucking CHICK!!!<P> THUNDERCATS > HE-MAN ... Fuck Skeletor and that bitch Prince Adam. Skeletor was just mad cuz his dick disintegrated and he couldn't get a blow. That's whole reason for the conflict in the series.
-
Although he was born to be Black Panther. Duncan is too old and not athletic enough.
-
Cheetara is ready for her close-up.
-
them mining some kind of substance, I think it was like Gold, they could mold it into shapes but it was tough, I think I remember it causing issues within the group.<p>And then Snarf said 'snarf, snarf' and they all laughed for several minutes.
-
Once again, stick to the source material Warner!
-
WONDER WOMAN?!!!?! Fuck you, Warner Bros. Fuck you like the "Ho"s you are.
-
Lion-o used the "sight beyond sight" to check out Cheetara while she was showering. I was kind of shocked that they would do that in a film based on a cartoon, but I looked over and Kurt Russell was laughing, so I guess it was okay.
-
that is all.
-
my first sexual feeling. Or maybe Wilykit.
-
technology. The other thing that they should keep in is the Mutants basically picking off as many survivors during the Thundarian Exodus as they could. Good way of establishing the hatred between the two groups.
-
...on the pilot episode. <p> Wow, she is nude. How could they pull that off? And Lion-O is a <b>girl</b>... Weird. </p>
-
as much as i loved these shows as a kid, i'm SO fucking glad they're adapting them into live action films rather than ruining truly classic material like The Book of the New Sun. keep remaking shallow shit into shallow shit, Hollywood, educated people everywhere thank you for leaving the true classics alone.
-
At least, that's what I'm going with.
-
porn chose Cheetara
-
and for anyone rushing to commence a witcch hunt and start calling people hater I don't hope any movie fails I just point out the current hollywood trend of flash over subtance. And with these new 80's era movie Transformers is the bar I just hope a movie is able to step over that rather Low bar.
-
the elements of the original in mind in a way that is not insulting to the audience. That is all people are asking.
-
Would make a badass Lion-O. I mean, he is already ripped and just change the words "Can you smell what the Rock is cooking" to the Thundercats chant. It is the same tone of voice and everything!
-
to go as Wiley Kit and Kat - no makeup needed. And of course, George Clooney would be perfect as Tigra.
-

I remember wondering about the time-line of Thundercats as well as some here have mentioned. But then again I tried to figure out the story-lines to music-videos when I was kid too (How 'bout a 'Union of the Snake' movie eh?) But like someone else said, there ARE alot of great books out there. I certainly think John Carter is more due than Lion-O
-
I watched some episodes of thundercats recently with my roommate, who has the dvds. I have to say, after about 5 hours of thundercats, we determined that not a single person threw or took a punch. not one. they had fights sometimes, and people would get tied up or jump out of the way of things... but no one took a punch.
-
a thundercats movie and a he-man movie, since theres no news of a live action duck tales movie this sums up my favorite afterschool shows back then, i ask the gods, please, out of these 4 shows at least make one of the movies mirror how the show was, and not in a campy style, without adding your own touches and upgrades. g.i. joe and thundercats especially.
-
how cool the spaship crashing on Third Earth was? It skidded for miles. That re-done in live action would be great.
-
There is not enough there for a movie. On the other hand, that could make it easier to adapt, less to screw up - just make an espionage/special forces movie. But if you've read the script review - it's laughable, so it's not looking too good.
-
in the Trek film was pretty cool. The animation in Thundercats was extremely well done, especially for the pilot movie.
-
This is going to end up a Cosplay festishist's dream, bet on it.
-
i gotta read that review. i'd dig a live ation gijoe series. thought the cgi wasn't half bad. but i can just picture a really badass movie if done right. i heard something about rise of cobra. there's some potential cause there's so many characters, and ninjas. cobra almost has that darth vader thing, with destro and baraness and serpentor. they can pull some good stories from the episodes i'm sure. maybe dusty can be a p.o.w and they have to rescue him, the possibilties are endless.
-
and every week Superninja's husband is about to find out that his wife is the infamous Superninja and then something saves her secret just in time.<p>Also each week a new guest star could come into the show and the police believe he is Superninja and the guest star could team up with Superninja to fight evil and then find out her identity but then die at the end so they can get a new guest star next week.
-
It was sos trippy how do you Translate into a actual planet called earth? as for Panthro He looked Black, sounded Black, so in most of our minds he should be played by a Black man. And call me racist if you want but just a footnote... I'm Black.
-
Yeah! To tell you the truth I would tune in everyday just for the intro, then I'd turn it off and go play outside or something.
-
'why do black people have to be black, why can't they be normal like the rest of us?' is that basicly what you are saying?<p>Only kidding. <p>They could find a grey actor.
-
that in conversations with people:<p>"Hey excuse me, do you have the time, oh and just a footnote....I'm black."
-
Mum-Ra's so cool. He never dies, and he can turn from a frail weak old mummy to a big Thundercat ass kicking mofo.

Thunder..Thunder.. Thundercats Ho! yes you Cheetarah
by DieHard Transformers fan
That was kinda mean of him to summon her by calling her Ho.
-
help me out with the casting.
-
Liono - Russell Crowe Panthro - Patrick Stewart Snarf - Martin Lawrence's decapitated head, animatronically controlled, inside a "hilarious" latex fat suit. Snarfer - Verne Troyer Monkian - McKenzie Crook Mumm-ra - Michael Jackson (although George Burns would have been perfect for the "decomposing" Mumm-ra, if he hadn't died) Slithe - Kathy Bates (ideally) Vultureman - Brian Cox (Why not? He's in every other film. If he can't do it, Jon Voight will.) Wilykat - Ralph Macchio
-
Looks just like him
-
the Thundercats so "thundery"? When they say they belong to the light, do they belong to the thunder? Do they belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under? Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better we belong, we belong we belong together...ahem-sorry for that, the 80's were coming back a little strong for me. But seriously...
-
play Superman for Lion-O. He has to play really young but look mature. It will probably come across as fairly creepy.
-
Because I always mean Jim Caviziel...<p>'Hey man do you have the time?'<p>'Yep it's Jim Caviziel'<p>'Oh and on a footnote...I'm white.'
-
I think people that look like cats will be hard to pull off. I say just make em people with special powers and call them Thunderguys. Thunder...Thunder....Thunderguys...and Cheetarah you Ho!!
-
could just get cats to play them and move the mouth with CGI like in Babe
-
Make this happen wb! and silverhawks and tigersharks and all animals turned superhero metahuman cartoon whatever!! Coz half of us will love it and half of us will totally raze it to the ground. worth it no? ofcourse! coz hollywood doesnt give a shit. money money MOney!!! MONEY!!!

He-Man the most powerful man in the universe!- arrogant
by DieHard Transformers fan
In He-Man's intro he yells "I become He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe!!". And like he's trying to convince you of that. What an arrogant ass. How the hell does he know if he's the most powerful man in the universe? Superman can kick his ass.
-
had to get that outta the way. my first talkback. very embarassing. oh, visionaries, throw that in there as well. and if only vhing rhames (i hope that's how it's spelled, if not my apologies) had ninja nunchuck skills and was 10 years younger, perfect panthro. and yeah, it really isn't racist to think he's black,he's probably the coolest guy on the show. next to lion-o ofcourse. Cmon! he calls every body a hoooooo! Panthro's big daddy pimp and lion-o's his protoge. Good job young pimpling.
-
I had forgotten that. How Bob Fosse. I remember it was an after school ritual to get quite baked and watch the show. Consequently, I don't have a very good recollection of it. Feature film? Really??
-
Ryan Reynolds-Lion-O Jessica Biel-Cheetara Matthew Mcconaughey-Tygra Tyrse Gibson-Panthro AnnaSophia Robb- WilyKit Josh Hutcherson- WilyKat Anthony Hopkins-Jaguara Whoopy Goldberg-Mumm-Ra Anthony Hopkins-Jaga
-
Can't wait to see how less blocky and more realistic that turns out. "A story about a boy and his sword...and his pussy."
-
The kids would love it! Or do you mean the big cats? A lion, tiger, cheetah, and panther that talk. Cool.
-
Yeah I think they had a long running musical. One of the longest in history I think.
-
Thunder...Thunder.... Thundercats and Thundercunt Ho!
-
They better not fuck this up especially Lion-O
-
Hmm, getting baked while watching the show... you were late highschool maybe? i was a kid when i saw this, very very nostalgic, and totally awesome. Its making fire with karate awesome. damn, i never grew up.... thanks for making me realize this doctor! im cured! not... but seriously, i think you're gonna be there on opening week and will probably enjoy half of it. seriously, the effect in hollywood these days.. i know that's not the only thing about movies, but its definitely entertaining. i'll escape to this anytime.
-
MY FAVIOURITE COULOR IS BLUE!
-
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TODAY IS ? TODAYS MOMMYS DAY!
-
Why can't they make it a hand drawn cartoon? I mean c'mon since Pixar got everyone on the CGI bandwagon there haven't been any decent handdrawn cartoons. Also add me to those who love MYSTERIOUS CITIES OF GOLD. That was a cool show, with one long story.
-
AND YOU ARE MY CREATION!

If you don't know Turbo Teen, it was an 80's cartoon about a kid who gets fused with his sports car when he crashes it into a secret science lab. Whenever he gets too hot he morphs into his car and if he gets wet he turns back into a kid. Seriously. His friends drive him to school. Check it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc 3T-Be6JEc&NR=1
-
well,come to think of it. white or black, they're still gonna paint him blue. or use prosthetics or i some kinda fur make up. really, with this movie, it's the new age of make up.. or not. But as for stan lee going to disney, i have so much respect for the man i'd considering watching anything he's behind. and if the movies are good, why not? i mean, frank miller never really had a huge mainstream audience (although what a comparison, couldnt be further apart), and who around the world really read that much hell boy? and frankly new movies come out every year that have totally original stories and characters and some become very succesful. pirates of the caribbean was based on a freaking ride!! if the movie is made well, i don't see why it shouldn't be seen despite the lack of a previous following in another format. glad you brought it up though, didn't know he went to disney. really? he did?
-
what was Lion-o sword for other than calling for help when his wimpy ass was getting it kicked. Oh yea he also had (sight beyond sight) just gay! Bring on the MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE BABY!!
-
...and it sucked. A lot. Go look for it on YouTube or something, but before you eat.
-
Nostalgia just officially jumped the shark.
-
...because bar the hilarious title music, Thundercats was shit. And yes, I did watch it as a kid and knew it was shit then too. Oh, and to the morons comparing it to Lord of the Rings - are you kidding me?!! There is more weight in my ballsack than in the flimsy half-arsed storyline of this 1980's reject.
-
...THE TOY. Who else remembers this shit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= LYs_GCy9PRk
-
That being said I still think this is a stupid fucking idea
-
If the live action can match the 80's TV movie in its portrayal of Lion-O ascending as both a leader and a hero, it'll connect with its 80s audience AND bring in alot of new fans imo.
-
I'd love him to do great work for Disney but his more recent efforts are very lackluster. To be fair, kind of hard to top the old stuff, you know?
-
Now don't get me wrong I loved Thundercats as a kid, but Silverhawks has the big screen potential.
-
All they need to do is adapt the story and get someone who writes good dialogue (that's where the real difficulty is with these movies). If they pull the designs off, should not be brain surgery, you know?
-
They're gonna make him like Conan, none of that crap from the first time around. I still think He-Man's an aggorant twat for saying "I become He-Man, the most powerful man in the UNIVERSE!!". Fuck you He-Man and shutup before Superman comes and kicks your ass.

If you were in any way disturbed by the costumed people in line on "Star Wars" opening days, then get ready to have your mind blown by the "Thundercats" crew. <br>And I would rather not even contemplate the eventual porno version of this film.

DieHard Transformers fan, Burtons Planet of the Apes
by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz
love or hate that movie the make up worked very well and I think they can pull off with making catpeople look cool.
-
He has a gauntlet made out of a huge cat's paw. Isn't that a little gross, considering he's part cat himself? That's like me wearing the hand of some other (much larger) human dude as a glove. Yuck.
-
Sounds handy to me.
-
had some sexual double entendres going on?
-
and didn't the nails shoot out and stuff?<p>I really must check out the DVDs.
-
Mumm-Ra's reflection back on him.
-
Mumm-Ra: "Aghhhhh! I look like shit"
-
Movie opens with Lion-O, bloody with several cuts and bruises, taking on 12 baddies, as one goes to stab him in the back, he jabs his sword back through the gut. Then promptly slices off another's head. He knocks another baddie out by kicking him in the face, cuts the arm off of another, and then finally cuts off another baddies legs off at the knees. They all pause, Lion-O says, "Who wants some more?" The other evil ones run off. "That's right, run, fuckers! HOOOOOOO!" Lion-O begins walking back toward his base. Cut to later that day, he arrives, and cleans up. There is a buzz on Lion-O's door, he opens it, and Cheetara awaits. They proceed to kiss intensely, disrobe (with female full frontal nudity) and cut to a full on sex scene ending with Cheetara satisfied.
-
"sometimes i walk around the neighborhood yelling..."THUNDERCATS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" sadly, nobody jumps out of the bushes to form my gang of ninja cats." <p>Comedy Gold</p> I am sure Shia LeBouf would have been there ready to molest the cats you would have summoned.
-
Wow. The 80's are back. Rocky, Rambo, Die Hard, Indiana Jones, Transformers and now Thundercats? I don't think this will translate well to the big screen. They would need a great script and director to make it even feasible. The greatest old cartoon that NEEDS to me moviefied is Starblazers! That, my friends, would rock.
-
The character Elias reminds me of about.. all of you. His rant about having a transformers handle way ahead of the movie's release date LOLOLOLOL.
-
Yeah baby! Gin-su sword power!
-
Do you remember love story line please! Tundercats is going to stink more like a dead rat after three days...
-
I agree with you, but please don't say anything more about Macross. It's been a life-long dream to do Robotech/Macross as a film and I am very afraid that Don Murphy or some other schmuck will come along and fuck it up before I get the chance. The more you talk about it the more likely that is to happen. Just give me five more years to try and get it off the ground. If I still haven't managed to do so, then bring it up in all the talkbacks you want. I know it seems like a shitty deal, but I'm begging you. Please.
-
Glad you're back. Thundercats is my wife's fav. I'm more of Silverhawks guy myself. Love those opening credit scenes. 80's goodness.
-
I prefer Macross over Robotech, but whatever. Anyone, and I mean anyone (and this is in no way a slight on you) is superlative to Don Murphy. Go Bass Bastardson, Go! Shit, now I have the Macross theme song in my head. Memories abound.
-
Jessica Biel as Cheetarah,

by R.C. the "Wise"
around Paramount and WB. Just an FYI
-
June 7, 2007, 12:38 a.m. CST
Now see, I just don't think a Zelda movie needs to be
by HeWhoCannotBeNamed
made. Perhaps I lack vision.
-
You have to remember that Lion-O is much younger than the rest of them.
-
Zelda has a lot of classic myth elements and just deals with pastoral vs. city and peasants and monsters, there's nothing special about it. It's basically a blank slate for them to do anything, just with name recognition. The temptation I think would be to be oddly faithful to the games when it is unnecessary. Mario Bros., now that I don't understand making into a movie. Plumbers and a turtle king. Video games? Sure.
-
Well at least theres no horrible wire work with CGI :)
-
Sorry, had to. Yeah, it sure seems the 80's are indeed back. Now all we need is zombie-Reagan. Oh, diehard guy, tough call there between HeMan & SuperMan. HM has the power of greyscull, whereas sups loses power when not near a yellow sun. Eternia's sun is like, pink or something, so I guess it depends on where they fight. But HM has bigger muscles.
-
POTC. And before that LOTR. He better ride that gravy train. :) Link talks to tons of people, have you ever played the game? When N64 game came out I was obsessed with Link getting the horse and the music used in that location. It must be in this movie! Hahah.
-
I'll be watching Hal Hartley films.
-
book, but of course they team up never settling the question of who is stronger. It's He-Man. Superman is vulnerable to magic on top of needing the yellow sun.
-
I didn't know they teamed up. I knew Spidey and the Transformers teamed up, but how the hell did HM and SM hook up? They didn't get it on did they?
-
beat up each other's bad guys, you know how that thing goes. Based on what I gleaned from the internet, He-Man was talking in "Thous" and "Thees" so it was probably written out of character anyway.
-
unless HM went through some portal like in the Lungren film. I can imagine how their conversation must have went... SM: "I put on these glasses and everybody thinks I'm Kent" HM: "Shit, all I do is wear pink muthafucka!"
-
I mean, while he's all waving around his sword, couldn't a bad guy just pull an Indy and shoot him? Superman, on the other hand, is vulnerable to only ONE thing- kryptonite.
-
use heat vision, run fast, freeze things with his breath, has x ray vision and super hearing (though im not sure how he would use that in a fight) and he can FLY. All He-man can do is basically break stuff. Having said that, I think Hulk v. He-man is a better comparison. I think Hulk wins that one too.
-
Alright now y'all got me thinking. How about Man at Arms vs. Boba Fett? I want to make a movie where Man at Arms and Trapjaw get somehow get teleported to this galactic contest where they have to fight Jango and Boba. Winner takes on Batman and Robin, who just kicked Inspector Gadget and Penny's ass.
-
Always.
-
Thanks for your support. Now if we can just get everyone to promote more shitty cartoons in these TBs, maybe the suits at the studios will be distracted from ruining the good properties. That way people who are actually passionate about them can work on getting them made correctly. That's why I am trying to get people hyped for a Turbo Teen movie. If Don Murphy or Lorenzo Di Bonaventura can spend a couple years trying to hammer out a Turbo Teen flick, that is time they won't be spending ruining Macross or Yamato or Harlock. ;) You know what? I just convinced myself - I am now in full support of this Thundercats movie.
-
we might be on to something here Cotton...
-
is someone to take those outtake sounds from Thundercats/Silverhawks that have been floating round the net for years and set them to the cartoons. Those quotes are so funny! Hearing Liono say: Shut up, you fuck! is classic.
-
Hacksaw Jim Duggan...HOOOOOOOOO!
-
Unless he's playing a whiny wuss I do not like Eric Bana.
-
hey bib fortuna, glad somebody else mentioned that. would love to see that too. but seriously people, i dont understand the haters.. what have the thundercats done to you guys huh? maybe its cat phobia.. or thunder phobia.. a little bit of both? cmon! the tc's kicked ass! and if you hated it so much do yourself a favor and forget about it. stop givin the fans grief. its not our fault we want to see stuff that made us happy in the 80's.
-
That is all.
-
Lion-o: Tom Welling. Panthro: Derek Luke. Cheetara: Beyonce Knowes. (she can also sing the title song/RnB tie-in) Tygra: Some Bollywood Guy. Get 'em WB. Get 'em NOW!
-
was the most obvious draw out of all these 80's 'toons and yet somehow they managed to turn a sure-fire cash cow into a sub-Xena style telemovie. I mean c'mon, it had teens with different special powers trapped in a magical fantasy world wear ANYTHING can happen! Dragons! Goblins! Wizards! The Harry Potter crowd would've eaten it up. HOW did they manage to fuck that one up? Instead we get tat like Eragon. You would have to kill off the annoying bloody Unicorn though...
-
'where'.
-
When this idea first started floating around about 6 months ago there was talk of doing it all cgi like the recent TMNT flick. I want like action! The practical effects and makeup appliances would be pretty cheap and effective today. I really like the "lost" intro, they could really play up the spiritual analogies of good vs. bad; unholy forces indeed.
-
...and where is my "RUBIK: THE AMAZING CUBE" live action drama?
-
I could see Gem, Snorks, or Turbo Teen for the live action treatment but not Thundercats. And why has G.I Joe dodged this treatment for so long or did I miss something? It would be like Saving Private Ryan but no one dies. I mean the He-Man movie was great...right? Voltron could be cool, but we really want to see M.A.S.K.
-
But as a short film, not feature-length. Basically it would be a guy who wakes up in a racquetball court that's filled with the colored blocks. He has to fight his way out with a racquet and ball.
-
of He-Man. I'm holding out on all cartoon movies until a G-Force/Battle of the Planets movie is made.
-
What a great subplot! Everytime some one touches her back, she drops to her knees and begs for it! Fuck 'hard R', Lets go NC-17!
-
There is no justice. Only the one money can buy. That is all. Back to your regularly scheduled talkback.
-
...I think of Battle of the Planets. True story.
-
think about it....who better to play MUMM-RA than the one time WWE Champ he has the build, the look ( shaved head) and could truly be a great bad guy?
-
My fingers are crossed they bring that one back too.
-
Thundercats outtakes. Download them now. Oh, and please, please let Marko Djurdjevic do the designs. And let Schumacher direct. It's gay enough.
-
now that I'd go see..
-
Look up.

YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT.
-
<br>
-
is convoluted. Zelda is just about a nice little elf boy that wants to save a princess.
-
Steve Carrell can be Brainy. Scarjo can be Smurfette. And Patrick Stewart can be Papa Smurf. We need this! You can make Gargamel the sympathetic character, where someone finds his diary of his long torture at the hands of his neighbors the Smurfs, finally ending in his mysterious disappearance. It can be like Blair Witch but with Smurfs!
-
shermdawg and anchorite were both part of the original thundercats casting thread WAY back in january. although they weren't around for long. the original subject was the "hannibal rising" talkback.<p>finally, superninja, I think the lead character in every final fantasy game is actually alot like link--young, girlish, and quiet. that could strife kid in FF7 never said a damn word to any body. and I played that game in excess of 255 hours--and not a single sentence out of his mouth!
-
I've been dreaming of a macross (japanese) or macross saga (robotech-america) live-action movie FOR 22 YEARS...so don't hold your breath.
