The Origin Story We've All Been Waiting For!! Here Comes The TOM AND JERRY Movie!!


Merrick here...


The unwanted encroachment of marginally rendered, fully anthropomorphisized (is that actually a word?) CGI animalia continues via a TOM AND JERRY movie from Warner Bros.

Plans are to bring the constantly warring cat and mouse to life as CG characters that run around in live-action settings.

Studio-based Dan Lin, currently producing the upcoming "Sherlock Holmes" and exec producer on "Terminator: Salvation," will adapt the classic Hanna-Barbera property as an origin story that reveals how Tom and Jerry first meet and form their rivalry before getting lost in Chicago and reluctantly working together during an arduous journey home.

...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.

Whatever. I'm holding out for an Itchy & Scratchy movie.
