Dan Lin of Rideback and Roy Lee of Vertigo, who produced Wingard\u2019s film \u201cDeath Note,\u201d were already attached to produce the film with a script by David Coggeshall when Wingard signed on, but Wingard and Barrett are starting fresh.<\/p>\n<p>The original series, which aired from 1985 to 1989, was revived for a single season Cartoon Network in 2011, and then again in 2020 under the title \u201cThundercats Roar.\u201d But as a feature film, \u201cThundercats\u201d has been a tricky project to crack for the studio, which has hired a small parade of screenwriters and producers since at least 2007 to bring a movie to life. The underlying story is at once relatively simple \u2014 a team of humanoid cat-people (or cat-like humans) like Lion-O, Panthro, and Cheetara fight the evil wizard Mumm-Ra on the planet of Third Earth \u2014 and surprisingly complicated, with a mix of technological space sci-fi and swords-and-sorcery fantasy. There\u2019s the mystical blade that holds the Eye of Thundera and the Ancient Spirits of Evil, and then antagonistic aliens like the Mutants of Plun-Darr and the Lunataks.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Deadline, which first reported the news, Wingard made clear he is not interested in making a \u201cCats\u201d-style live-action version of \u201cThundercats,\u201d and wants instead to take a CGI-approach to the visuals that would embrace the \u201c\u201980s aesthetic\u201d of the original series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to reinvent the way they look; I want them to look like Thundercats,\u201d Wingard said. \u201cI want to do a movie you\u2019ve never seen before: A hybrid CGI film that has a hyper-real look and somehow bridges the gap between cartoon and CGI. That\u2019s the starting point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"a-content a-content--logo-end u-font-family-body lrv-u-line-height-normal lrv-u-font-size-18 u-max-width-600@tablet u-max-width-640@desktop-xl lrv-u-margin-l-auto lrv-u-margin-b-1\">\n<div class=\"vy-cx-page-content \">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2021\/film\/news\/thundercats-adam-wingard-godzilla-vs-kong-1234940326\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> variety.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thundercats are on the move, again. \u201cGodzilla vs. Kong\u201d director Adam Wingard is attached to helm a computer-animated adaptation of the beloved 1980s Rankin Bass animated series \u201cThundercats\u201d for Warner Bros., from a script Wingard will write with frequent collaborator Simon Barrett (\u201cYou\u2019re Next,\u201d \u201cThe Guest\u201d).
