“shedding light on the current situation with the new series and the potential for a film.”

O_________O

Don’t get too excited as it might be in regard to the shelved movie from a few years ago… until I have a copy of the magazine I can’t really say much more :wink:

AND the potential for a film. That means that a potential film was or might be in works, if they meant what you just said they typed it very wrong.

Hopefully only good news can come from this. I hope someone posts the article when it comes out, or can at least summarize it.

I’ll try and pick up a copy and post a summary of the article, though it might not be til the weekend. Hopefully someone else will before then though.

You can get the magazine from iTunes through app. Read it. Still “in hiatus”.

Cool! Didn’t know that!

Still I’ll be buying a print copy for the site since Chris (He-fan) helped with the top 10 episodes section for the classic series! :slight_smile:

Well at least it will be an interesting read either way.

Being “in haitus” is still good news with what I heard recently, in that both Young Justice and Green Lantern have been canceled in order to make room for Beware the Batman and Teen Titans Go!

I don’t think it would hurt to have four shows for DC Nation instead of just two and have them on different days of the week, rather than axe two existing ones that have built up a following in favor two new shows coming down the pipeline. But that’s today’s CN for you. I still stand by my earlier assertion: they’re the EA of cable TV networks. :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s really rare for Michael Jelenic to talk about “ThunderCats.”

Well is this issue out yet? Has anyone read it if it is out?

It would be great if someone who purchased it, could give us a coverage in the Thundercats article.

Went to “Barnes & Nobles” today pick up a copy and they have issue #75. .. aka won’t be out til next month :slight_smile: hope that helps

Ok then let’s wait for a month then;)

It is out - I saw it in Tesco on Saturday.

Any news on this item?

I finally picked up a copy today.

[I]Although Warner Bros. declined to discuss it’s plans for the series with SciFiNow, Norton offered some insight on what might be “While the show remains in hiatus, we have worked out the arc for 52 episodes. We’d even planned up to 65 to be honest! We’ve gotten pretty far with many of the episodes scripts in the next batch. With all the material we’ve created, it would be a tough job for someone to come in and finish the show without understanding the totality of what we planned.”

A movie could still be on the cards, too, despite Warner Bros. pulling the plug on an announced ThunderCats project. (NOTE: I think they are talking about the canned CGI movie here) “They got pretty far, they did some development” confirms Jelenic. “Ultimately, just because it’s so difficult to put a movie together and there’s always so many questions, it’s probably that more than anything the reason why we haven’t seen anything. Same with the series - it took ten years before we hit on the right combination of a lot of factors. That’s just the same sort of situation for a movie. But I think a movie will eventually happen.”[/I]

I’ve transcribed the best bits from the interview above. This isn’t the full interview/feature. There is quite a bit more! In regards to a movie, likely hopeful thinking. However who knows? It might happen eventually.

I would love to hear the rest of those scripts! It sounds like both the rest of the series and the movie are a bit of a long shot, but I would really enjoy either one (if done well). I just hope we dont have to wait 5+ years for new Thundercats viewing…

Thanks for posting a review of the article! Any news is good news if you ask me. I’ve been keeping the candle lit for 25 years hoping we’d see another Thundercats series. I think I can wait a few years still to see if we can revive this one. I hope they get something together with the unproduced episode materials.

I’m doubly curious as to what happened with the toyline, and if there were ever prototypes of another wave made.
