Nobody has repied to this?

..This seems VERY interesting..and with the recent studio move, will this ‘short’ be a draft to the official movie? Maybe the producers of Tcats realize that Tcats should be done in LIVE ACTION ^___^ But I guess I’m just excited about the recent “HollyWood” comment on there. I cant wait to see it.

I hope the info is true because it all sounds cool, especially having somebody from Disney come in design the vehicles. Wow, the T-Cats with a Disney touch! Who’d have thought it? :thumbsup:

It’s probably not been replied to because it’s quite obviously a fake - why on earth would you choose Twitter, of all things, to do updates and such? It might just be some fans trying to get something together - which is great, obviously, but not the ‘official’ movie.

Judging by the lack of news, I’d actually say the film itself is in some sort of trouble. The credit crunch doesn’t exactly help and, with films, you get updates of filming and such. We’ve heard absolutely nothing for a while.. so I’d throw it out there that it’s probably been delayed or something.

Is not exacty fake but it isn’t the WB movie either, it refer’s to the site www.thundercatsthemovie.com which first showed up in about 2005 with a petition for WB to make a thundercats movie based on a script that they were coming up with. If you go to the site now you’ll find this:

Since 2006, we have received thousands of emails from fans around the globe that want to see a Live Action version of their beloved ThunderCats. As of 2/27/09 Warner Bros. has decided to continue their development of a CGI version in the vain of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As die-hard fans, Live Action is the only way to bring Ted Wolf’s original and venerable creation to life. In response to the studio’s decision, we have set out to make the best Live Action short anywhere-- A true, collaborative project that is for fans, by fans. When the new fansite launches you will be able to support the live action ThunderCats short film by donating small amounts of money (Crowdfunding), vote on the cast, read the script, leave comments…

We are making the 30 minute short based on EXODUS, the first episode of the TV series-- After the destruction of their planet Thundera, Lion-O and the ThunderCats flee to Third Earth where they encounter Mumm-Ra, The Ever-Living. There’s nothing cartoonish about this adaptation though, from emerging director, Jerry Chan, written by Dale Lucas & Chad Rouch. The compelling and semi-dark story reintroduces millions of old and new fans to the Mutants and for the first time, reveals the reason behind Mumm-Ra’s hatred for Lion-O and the ThunderCats. Witness one of the coolest special effects in cinematic history as Lion-O calls forth the Eye of Thundera through the mystic Sword of Omens.

Twitter is actually quite popular and is meant to post updates and such nick :wink:

I agree about the delay on the film. It seems that the producers are thinking hard on how to not make it fail. I say live action would be the best way to go. More people will see it IMO.

Yes, but.. that’s not what I mean. You don’t see movies like ‘The Dark Knight’, ‘Hellboy’, ‘Watchmen’ etc being twittered as to it’s updates. It looks extremely cheap - updates come through the news and such, gossip websites. Twitter, as good as it is, is still just ‘social networking’ which is kinda looked down upon by the media as not a relevant place to spread news.

I’m not saying its THE official movie. BUT what if these guys are trying to gain the interest of the current producers of the TCats movie since it seems to be in limbo.

With the recent popularity of the WormyTv trailer more people have been talkin about a Live action film. So these guys making this ‘short’ are taking the oppurtunity now to give the producers a certian idea, done by fans, for fans. So I’m just saying that if the producers see enough potential in this short then they’ll make a deal with them, in basic terms this could probaly turn into a ‘draft’..

Again,this is just fun speculation. :wink:

Thundercats on Twitter

Im a bit worried by this, I love Thundercats, my favourite childhood cartoon by a country mile. So this could be excellent, however, and probably more likely it could be complete and utter faeces… only time will tell.
