ScreenRant has apparently spoken to a source that revealed a Thundercats movie is still on the horizon for Warner Brothers. Paul Sopocy (It’s Alive) has allegedly not only finished a first draft screenplay for the film, but has been hired by Warner Brothers to do a rewrite. That rewrite has already been turned in to the studio. The source went on to say that while Warner Brothers will handle distribution, Chase Me Productions will act as the producing studio on the film.
That's not all, ScreenRant has also posted highlights of what could possibly be Sopocy's script:
"- All of your favorite characters are in the film, along with a few new additional ones: Lion-O, Cheetara, Tygra, Panthro, Wiley Kit, Wiley Kat, Jaga, Mumm-Ra, Slithe, Monkian, Jackal Man, and even Lion-O’s father, Claudus.
- There is no mention of Snarf at all.
- Panthro has purple skin – there was some concern of stereotyping him in the 80s as being big, bald and black.
- Claudus and Grune both appear in the movie.
- The Berbils robot bears are referenced but not featured.
- Monkian and Cheetara have one the funniest interactions in the film.
- Lion-O is given a [new] love interest, Kaeli.
- The film appears to be a hard PG-13 and is left open for a sequel."
Until this information is either confirmed or debunked, we should treat it like most Hollywood scoops; with a grain of salt. What do you Thundercats fans think? Would these plot points fit a proper film adaptation?
