When you heardthe news earlier this weekof a novel ThunderCats movie , there ’s a chance you paid it no judgment . These days so many projects are announced , theater director attached , and scripts develop that so few of them ever see the light of day . That goes double for huge phantasy adaptations . Think about how manyVoltronorHe - Man moviesyou’ve discover about in the past 10 year — and then suppose about how many have really come out ?
But Adam Wingard thinks he can get ThunderCats done . The director ofGodzilla vs. Kongis now attached to adapt the property and in a unexampled interview withUproxx , he say the playscript that was already write for a potential picture felt like something was miss .
“ I think it ’s for the best that [ premature versions of ThunderCats ] did n’t pass , ” Wingard said . “ Because I retrieve that even the script that I read that was develop , which was in a pretty in effect place , I ’m not going to lie : I depend at it and I was like , ‘ This is really not too forged . ’ I was not expecting a lot , so there ’s a lot of good foundation within that . I ’m going to do a lot of different material to it . But I conceive the matter was is that it was clearly design to be shot resilient - natural process . And so , there are sure thing that when you show it , it does n’t finger totally ThunderCats because you may tell they were thinking of the restriction of bouncy - action movie theater . ”

Wingard ’s idea , consort to initial reporting , will be much more heavily CGI - based , blending element of live legal action to make the characters see like the characters fans know from the comics , toys , and telecasting shows .
“ Anytime I picture the ThunderCats alive - action it ’s basically just couch makeup on hoi polloi . It just looks ridiculous , ” Wingard continue . “ It just does n’t seem right . Because everybody , always , they think , ‘ Oh , the ThunderCats , they have to look like cats . ’ But if you really expect at the ThunderCats , it ’s not like they ’re conventionally looking like a cross between cats and humans , they ’re different . They ’re Thundercats . They ’re big than that and stranger than that . ”
Basically , he wants to avoid this .
Wingard says he and co - author Simon Barrett are currently rework the most recent draft of ThunderCats , so it seems unlikely it would be their next project . But there ’s nodenying his intense warmth or insight , or that the longer they work out on it , and the better technology get , the respectable a ThunderCats movie it ’ll be .
