Thundercats Coming To The Big Screen
They're both on the run and loose

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Well, it had to happen. Last week we were told that He-Man and his Masters of the Universe are to get a second bite of the movie cherry, which drove many a reader to ask, "whither the Thundercats?". To which the answer is now: coming very soon!

Warner Bros has optioned a script by new writer Paul Sopocy based on the '80s cartoon. The script, according to Variety, is an origin story chronicling Lion-O's path becoming leader of the Thundercats as well as the creation of the villainous Mumm-Ra (The evAHHHHH LIVING).

All your favourite anthropomorphic felines – Tygra, Panthro, Cheetarah – will show up. So, who should be cast as the furniture scratching warriors? We're saying Ving Rhames should be a lock for Panthro. And Snarf could be played by that tabby that belongs to Mrs Scoggins and number 23.

X-Men, Transformers, now this. One-by-one, they are destroying everything I loved as a child.

Isn't there a DVD boxset of all the old cartoons?

I've seen it happen for transformers.

yes you can only get it from HMV at the moment and they sold out within days.. I think that they are getting a new batch in soon though..
