Casting For Thundercats Live Action Web Fan Series

Posted on May 4, 2011 at 8:12 am by Joe Moore under Thundercats Movie News

Thundercats.ws forum member TCProducer of ThundercatsTheSeries.com stopped by to let us know that they are casting for a new web series. The new web series is meant to be a live action “fan imagining” on the Thundercats characters and mythos we all know and love.

“Hey there everyone, we’re casting a “fan imagining” of the Thundercats – it will be live action and it will be awesome! We’re shooting 30 minutes which will be cut into 6 episodes for a web series starting in June.

We’re hoping to have it out by 2012 depending on time in post production but our director has some big plans for it – think special effects ala Star Trek (2009).

You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter or our website and even be part of the project.

I’ll also post updates here as we move forward from casting photos to behind the scenes if you’d like.

Will Smith Wants To Make A Thundercats Film?

Posted on April 20, 2011 at 2:11 pm by Joe Moore under Thundercats Movie News

Welcome to Third Earff! According to ShowBiz Spy (who I’ve never heard of), Will Smith is apparently interested in producing and starring in a live action Thundercats. With absolutely no sources cited, take this with an Uncle Phil sized grain of salt.

“WILL Smith wants to make a Thundercats movie!

The Hollywood superstar is said to be looking to develop and star in a live action movie based on the cult cartoon capers of a group of cat people whose space ship crashes on a mysterious planet.

“Will is a big Thundercats fan and even his kids are into it now,” says a source close to the Smiths.

“Will is looking to develop a script and possibly work with (wife) Jada on the project.””

So more on this as it becomes available…Or gets debunked. Either or, we’ll cover it here.
