Casting For Thundercats Live Action Web Fan Series
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?
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.

CBR Interviews Ethan Spaulding On Thundercats 2011
Comic Book Resources had a chance to chat with Thundercats 2011 Executive Producer Ethan Spaulding. Here are some choice quotes from the interview.
“This skews slightly older — probably ten and up,” Norton added. “And we definitely had the ‘ThunderDads’ in mind. We’re ThunderDads ourselves, some of us. There’s definitely something in here where old school fans are going to notice things and get that familiarity, but at the same time it’s going to be new. We found a way to wipe the slate and pay homage to the original spirit of the show.”
“The series sort of starts in the middle of the story. We have a pretty vast mythology that we’re developing, and it’s a slow burn. You’re not going to find out the whole story in the first three episodes. You’re not going to find the whole story out in the first 26 episodes. But we have a story mapped out that if you’re patient, all your questions are going to be eventually answered.”
