As his new film Godzilla Vs. Kong opens Wednesday in U.S. theaters and on HBO Max after turning up a Hollywood film pandemic record $123 million gross in 38 overseas markets last weekend, director Adam Wingard is set to direct Thundercats. That is a big scale feature based on an animated TV series that ran from 1985-89 by Rankin Bass, and several other iterations, comic books and merchandse.

The project had been developed by Rideback’s Dan Lin and Vertigo’s Roy Lee (they were producers on the Wingard-directed Death Note), with an early script by David Coggeshall. Wingard will start from scratch to turn all this into a hybrid of CGI and animation. The series focuses on a group of cat-like humanoid aliens who live on the dying planet Dundera. The Thundercats are an elite group that is charged with saving the species.

You mean one that is somehow better than the 1980s one with Courtney Cox and the bald guy from top gun?

I trust no more remakes from the 80s. Fool me twice can’t get fooled again.

If they made a new He-Man movie it wouldn't be a remake. Just a new interpretation of the property.

Blair Witch and Death Note were both abortions but You're Next Godzilla vs Kong were great. I'm willing to give this a shot.
