WB announces live action Thundercats movie - Ho-oooo!

Not one to be left out of the 80s cartoon remake race Warner Bros. Pictures has optioned another script, this one by Paul Sopocy, to turn the popular 1983 animated series Thundercats into a live action feature. This makes it two, as WB announced they would be moving ahead with a live-action adaptation of another 80's cartoon, He-Man. Who has G.I.Joe and Strawberry Shortcake? Anyone?!

The original series story revolves around a group of humanoid cats who must flee their planet of Thundera after it's destroyed. Once crash-landing on another planet, Third Earth, they must thwart Mumm-Ra, an evil sorcerer, bent on killing them off. Sopocy's script is described as an origin story expanding on the major heroes and villains from the animated series, with the plot focusing on Lion-O coming of age as the leader of the Thundercats - DarkHorizons

Now, if I may suggest that someone from Warner call the band Relient K and pay them a ridiculous amount of money to use their song 'I'm Lion-O' you would make me a happy man.
