After the multi-platform release of\u00a0Godzilla<\/em> vs. Kong<\/em> this week,\u00a0director Adam Wingard has already lined up his next project for Warner Bros. Wingard will be bringing the famous 1980s animated series\u00a0ThunderCats<\/em><\/strong><\/a> to the big screen along with his frequent\u00a0writing\u00a0partner\u00a0Simon Barrett.<\/p>\n

Wingard has worked with Barrett in the past on both the slasher horror film\u00a0You\u2019re Next\u00a0<\/em>and the Dan Stevens thriller\u00a0The Guest.\u00a0<\/em>The director\u00a0is also known for his work on Netflix\u2019s\u00a0live-action\u00a0Death Note\u00a0<\/em>adaptation and for the found footage film\u00a0Blair Witch,\u00a0<\/em>which served as a direct sequel to the original horror film<\/a>\u00a0The\u00a0<\/em>Blair Witch Project.\u00a0<\/em>Roy Lin and Dan Lee, who produced Wingard’s\u00a0Death Note,\u00a0<\/em>will also serve as producers for the ThunderCats<\/em> movie.<\/p>\n

Wingard is a self-professed super fan of the ThunderCats<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and shared his excitement for the project in an interview with Deadline. The director even admitted\u00a0that he\u2019s dreamed of making a movie adaptation since his high school years, which was when he first knew he wanted to be\u00a0a filmmaker. He goes on to say that he was teased by his fellow classmates for his obsession with the ’80s children\u2019s cartoon and even wrote a 272-page screenplay by hand during his sophomore year.<\/p>\n

ThunderCats<\/em> was an American animated TV series<\/a> that ran from 1985-1989. It told the story of a group of humanoid cat-like aliens who are forced to flee their homeworld of Thundera after its destruction and now resided on a planet known as Third Earth. The show is considered a staple of 1980s children\u2019s television with its recognizable sci-fi aesthetic.\u00a0Warner Bros. obtained the rights to the series\u00a0in 1989 and in the years since its debut,\u00a0ThunderCats<\/em>\u00a0has spawned a franchise that has featured comic books, action figures,\u00a0clothing, and other merchandise. There was also a recent reboot\/sequel tv series\u00a0in 2011, but it was canceled after one season.<\/p>\n

Wingard discussed his desire to uphold the show’s trademark style. \u201cI want to do a Thundercats<\/em> film that takes you back to that \u201880s aesthetic<\/a>. I don\u2019t want to reinvent the way they look; I want them to look like Thundercats.\u201d The director further elaborated on whether or not the film would be live-action or animation, saying, \u201cI don\u2019t want it to look like Cats<\/em>, I don\u2019t want those kinds of issues, no disrespect to that director whom I don\u2019t mean to throw under the bus any more than everyone else has. I want to do a movie you\u2019ve never seen before. A hybrid CGI film that has a hyperreal look and somehow bridges the gap between cartoon and CGI.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wingard was one of several filmmakers who was initially upset with Warner Bros.’ unilateral decision to release several of their recent films simultaneously in theatres and on their streaming platform HBO Max<\/a>. This included Wingard\u2019s most recent film,\u00a0Godzilla vs. Kong, <\/em>but the director\u00a0<\/em>seems to have buried\u00a0the hatchet, as he seems eager to work with the company in the future, especially after the relative success of Godzilla vs. Kong<\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>which has brought in over $123 million overseas and is receiving generally favorable reviews.<\/p>\n

Godzilla vs. Kong<\/em> <\/strong>will be available to\u00a0stream on HBO Max on March 31, 2021.<\/p>\n
