Via Variety: It’s Thundercats, ho! at Warner Bros.
Studio has optioned a script by tyro scribe Paul Sopocy to turn the popular 1980s animated series and toy line into a CGI-animated feature.
Warner-based Paula Weinstein will produce through her Spring Creek Prods. banner, along with Dick Robertson and Lew Korman.
Property revolves around a group of humanoid cats (with feline names like Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro and Cheetara) 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 has written the script 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.

No, no, a thousand times no.
When the Studios came for Silent Hill,
Lion-O remained silent;
He was not a gamer.
When they locked up the rights to He-Man
Panthra remained silent;
He was not from Eternia.
When they came for Speed Racer
Cheetara did not speak out;
She doesn’t like Trixie.
When they came for Thundercats,
there was no one left to speak out.
