Thundercats, Thundercats, Thundercats.....NO?


You'd think that Warner Bros. would be chomping at the bit to cash in on the 80's revival some more, what with GI Joe and Transformers, and to an extent TMNT becoming tentpole franchises. But it looks like the turbulent nature of the studio, which has seen a number of potential projects cast into the Bermuda Triangle, has finally come around and bit ol' Lion-O right in the butt. Collider is reporting that WB is no longer actively developing the project. No real reason is given. I imagine it's probably in the same murky development hell that a number of WB "superhero" films are in.

I'm actually pretty disappointed by this. Thundercats seems like a natural fit to get the big screen treatment, especially if it's anything like that awesome fan made trailer from last year.In case you missed it, check it out below!
