The colors . I want to do a Thundercats motion picture that takesyou back to that ‘ eighty esthetic . I do n’t want to reinvent the way they look ; I want them to look like Thundercats . I do n’t want to do it live action , either . I do n’t want it to bet like Cats , I do n’t need those kinds of issues — no disrespect to that music director , whom I do n’t mean to thrust under the bus any more than everyone else has . I desire to do a movie you ’ve never seen before . A hybrid CGI pic that has a hyper real flavor and somehow bridges the disruption between cartoon and CGI . That ’s the starting point , and [ frequent partner in crime ] Simon Barrett and I are getting into the handwriting now . ”
Wingard and Barrett are alsoattached to do a sequel to the John Woo filmFace / Off and it seems like that would be the next project for the two . Previously , they made the Blair Witch sequel , Blair Witch , You ’re Next , The Guest , and Death Note .
There ’s no doubt that Wingard has a passion for this and it seems most audience are enjoy his take on Godzilla vs. Kong . ThunderCats is so different though . It ’s almost Avatar - esque , a huge step up from even Godzilla vs. Kong because at least those characters and that world are well - known . We ’re guardedly optimistic about this news but if he can pull it off , it would be a incredible victory .
