The CG-Animated Thundercats feature film has a director to add to their list, Jerry O'Flaherty has been brought on board to bring these '80's icons to life.
A video game veteran, this is O'Flaherty's first shot at a feature length film. Warner Brothers is the studio behind the film with Paul Sopocy as screenwriter.
Here's an excerpt from the official announcement from Variety,
Warner Bros. has tapped its top Thundercat.

Here's an excerpt from the official announcement from Variety,
Warner Bros. has tapped its top Thundercat.
Vidgame vet Jerry O'Flaherty will helm the studio's CG-animated "Thundercats" feature, based on the popular '80s cartoon series, comicbook and toy line.
The project marks the first feature directing gig for O'Flaherty, who served as an art director on such bestselling games as "Gears of War" and "Unreal Tournament 3" for Epic Games and the "Command and Conquer" series from Westwood Studios.
O'Flaherty had been looking to make the leap into movies and was considering several projects, even live action.
But the "Thundercats" story appealed to him, as well as the fact that vidgames are increasingly incorporating lavish animated sequences that mimic pics, making a toon a much easier transition.
"It feels like a natural thing for me to step into," he said. "Games have come so far now. The last four years of my life have been about bringing the energy of filmmaking into the videogame experience."
O'Flaherty will now work with scribe Paul Sopocy on the script.
