The property is apparently still slicing its way forward, and according to a blog post at Frederator, it has JACK fan JJ Abrams and his Bad Robot company on board as co-producers, and is set up at Paramount.
Alas, the movie’s progress is reportedly “glacial”, and the script for the “2D/stereoscopic 3D production” is still being written by Tartakovsky himself.
The former Cartoon Network series followed a future-flung swordsman battling the armies of demon lord Aku (RIP Mako). The pop-culture packed samurai tale referenced everything from Kurosawa to ‘Lone Wolf and Cub’ to Frank Miller’s 300 to STAR WARS (which Tartakovsky already captured with his CLONE WARS series).
