Jotham Knight’s Round Table

The need to geek-related projects sweeping through Warner Bros continues with news that a THUNDERCATS script by Paul Sopocy has been optioned, with an eye towards bringing us a live action THUNDERCATS movie!

Now that the THUNDERCATS have been put out on DVD, I’ve been able to catch up with me youth and realize that they opening sequence is one of the best things about that show. Kids really don’t pay much attention to bad dialogue do they?

Warner’s collection of animated and live action projects based on comic property is quickly assuming Kong-like proportions — with TEEN TITANS, WONDER WOMAN, THE DARK KNIGHT, a SUPERMAN sequel, JUSTICE LEAGUE, HE-MAN, SUPER MAX (a Green Arrow movie)and whatever else I’m forgetting in motion.

Keep in mind that this is what we could get

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. Pictures is bringing Terry Brooks’ “Shannara” fantasy book series to the big screen, picking up the rights to the series.

I’ve haven’t read one page of these books, but I’ve heard good things. It’s described as “The Shannara series, which blends technology and magic, is set in a world decimated by apocalyptic battles, with mankind splitting into races of trolls, gnomes, dwarves and men, with elves coming out of hiding. Politics and war are waged using magic with a backdrop of the skeletal remains of skyscrapers and subways.”

Sound like fun to me. More summer reading has been added.
