Thunder Thunder Thunder Thundercats!

I cant say I’m completely surprised but the news that they are making a movie from the classic 80s cartoon Thundercats, but I’m not sure what to expect.  If its done in a style similar to 2002’s Scooby Doo (a hybrid of live action and computer dog) then I think it should stay in the 80s.  However, if it follows in the footsteps of the new Transformers movie, then this may be something to be excited about.  Plus the idea of a “Batman Begins”-style storyline is quite appealing; did Lion-O start out as a normal lap-lovin’ feline?  Was Mumm-Ra born from a pile of rags?  And WTF is Snarf?
