4.17.2008 | Charlie Wen Revealed As ThunderCats Movie Concept Artist
Posted by: Manny
We've received word from a very reliable source that Charlie Wen has been revealed as the concept artist for the upcoming
ThunderCats movie. Charlie Wen's previous works include Visual Development Director to the critically-acclaimed video game
God of War II. He was also linked to the project
Gatchaman which was being developed by Imagi. Unfortunately, the film changed direction and he decided to move on.
As of April 16, he posted a comment confirming his involvement with the
ThunderCats film:
Thundercat's is another old cartoon that's making it's way to film...hoooooooo! hehe---sorry, couldn't help myself. The show also made an impression on me as a kid, maybe not quite the way Gatchaman did, but none the less, it took a good chunk of my after school hours. Currently, this is keeping me busy, along with some other projects on the side, which I can't mention yet.
You can read more about Charlie Wen at his blog:

3.22.2008 | Easter weekend update!
Posted by: He-Fan
Happy Easter from all the team at ThunderCats Lair!
To celebrate this special weekend we have several updates for you to both our Cartoon and Comics sections! First up is the addition of five more episodes to our continually expanding revamped Episode Guide, featuring the usual array of screenshots, insightful information, synopses, reviews and memorable quotes!
Members of our forums have already had a sneak peak at this, but for those who haven't seen it yet, the latest article to be added to the Cartoon Section is Exodus: The Deleted Scenes, a detailed feature showcasing several scenes that were present in the ThunderCats pilot (including its release on VHS home video as part of what is known as the "movie version" of "Exodus"), but ultimately cut from the stand-alone version of the episode "Exodus". As well as describing and providing insight into these scenes, this article is packed full of screenshots, video clips, and even soundclips of a couple of lines of dialogue that never even made it to the TV! Intrigued? Check out the article! Enjoy!
For fans of the ThunderCats comics, ThunderCats Lair is proud to present a small update to our special ThunderCats Original Comic Art Gallery, with the addition of the following fabulous pieces of artwork:
Once again, ThunderCats Lair would like to publicly thank all those who have donated images to this gallery!
Last but by no means least, towards the end of last year Chris had the pleasure of speaking with legendary UK comic artist Martin Griffiths - Martin worked extensively on the UK ThunderCats comic, and was happy to share his memories from working on the comic in this insightful interview! Martin also gave us a look at the beautiful new ThunderCats poster he has produced:
Once again, a very happy Easter to all ThunderCats fans - keep checking back to ThunderCats Lair for more news and updates!
