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.
