Thundercats movie using avatar technology

[rdanny321]

now i believe is the time it could be done, the tank could easily be recreated possibly even build as the new batmobile was and the characters would look fantastic using the technology developed by the recent epic avatar

Avatar was done with fully CG humanoid characters and digital environments.

I want Thundercats to have real actors in the live action film, with perhaps little CGI effects to their body and face along with better makeup designs. But perhaps some characters could be fully CGI, like Snarf.

Avatar had James Cameron backing the movie and had a $300 million+ budget. I don't want Thundercats to have that huge budget, which will likely be the reason the movie won't get green lighted. Also if the movie does get made and bombs at the box office, it would be the end of the franchise.

Keep the movie budget within $100 million, not too much CGI, keep few things more realistic. Like real sets and natural environment with added CG effects.

I know model ships are old technology being replaced by all CGI ships, but for certain space sequences they could go with model ships instead.

Thunder Tank needs to be a real working vehicle like the Tumbler from the Batman movies.

i'd like to see it in the avatar style, 100% cgi or animated i dont care. but there's no way in hell anyone can make a live action cartoon not look like the people dressed up as mickey mouse at disneyland. i have spoken!

agree it needs to be live action but surley the avatar tech would stop it being the pantomime say street fighter was, and personally i thought avatar looked crap (new starwars visually looked better) crossing over with real time actors it looked wrong, but im betting this tech will come allong in leaps and bounds as old cgi has done regarding the way water and other elements behave,

surly the avatar way is the only way thundercats would look truely alive if it was implimented in the right way over a live action film, totally agree the thundertank needs to be batman style its the only way

There's no way that Warner Brothers or any movie studio could do a ThunderCats movie without Avatar technology. For them to not even consider it would be financial suicide in today's Hollywood environment.

to be honest I think Thundercats would do well with Lord of the Rings type sfx, they mixed practical make up (orcs and goblins) with cgi (Gollum and Balrog) extremely well and I think a TC movie shoudl do the same

as for Avatar, I actually thought it all looked really fake, imho Gollum and even Dobby from Harry Potter looked much better and more realistic than the aliens in Avatar. The only thing that really impressed be in Avatar was the backgrounds and scenery so I could see them using Avatar technology to recreate the Cat's Lair, Black Pyramid and Castle Plundarr

I'm with cerberus. Lord of the Rings technology may be nearly 10 years old, but it still looks terrific. I can see Thundercats adopting the same kind of technology for its film. It would probably be a lot less costly, too. I can see them using simple makeup for the Thundercats, more detailed prosthetics for the Mutants, CG characters for Snarf, Ma-Mutt, and maybe more complicated characters like S-s-slythe and Mumm-Ra in his Ever-Living form. They could use CG for some of the more exotic backgrounds and things like the Thundertank, and models for places like Cat's Lair, Castle Plun-Darr, and the Black Pyramid.

Having never seen Avatar (horror of horrors! ) I don't know how that technology is, but I just can't see Thundercats being that extreme. I don't think Hollywood would want to invest that kind of money in it, anyway. Just because Avatar was a huge success doesn't mean that every film should adopt the same format. Some movies just wouldn't work that well with it. Why reinvent the wheel?

Too right Spideristic! I LOVED the cartoon! No need to go all hi-tech and mess this one up.

[Endorx]

I dont see how they could mess it up..

If it was religious to the original cartoons, and looked like avatar then it cant go wrong

[Ideal]

my problem with using the avatar tech for Thundercats is that the main cast of Thundercats are all essentially humans with a few cat features. i dont see why that would require full cgi to accomplish.

plus im afraid if they do use the avatar tech, they would try to push the envelope and make the TCats more feline in nature, moving it further away from the source material
