Legit?

Flixlist.com had the following to say:

So, this is kind of cool. I got a tip yesterday from an anonymous source that he had test footage of the Thundercats CGI-reboot film. Upon further questioning, homeboy sent over the footage, and it checks out (Warner Bros logo and everything). But before we get to the video, let’s go back to 2007, when Variety broke the news of the reboot. At the time, Jerry O’Flaherty, art director Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3, was to direct the movie. Then, in 2009, Movieline posted some leaked concept art of the film. As of now, the film has been put on hold, but a new TV series is scheduled to drop this year.

Now, for what you’ve been waiting for. The video is included here. What do you think? Personally, I was never a Thundercats kind of guy, but I would go see this movie. I honestly have no idea how old this footage is, though. So the movie could be completely changed by the time it releases (if at all). I’ll keep my ear to the ground about any new developments.

I really don't know if it's legit, but I don't like it. I'm happy they went with the cartoon series (if this is what we would have got)

I can't say i am not happy this test footage never made it into the big screen.

So alienated from the Thundercats we know and love.

You've gotta be *******! This was utterly hideous!

[nickmills]

I dunno - it's not too bad. Although that Slithe design is just rubbish - the Lion-O look/voice is fine. But I prefer the look of the new series, to be honest.

I believe that this is legitimate - the character design for Lion-O is a perfect match to the one that was revealed, the whole thing looks like I was expecting the movie to look, plus I've seen storyboard artwork of this sequence posted up to DeviantART by the storyboard artist who worked on this sequence. So yeah, I think this is legitimate!

I personally don't care for it, but will say in fairness that the "Thunder...Thunder...ThunderCats Ho!" sequence did touch an emotional nerve, LOL!

Take care...

Nice...still glad we're getting an animated series instead

[Snake-Eyes]

Wow. Interesting. I also am glad that WB decided to go with the animated series.

The sequence runs perfectly to the original WBs storyboards I acquired a while ago. I like the new darker images of Lion O

Yep, those are almost certainly the storyboards I remember seeing a while back - well done on snaring those for your collection!

Take care...
