Gears of War Art Director Taking a Shot at the Thundercats Movie
Posted by Jonathan on Wednesday, October 10th, 2007 at 2:55 pm under Gamer Life, Games Industry
Jerry O’Flaherty, known for his roles as art director on Gears of War, Unreal Tournament III, and the Command and Conquer series, has been chosen to helm the upcoming Thundercats movie. O’Flaherty promises to stay faithful to the franchise and explained how the jump from video games to a CG-animated film will make the transition into filmmaking much easier:
“It feels like a natural thing for me to step into. Games have come so far now. The last four years of my life have been about bringing the energy of filmmaking into the videogame experience.”
As a child of the 80’s, I was already pretty interested in the Thundercats movie, so this just makes me more intrigued. Gears of War had some pretty cool cut scenes, so it’ll be interesting to see what O’Flaherty can pull off. And if there’s a video game tie-in that’s actually good, that would be sweet.

jeez, weclock… why are you so angry? GOW and UTs have some of the best CGI and it will look really cool. Are you upset because it's not going to be live action? Yeah, that would look good. It would look like the musical CATS; dumb.
