October 11th, 2007
Jerry O’Flaherty, art director of Gears of War, Unreal Tournament 3 and Command & Conquer has landed his first gig as director of a feature film, with Warner Bros. upcoming CG-animated Thundercats movie.
O’Flaherty is currently working on the script with Paul Sopocy, and plans to remain faithful to the franchise that children of the 80’s will remember so well. Speaking of the jump from games to movies, O’Flaherty told Variety:
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.
