Tom And Jerry Set For Big Screen Return
22 January 2009 11:06 AM, PST


Classic cartoon characters Tom And Jerry are aiming to replicate the success of the Scooby-doo film franchise by starring in a live-action movie remake.

The cat and mouse comedy duo became family favourites when they made their small screen debut in the 1940s, and an animated feature-length version, Tom and Jerry: The Movie, was released in 1992.

And now they're going one step further, with a live-action remake set to hit theatre screens.

Bosses are hoping the film will achieve similar success to the 2002 Scooby-Doo movie and the 2004 sequel, Monsters Unleashed, which grossed $457 million (GBP330 million) at the global box office.

The new film will centre on how Tom and Jerry met and their subsequent rivalry, according to Daily Variety.

*bows*

Didn't Hollywood already ****-up "Tom and Jerry" by having them talk?

Of course they did. I just hope that if they make Tom and Jerry talk...have better voice actors. (Tom talked a few times in those cartoons).

I am a little less opposed to them making live-action versions of cartoons, as I like to see how they will interpret the cartoon characters and situations in the "real" world. It's when they make live-action remakes of live-action shows, and remakes upon remakes of movies that are already there that bother me.
