We interrupt your regularly bland work day to bring you the following Internet Awesomeness. A certain Irish colleague alerted us to the following trailer for a movie version of "Thundercats" starring Brad Pitt, Vin Diesel, and Hugh Jackman.
It might be the raddest thing of all time.
It also couldn't be more fake.
Some computer-y type folks - most likely after playing a little D&D in their basement - spliced together scenes and sound clips from about 30 movies; painted cat-like faces on the actual images of the actors; and created an ass-kicking trailer for a movie that was one of the best 80's cartoons ever.
If you're not familiar with the Thundercats than it's important you understand they're cat-people who wield swords, kick butt, and search for ancient sources of mystic power. Just go with it.
Check out the fake trailer below and then cross your fingers that some real live studio executive did the same and put a real version on the fast track.
UPDATE: Apparently there's also a fake trailer made for "The Green Lantern" - Click here to watch it.

Cheetara is portrayed by the girl that played Chiana in Farscape, the SciFi series. It's so unfortunate that I know that. Rather clever trailer though. I'll have to show the Hubby, he'll be trying to buy tickets.

Impressive spot. That's one of those times you recognize something and are proud, but then realize that admitting it also makes you kind of nerdy. Happens to me a lot. ;-)
I feel ya, Matthew. I totally feel ya.
But on the other hand, I wish they'd bring back Farscape, or Battlestar Galactica, or.... nevermind. Thinking out loud again. I'll be back, I think my inner-geek is late for some SCIFI convention.
Well, let's see. I picked up the Lord of the Rings eye, Cats, the Musical, Spock in drag, Indiana Jones, Batman Returns, Garfield, King Kong, Ninja Warriors and Star Wars light sabers.
Since I don't go to movies much a few others slid past me. Do people pay money for this?
RE: Anne
Good eye. Thankfully, YouTube is free.
whoa--that's awesome
RE: Catherine
In so many ways, right?
