According to Variety, Warner Bros has joined its counterparts Disney into turning some of its old cartoons to live-action movies. Expected to blend live-action with CG animation, Tom and Jerry movie will be directed by Tim Story (the director of Ride Along and Fantastic Four).
The live-action movie isn’t expected to go into production until at least next year with a late 2020 release already in the works.
Tom and Jerry started in 1940 and picked up seven Academy Awards and overtook the Looney Tunes in the early ’60s to become the highest-grossing animated short film series of all time.
