The Adventures of Thomas (planned film)

The WWII Movie, (possibly titled Thomas the Tank Engine), is the term used to refer to the upcoming theatrical Thomas and Friends film that's currently due for release in 2014. The movie was originally scheduled for a "late 2010" release but was pushed back to Spring 2011, then again to a 2012 release, and finally, a 2014 release. Josh Klausner, Will McRobb, and Chris Viscardi have been confirmed as the writers. The film will use a combination of live action (most likely humans), and CGI. Unlike the current seasons and specials however, it appears that WETA Digital instead of Nitrogen Studios will be supplying the CGI aspect of the film.

Plot
The film takes place in London during World War II, and revolves around a pre-teen boy who has drifted apart from his father. The son is introduced into the world of Sodor, a place his father visited as a child but can't remember. There will be a bonding experience between the two in the film.

Characters

 * Thomas

The Steam Team and The Fat Controller are also likely to appear.

Trivia

 * It is rumoured it plans to change Thomas to make it appeal to older audiences. "The movie will launch a line of older-skewing movies and toys that will be in the vehicle aisle of the toy stores and not the pre-school aisle."
